How Grey Talon beats Abrams
Mystic vs Brawler
Kite and zone. Your spells punish brawlers who walk straight at you.
Your game plan as Grey Talon
A hunter who wins fights before they start — from a rooftop, with a bow.
Lane
Charged Shot pierces troopers and heroes; poke every time they stand in a line.
Mid game
Set Spirit Snare on flanks and rotations. Rain of Arrows gives you angles no one else has.
Late game
Guided Owl is a map-wide stun. Use it to pick off the hero walking alone to an objective.
How to beat Abrams
A bully who wins by refusing to leave. Every fight Abrams takes, he wants to take at shotgun range.
- 01Kite him. Outside of Seismic Impact, Abrams has one gap-closer; once Shoulder Charge is down, walk backwards and shoot.
- 02Never fight near walls; a wall turns Shoulder Charge into a stun.
- 03Buy anti-heal before the second fight. Siphon Life and Infernal Resilience make long trades his.
- 04Bait Seismic Impact with your frontline before your carries commit.
