How Grey Talon beats Ivy

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 Ivy

The partner. Ivy is twice as strong when she’s attached to the right ally.

  • 01Kill the connected ally first; Ivy loses half her strength.
  • 02Don’t stand in Entangling Thorns.
  • 03Expect Air Drop onto your backline and keep a stun ready.
