Learn how to defeat Gladiator Talons in gotham knights. Break their shield with heavy attacks and dodge their shield-club combo.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Gladiator Talon's main strength is their tankiness and a regeneration ability. They will heal to almost full health when damaged to about a third, and this cannot be interrupted.
  2. 2
    When the Gladiator Talon holds up its large shield, use heavy attacks to break its defense.
  3. 3
    Dodge the Shield-Club Attack Combo, which involves shield swipes and club stabs. A variant starts with a club poke. Look for the red circle indicating a strong attack.
  4. 4
    Dodge the Shield Slam attack by rolling away from the impact area. This attack involves the Talon jumping and slamming its shield down.
  5. 5
    If you engage in ranged combat, dodge the Shield Shooter attack where the Talon fires small bullets from its shield. A red arrow on the floor will warn you.
  6. 6
    At around 1/3rd health, the Gladiator Talon will pause to regenerate. While you cannot prevent this, try to attack as much as possible to negate some of the healing. This happens only once per fight.
  7. 7
    To fight more than one Gladiator Talon, focus on defeating one completely. If you are low on health and have no healing items, defeating one may drop a heal. Keep an eye on the other Talon's whereabouts, as they may perform slam attacks or jab with their club.
Tips
  • Use heavy attacks to break the Gladiator Talon's guard.
  • After breaking their guard, attack until they initiate their shield swipe attack, then dodge the subsequent combo.
  • Dodge away from the Shield Slam attack to avoid damage and being knocked down.
  • Be ready to dodge the Shield Shooter ranged attack, indicated by a red arrow on the floor.
  • When fighting multiple Gladiator Talons, prioritize eliminating one to potentially get a health drop if needed.
  • Maintain awareness of both enemies when fighting more than one.
