How Grey Talon beats Billy
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 Billy
A punk with a bat who turns every melee hit into ammo and every fight into a brawl.
- 01Keep him off you; Billy wants melee range for everything.
- 02Don’t pull against Chain Gang; straining the chain slows you hard.
- 03Bait Rising Ram, then fight while it’s on full cooldown.
