How Grey Talon beats Celeste

Mystic vs Mystic

Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.

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 Celeste

A showman. Celeste’s damage only comes out if you attack her — or stand in the light.
