Use cover against Charged Shot and leave room to dodge sideways. Watch for Spirit Snare on the route toward him: its curse prevents attacks, ability casts and item use. Close the distance only when you have a safe route. Hit the enemy hero with Leaping Slash to recover health, then leave before their teammate can focus you.
Use cover during Rain of Arrows instead of crossing open ground beneath Grey Talon. Listen for Guided Owl and move away from teammates so its explosion cannot hit several of you.
Deny Grey Talon a clear firing line on wounded allies. Move between cover and check for Spirit Snare before pursuing him after Rain of Arrows. Use Leaping Slash on Grey Talon once you can reach him safely, keeping Return to Shadows for the enemy’s response.
