I am a mid lane assassin main and talon has been my main from season 1 to early season 4. i main all assassin such as Talon, Zed, Katarina, Kassadin and LeBlanc. i usually play assasin champions in solo queue so i have a lot of experience in this kind of champions. Well i hope you guys enjoy reading my guide and find it useful xD and please rate my guide if you think its useful for you when playing talon :) also feel free to ask me any questions and vote up :)

My season 3 Talon stats:

My season 4 Assassins stats:
My Katarina ranking on lolskill.net

Talon is an assassin which in my opinion has the fastest burst in the entire game (yes even faster than LeBlanc however unlike other assassins such as Zed and Kassadin he falls off late gamehttp://www.mobafire.com/edit/guide?guide_id=386223 pretty hard. Talon is a champion that can snowball really hard but if he falls behind it is also really hard to get back into the game. at level 6 he has the potential to kill an opponent mid laner with one combo

mercy

Talon's autoattacks deal 10% additional damage to any target that is slowed, stunned, immobilized or suppressed.

PASSIVE

This passive is more useful than it looks. the 10% increase damage will help your burst a lot. However the only spell in your kit that actually have ccs for his passive is the w so you might have to rely on your teammates in order to use this passive

ACTIVE: Talon's next autoattack within the next 6 seconds deals bonus physical damage. If the target is a champion they will also bleed for 6 seconds, granting sight of their location to Talon and taking additional physical damage each second for the duration.

Q

This skill increase talon's auto attack damage and should be use with e when blinking into an opponent. It also deal bleed damage which damage the enemy health per second

ACTIVE: Talon sends out a volley of daggers in a cone that then quickly return back to him, dealing physical damage to any enemies it passes through. Each enemy can only be damaged once at the start of the ability and once at the end. Additionally the enemy is slowed for 2 seconds, refreshing the duration of the slow if they are hit twice.

W

This his main skill for harassing. it has good damage in lane for Harassing. it also slow down the opponent which applies talon passive into them for a few seconds. It also has a cone range which damage everything in the direction of the skill

Cutthroat

ACTIVE: Talon instantly appears behind his target, silencing them for 1 second and amplifying his damage against that target for 3 seconds.

E

This is his gap closer. It isnt a dash ability which mean it can not be stopped once you use it in range of the opponent. it also amplify talons damage. This skill should be use to get close to an opponent enough to release your full combo.

ACTIVE: Talon disperses blades outwards in a 500-radius ring and gains stealth for up to 2.5 seconds while gaining 40% movement speed. When Talon emerges from stealth, the blades converge on his location. When the ring of blades expands and contracts, enemies hit receive physical damage. Each enemy can only be damaged once at the start of the ability and once at the end.

R

Talon's ultimate. This skill can be use as gap-closer, escape and for damage.If your looking to do as much damage to the oppoent you need to make sure you use it twice however this will remove your only escape as talon. Talon becomes invinsible when he uses this ult which mean you would have a few seconds to decide which direction and what you are going to do once the invins time is over.

Recommended Spells

• Ignite

This spell will help you secure your kill much easier especially in the recent patches there has been a lot of buff toward heal spell which is now very common for most squishy ap mid laner. Iginite will reduce the amount of heal spell by half.

• Flash

Flash is very useful for escaping and also securing kills. i usually save my flash for escape because talon has a blink as gap closer so he doesnt really need to flash to get to the enemy.

Talon pre 6 is strong but not as strong as after 6. If the enemy mid is rage you should try to harass with w but do not go all in unless its a certain kill because if you go all in and the enemy somehow survive your burst it is possible for his/her to kite you hard since talon doesnt have dash or anything. If the enemy mid is melee you can easily w and e/q into them as talon is ad and does a lot of auto attack damage. After 6 if you harass the enemy enough you should be able to e w q r to kill them with ease.

This is after you buy your mobility or brutilizer. To me the best way to play talon is to roam and gank other lanes as many times as possible because talon has great mobility and early damage for ganking. Do not leave your lane if your vsing a heavy pusher. After you get brutilizer, tiamat/hydra and last whisper you should be able to burst down a full health carry in one combo unless he/she builds tank item early which is very unlikely. Remember that talon falls off late game really hard so if your fed you need to try and end the game asap

Your goal should be bursting down the adc or apc. Remember do not initate with talon unless the enemy adc or apc is out of position where you can burst them down. Because of his high mobility talon can go and assassinate the carry that is split pushing and separate from the team. YOU CANNOT BURST DOWN THE TANK DO NOT TRY TO USE YOUR FULL COMBO ON THEM!

Early game it might be hard because she can harass you with her spell while u only have one blink. Try to harass with w as much as possible but do not go all in unless shes low because if you go all in and she manages to survive she will punish you hard. after 6 if you can do the combo fast enough she wont even be able to use her ulti to try and get away
