Your game plan as Grey Talon

A hunter who wins fights before they start — from a rooftop, with a bow.

How to beat Calico

A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.

• 01Move in pairs once she leaves lane; Calico hunts solo targets.
• 02Make her use Return to Shadows before you spend your big cooldown.
• 03Spread out against Gloom Bombs. Extra bomb hits deal reduced damage, but a full cluster still hurts.

1. 01Grey Talon out-farms Calico by ~22.4 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Calico looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
