Introduction
Here are the masteries that we like to use on Talon
Explanation:
Contrary to what you might think, for Talon, we should be going 12/18 rather than 18/12 Why? This is because the keystone masteries in the ferocity tree aren't great on Talon, and the cunning tree actually has a decent amount of damage. Not to mention, Thunderlord's Decree and Stormraider's Surge synergize well with Talon
Wanderer 5 points in Wanderer is going to give Talon a lot of roaming potential, which is what he needs to do in order to snowball.
Secret Stash Unfortunately in Season 6, Crystalline Flask is no longer an option for Talon. This mean's we need biscuits to help us sustain in lane because the refillable potions for this season are NOT GOODI've found you can sustain fairly well in lane anyway.
Merciless Take all 5 points in Merciless, as extra damage is always good for Talon, and you'll be able to blow up squishies. This mastery helps you secure the kills you need, and assassinate low health targets quickly.
Dangerous Game Very useful for staying alive after killing off your targets. Also, you don't need ambient gold that comes from Bandit.
Intelligence Take this mastery over Precision because it's armor penetration isn't a lot, and you'll be wasting the magic penetration. Not a whole lot of offensive champions can use the increased CDR cap, but Talon can.
Thunderlord's Decree or Stormraider's Surge I prefer Thunderlord's Decree for the damage it provides, however Stormraider's Surge is viable. The thing is that a lot of times (especially late game) Talon acts as a Kamikaze/Suicide bomber. You go in an get the enemy ADC or APC, and you don't live to tell the tale. I'll leave it up to you based on your play style.
Sorcery Talon is an AD Caster and as such, he uses his abilities to deal most of his damage. He doesn't auto attack like and ADC. Remember Sorcery gives Ability Damage.
Double Edged Sword Simple enough, you need to add damage, and you're melee. Better than the sustain from Feast.
Vampirism The extra lifesteal is nice, but the main reason you take this is because Natural Talent is garbage. Especially on Talon, who's power is in the mid game, not the late game.
Oppressor Take Oppressor because Talon's kit has 2 slows, and it's essentially a second MercyPassive. The 1% per unique champion kill is not worth it, as you may not be able to kill the enemy tank, and Oppressor is going to deal more damage over the course of a game.

Talon doesn't have as much outplay as Yasuo, Zed, Fizz, Lee Sin, or Riven. However, he does have a few little tricks that can help you in 1v1 or 1v2 fights.
Talon's E Cutthroat is a quick blink, sort of like Shunpo, except it's limited by the fact that it can only be activated on neutral monsters, and enemy minions and champions. While it is a great gap closer to engage a champion, it can also work effectively as an escape or juke in the correct circumstance. Here are a few ways you can use your E to maximize your potential in fights.
