Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

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. Charge Power Slash beside cover. Follow with Flying Slash when your partner can help, saving stamina for the way out.

Mid game · Walkers

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.

Late game · Patron

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 Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Grey Talon. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.
