Tayir The Falconer

* Tayir
* Captain Tayir

*Legendary*

***Open chests to unlock***

#### **OFFICAL DESCRIPTION**

*Tayir smiles almost as often as his beloved falcon Aryn glares (which is all the time). This good-humored nomad knows how to joke his way through even the worst situations, while Aryn strikes from above.*

## **Battle-Spec's**

*-Sends his falcon to attack foes*

*-Medium range targeted foes*

*-Falcon blocks projectile attacks*

*-Normal ranged dash*

## **Advice**

* The mechanic for Tayir's attack is very unusual compared to other ranged characters. On clicking the attack button, Aryn the falcon will fly out to the point clicked and stay there for a second. Aryn cannot be recalled, and will hit TWICE on any target in the spot selected or neighboring spots (he will not attack targets in-between Tayir and the attack spot).
* There is no delay between Tayir's "attacks" (the decision to send the falcon out). Tayir's attack bar goes to zero when Aryn is away and returns to full when Aryn returns.
* Aryn has his own health bar separate from Tayir's. If his health is reduced to zero, he returns to Tayir's shoulder. His health automatically returns to full when he returns to Tayir.
* Tayir has two major weaknesses: he's slow (has little dash and it recharges slowly) and he's squishy. Also, he doesn't hit all that hard.
* His range is very long - around the same as Kadira's, and further than Piro, Sigrid, Okoyo, etc.
* Try and use Aryn to block enemies' shots while using a Javelin or other ranged attack to kill them before they can get to you.
* Alternatively, let an elemental do most of his fighting, or set traps around Tayir's position.
* Use Berserk or Rage Totem to deal more damage whilst attacking.
* One common tactic with Tayir is to keep him in cover (in long grass, behind obstacles, inside a building) and send the falcon to do damage.
* It is extremely difficult to dodge Tayir's attack, but high damage guardians can simply kill Aryn, forcing it to return to Tayir's shoulder. This is a major weakness of Tayir's.
* With static objects such as chests, Tayir hits the same as others but with delay; the falcon will hover over a chest, hit it twice, and return, or will smash a vase and return, etc.
* Hitting moving targets is somewhat harder. Aryn makes his own attack decisions and will hit the closest adversaries. This can result in Aryn hitting rats or minions instead of the intended target.
* Aryn seems to have an area effect attack. For example, he can kill two low-health rats with one of his two hits.
* It is possible to sent Aryn to the right spot and find the enemy is out of range by the time he arrives. It is also possible to send Aryn AHEAD of where you think an enemy is going, and he will get in two hits if you're right.
* It is also possible to have Aryn attack spots Tayir can't reach or even see, for example through walls into buildings. This is because Aryn is homing. Aryn thus "loops over" targets like Sigrid's ice balls, Okoyo's potions, Throwable Bomb, etc, whereas Kadira's shots are blocked by obstacles.
* Aryn does have its own range, so even if you don't aim correctly or can't see your opponent, he can still find and attack them to an extent.
* Tayir is also infinitely useful against Hanzo because Aryn will follow him even when he is dashing.

## **Trivia**

* Tayir was the seventh character to be added to Last Mage Standing (Formerly known as Arx Arcana).
* Tayir was formerly known as Peregrine in Alpha. Peregrine means "wanderer", but it is also a name for a species of falcon. It was probably changed to make the character more Arabic.
* Tayir is an Arabic word meaning "bird". For example, eiqab tayir is an eagle and tayir alkinarii is a canary.
* It can also be used as a personal name in Arabic, but this is rare. The name Tahir (meaning pure, virtuous) is similar and much more common.
* In some of the files I was given to make this theory, he's still called Peregrine!
* In Alpha, Tayir looked like this
