Hey Coldsong! I see the new Talon skin isn't in your tierlist yet and thought I would ask your opinion about it. Have you played it yet? Really good guide btw, I really appreciate you putting in this much work. Have a great day!

Hello! I do really like the aesthetic and model for the new Talon skin, and I think the theme is cool. However the effects feel rather clunky (especially the W), and the passive marks are in a weird order, which kind of ruins it for me. Would probably place it in B tier though. And thank you so much! It means a lot :)

After the nerfs to yonmus theres any chance i could spam the old phase rush build? with dusk instead of yonmus now? or is it bad? dusk is feeling good to me in other assassins that i play its my fav mythic

I think that especially with the buffs, the phase rush build with Duskblade is really really good. Personally I still think Ghostblade is very good even after the nerfs as it just went from OP to very decent, but Duskblade can also now be built as an alternative if you prefer that. Hope this helps :)

WOW!!!! This Guide is So AMAZING!!! I'm so happy that I can use this knowledge to improve my talon mechanics. I cant wait to E over a wall to 1 shot a squishy with my mechanical skill!!! Super fun champ. I'm gonna reach challenger with this top tier guide. 10/10 would recommend!!!!!

In All seriousness though. Its really well done and informative though even if I hate talon to his core. If u want to learn talon this guide is a good place to start. Keep up the good work. :)

Such a good guide, really easy to follow up. thank you :]

Dear Coldsong,

thank u very much for full and informative guide! I really got good combolist and bunch of helpful advices today!

I also have a question. I recently got stats: I have 60% to 80% wr with my budd playing Teemo.
He protits me so much. Diving poked toplaners, serving blade to shroomed ones, keeping ad/ap balance safe - Talon is not bad ft. Teemo.

How do you find this synergy? Do I miss the point? Who're best toplane teammates for assasin Talon?

"Lemar" ru serv.

Teemo is not bad at all with Talon! He has magic damage so that helps keep the team from being full attack damage, however if you do not have a tank it may be a little harder to carry since the lack of frontline, but I def think this combo is decent!

do you think duskblade is viable on talon? I'm asking because of the prowlers nerf, btw what do you think about manaflow band instead of nimbus? I know it sounds troll, but since I love to spam W in lane I go OOM so fast even if I have tear, plus since I get 250 extra mana my muramana deals more damage as well

I personally think Duskblade is not too bad on Talon, but the problem is that Talon is not really about getting resets, which is why I think Duskblade is outshined by both Prowler's (even after nerfs) and Eclipse.
I personally like Nimbus because of the mobility since it makes your chasing much easier, plus Manamune is not just for the mana. The AD it provides imo is too good to pass up. Hope this helps.

This build seems really strage for the first back, but i think it can work against a scaling ap champ on midlane. Thank you for the guide, i will try it

Tear first back is really nice, since it helps with Talon's mana problems. I personally like it since it is cheap and efficient and you will upgrade it later to Manamune after your mythic. Even though you lose out on some early AD since you are not getting a long sword, the extra amount of W's you can throw out is worth it, plus the AD you get once you upgrade Muramana is insane.

Looks real good and explained properly

Matchup section is the best I've seen in regards to talon builds. One suggestion is to outline the various combos that are possible, especially with prowlers
