Laning against Pantheon is never fun, you cannot engage while his Shield is up, I would shove and roam or work with your jungle for this matchup.

Talon, The Blades Shadow Hi, my name is Voxol, welcome to my Talon guide. I am currently a 100k total Mastry Talon in the OCE server. If you are looking for a very indepth Talon guide from a top level player then check out some of the guides above mine, this guide is aimed at sharing my experiences with Talon This is my go to ranked build which I have found massive success with it and I believe it is better then the standard Tiamat build so I encourage you to give it a go and test it for yourself. For those wanting to try out Jungle Talon then personally I would recommend just picking up Kha'Zix for the Jungle as he feels a lot more natural there with healthier clears still, Talon is definitely now viable but I feel like Kha'Zix offers much more overall apart from ganks than Talon does. Massive thanks to Yami for his incredible Talon guide which inspired me to main him and to jhoijhoi's insane format guide. |
+ Mobility and Burst Talon has insane burst potential in all stages of the game with enough mobility to pick ganking paths around warding locations. |
+ Decent Lane Matchups Talon has a decent lane into almost all mid matchups, with enough practice on talon even the hard matchups such as Orianna, Syndra, ect can be managed. |
- Prone to dying Talon's main weakness is that he is an assassin, he struggles to kill bruisers or tanks, can fall behind easily and with champions such as Vi or Lulu on the enemy team you can never go in to pick off a carry without sacrificing yourself. Talons weakness can be his strength. |
Talons main core items are Youmuu's Ghostblade, Duskblade of Draktharr and Edge of Night these three items give talon the mobility, survivibility and damage he needs early to mid game, consider upgrading you boots to either Ninja Tabi Mercury's Treads or Boots of Swiftness |
|
Black Cleaver Black Cleaver is generally your last item, you can buy this inplace of a Last Whisper item if you need the extra CDR and Health. |
|
Guardian Angel Guardian Angel is a great 4th item you can use to help deter the enemy from engaging on you, it also allows for your cooldowns to come back up but be aware you are very vulnerable after the revive passive. |
|
Mortal Reminder Mortal Reminder is a situational item that you can buy if the enemy squishies are stacking armor such as Guardian Angel or Zhonya's Hourglass with Ninja Tabi. |
|
Lord dominik's regards Lord Dominik's Regards is only bought under the same conditions as Mortal Reminder but they have no healing or lifesteal, dont buy both items. |
|
Hexdrinker Hexdrinker is a great buy into AP burst champions such as Fizz, Syndra and LeBlanc, it is not worth upgrading this into a Maw of Malmortius as Talon has better items to build. |
|
Quicksilver sash Quicksilver Sash is great into any heavy cc comps where Mercury's Treads are not enough or when there is a Mordekaiser, Skarner, or Malzahar,on the enemy team as Quicksilver Sash negates there ulties. |
|
Executioners Calling Executioner's Calling is a great cheap item you can pick up early to deal with champions that love there healing, especially Vladimir Soraka Katarina Sylas and similar champions. |
