Dragon Talon is a fighting style that can be learned from Uzoth in Third Sea.

It serves as an upgrade to its predecessor, Dragon Breath, both having dragon-like moves and the same fire effects as well.

This fighting style focuses on close-range combat, AoE burn damage, and a bit of screen distortion, but in return for that is massive endlag on all moves. In general, this fighting style is mostly used in farming or doing Sea Events due to its high damage and AoE moves.

Obtainment

1. Obtain a Fire Essence from a Random Surprise, which can be rolled randomly from the Death King NPC. Each roll costs 50 Bones,
2. Go to Uzoth, who is located on the left side of the big gear to the right of the pole on the Haunted Castle, and give him the essence.
3. After giving Uzoth the Fire Essence, the player can learn Dragon Talon at any time as long as they meet the requirements.
   • Note: Uzoth will accept the Fire Essence at any time, meaning that the player does not need any of the mastery or currency requirements to give him the Fire Essence. Uzoth will then teach the player Dragon Talon whenever they have the requirements and choose to purchase it. Giving the Fire Essence to Uzoth will save between rejoins.

Requirements

• Have given Uzoth the Fire Essence.
• At least 400 mastery on Dragon Breath.
• 3,000,000
• 5,000

Mastery

• 400+ Mastery: Dragon Talon is one of the requirements to obtain Godhuman in Third Sea.

Overview

• Pros
• Cons

Pros
General Big hitboxes and AoE. High damage. Easy to aim (Except for the [Z] move). Most moves work with Awakened Buddha.
[Z] Talon Lighter Can be used for travelling, and as a bonus, holding it makes the player go further forward. Good distortion effect. Very good combo starting move.
[X] Ember Annihilation Can curve at enemies (if the player moves the cursor) and can carry enemies to a certain distance. Can be used to drag enemies away while allowing the player to throw projectiles and even do insane combos on them. Medium ranged.
[C] Infernal Vortex High combo potential. Good distortion effect. Easy to land. Massive upwards hitbox.

Cons
General Hard to obtain. Close range. Endlag on all moves. Barely any mobility moves. Not forgetting [Z] but it's a short-range for a mobility move. Medium start-up time which leaves an opportunity for the enemy to attack and possibly cancel the move (high start-up for [C] move). High knockback, which can fling NPCs away (making it hard to farm) & players away, giving them a chance to escape. Heavily depends on stuns, so the attacks are easy to dodge with Rabbit v3 and Flash Step. High mastery requirement.
[Z] Talon Lighter Not optimal for grinding as it is single target. Small hitbox making it hard to hit. Incompatible with Buddha due to its large size and hitbox, so the player has to aim down.
[X] Ember Annihilation Quite slow, making it very weak at mid-range.
[C] Infernal Vortex Extremely slow and has massive end-lag. If missed the user will get attacked easily unless the enemy is stunned. The distortion effect can sometimes be annoying to users. Very high knockback. Can easily be punished upon missing since the player has to stay still while using the move, making them an easy target.

Tips & Tricks

• An easy combo for Dragon Talon is [X] (Ember Annihilation), [Z] (Talon Lighter), Flash Step then [C] (Infernal Vortex). The player must be wary, however, as this combo is easily escapable.
• There is a technique known as the Dragon Talon 360, where the player can use the [X] move (Ember Annihilation), and then change their character's facing direction to loop the projectile around and drag the opponent back towards them.
  • The trick above can be followed up with the [C] move (Infernal Vortex) as a combo finisher.

Trivia

• When used with the Dark Step's [V] (Overheat) and the default Dragon Talon's flames, The player's avatar will have both hands and feet on fire.
• This is the fighting style with the highest M1 damage in the game (which is good for grinding).
  • On the other hand, this is also the only fighting style that has a distortion effect.
• Using an auto clicker and setting the click interval to 1 millisecond will make the player "fly" because the third M1 of this fighting style has a short dash, similar to Electric Claw and Dragon Breath.
• Uzoth, an admin of the game, adores this fighting style heavily, thus the reason he is known as the Dragon Talon Sage at Tiki Outpost.
• The sound of this fighting style's [Z] move (when it misses) is the same as the sound of the Yama [Z] move (when it misses).
• The M1 SFX originated from Dragon Breath's fire-based M1s, it being a predecessor to this fighting style.
• The Z move is similar to Fox Lamp's X move (tapped).
