Dragon Talon
Dragon Talon is a fighting style that can be learned from Uzoth in the Third Sea.
Dragon Talon serves as a direct upgrade from Dragon Breath, with attacks that resemble Dragon's abilities—hence the name. It focuses on close-range, high-damage, area-filled combat, utilizing burning effects and distorting the opponent’s view with violent screen shakes.
However, in return, it is generally slower than most other fighting styles. Dragon Talon is mostly used for Raids and Dungeons, or Sea Events due to its high damage and AoE moves. Disabling screenshake also greatly aids the user, due to the high effect distortion on its moves.

Tips & Tricks
- If timed correctly, Dragon Talon can use two moves at once. By using [Z] Talon Lighter and holding [X] Ember Annihilation, the user can ride the dragon while burning the opponent with [Z] Talon Lighter (only works with the upgraded version). This is a glitch, so it might not work for some people and might get patched in a future update.
- There is a technique known as the Dragon Talon 360, where the player can use [X] Ember Annihilation and then change their character's facing direction to loop the projectile around and drag the opponent back towards them. To effectively do this, the player can aim [X] Ember Annihilation and, as it goes up, turn their camera to the ground they are on to execute the Dragon Talon 360.
- The trick can be followed up with the [C] Infernal Vortex as a combo finisher.
- [X] Ember Annihilation's stun is based on the Dragon's travel time. (more travel time = lower stun)
- This makes it so if the player uses the skill on the ground (which makes it so it doesn't travel) the enemy cannot dash or use skills for roughly three seconds.
- [Z] Talon Lighter has a bug with large avatars, where it can launch players extremely high.

- Dragon Talon’s [Z] Talon Lighter has a finisher variant. Shadow's [C] Nightmare Leech also includes a finisher variant, though the visual difference is subtle, making it less noticeable during normal gameplay.
- The finisher variant of [Z] Talon Lighter is a guaranteed kill—bypassing all forms of resurrection (like Ghost's and Pain's Resurrection passives, but also Friendly PvP's revive), defense (like Shark V3 and Cyborg V3), healing (like Phoenix's [X] Regeneration Flames and Angel V3), and instinct-tricking.

- Contrary to popular belief, the head seen during [Z] Talon Lighter, is a faint image of T-Rex's head, not West Dragon.
- This, combined with the fact that [X] Ember Annihilation uses East Dragon's model, and [C] Infernal Vortex resembling East Dragon's [X] Infernal Pincer, Dragon Talon might have finished development prior to West Dragon.
- When the user uses [X] Ember Annihilation at a thin wall like the Ice Castle's wall, they will have a slight chance of phasing through the wall.
