How Grey Talon beats Paradox

Mystic vs Marksman

Use spells to force them out of position; marksmen hate being moved.

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.

A tactician who swaps you into her team.

  • 01Stay behind your frontline; Swap trades your position for hers.
  • 02Walk out of Pulse Grenade before the radius grows.
  • 03Shoot around Time Wall, not through it.
