How Grey Talon beats Warden

Kite and zone. Your spells punish brawlers who walk straight at you.

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.
