How to play against Grey Talon

Combo: Grey Talon places Spirit Snare where you’ll walk (it arms after 2s and lasts 22s; it slows, silences and disarms), then shoots it with Charged Shot to set it off early with a bigger radius.

Punish window: Guides call him exposed while he steers Guided Owl. Push him then.

Beware: Snares placed around him still catch divers; look before you jump in.
