How Grey Talon beats Kelvin
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 Kelvin
A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.
- 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
- 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
- 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.
