All Court of Owls Enemies and Crimes

Learn about all Court of Owls enemy types in Gotham Knights, including Brawlers, Shooters, and various Talons. Discover their weaknesses, resistances, and strategies to defeat them.

In Gotham Knights, you'll encounter five distinct enemy types from the Court of Owls faction: Brawlers, Shooters, Feral Talons, Gladiator Talons, and Hunter Talons. While Brawlers and Shooters are less formidable, the Talons require specific tactics to overcome due to their agility and defenses. This guide details how to defeat each enemy type and suggests beneficial weapons and abilities.

Court of Owls Enemy Types

Brawler

“We don’t know much about the Court’s membership, but most of them don’t seem to have much combat training. They can become a problem in large groups, so watch your back.”

Brawlers focus on melee combat and are generally weak. While manageable in small groups, they can be a nuisance when supported by allies. Veteran Brawlers inflict Toxic damage, but their overall output remains low. Both variants are susceptible to Cryogenic elemental damage, making weapons or abilities with this effect highly effective against all Court of Owls enemies.

Shooter

“Unsurprisingly, there are members of the Court who prefer to attack from a distance rather than get their hands dirty. They seem well-practiced and have solid aim, making them a legitimate threat.”

Court of Owls Shooters typically use pistols, making them less of a threat than those with automatic rifles. Veteran Shooters deal Toxic damage and possess the Armored Attack ability, which results in unblockable attacks requiring dodges. To defeat them, dodge their laser sights at the last moment rather than when they first appear.

Feral Talon

“Undead and vicious, Feral Talons fight like animals, relying on instinct. They’re unpredictable fighters and should be engaged with caution.”

Feral Talons are agile, undead creatures. Regular and Veteran variants share the same stats, with Veterans being tougher and dealing more damage. Their Evade Flurry ability makes them difficult to hit with direct melee attacks. To counter this, use heavy ranged attacks to knock them down, leaving them vulnerable. Momentum Abilities, especially Area of Effect ones, are also effective.

Gladiator Talon

“A more refined variation on the Talon, Gladiators maintain a calculated combat prowess. Their size and reach advantage make them a very real threat in close quarters.”

Gladiator Talons are larger and have greater reach than Feral Talons, specializing in blocking attacks with their Guard. Heavy attacks are effective at breaking their guard, while light attacks are useless until then. Momentum Abilities, particularly those with Cryogenic damage, are highly useful. If momentum is depleted, combine heavy attacks, light attacks, and dodges to defeat them. They may also perform ranged attacks, indicated by a red warning indicator.
