How to counter Grey TalonHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

Heroes that do best against Grey Talon, the items that do best when Grey Talon is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against Grey Talon with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against Grey Talon, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong Grey Talon skews the list.

Their 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.

When to fight: 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.
