Grey Talon's Deadlock Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

Grey Talon deals huge damage from a far away distance, allowing him to take out important enemies before they can fight back. He can stay safe by keeping far away from the main fight and using his movement skills to escape danger. His accurate shots can break the enemy’s plans and force them to hide. He works very well with teammates who fight up close and distract the enemies while he’s in the backline. His ability to control long-range angles makes him perfect for players who enjoy careful, skill-based gameplay.

Weaknesses:

Grey Talon has low health and can be finished off quickly if enemies get close to him. He depends a lot on good aim — if he misses shots, he becomes less useful. He struggles against swift or sneaky enemies who can reach out on him easily. His abilities have long cooldowns, so using them at the wrong time can leave him helpless. He also relies on his team to protect him; without them, he can be overwhelmed and taken down fast.
