There you will not learn Talon mechanics but what to build and why.

Talon is super strong on the midlane right now due to mage nerfs and Noxian Diplomacy range bugfix.

So Talon is a must pick / ban in soloqueue.

Take Flash in every situation.

Take Ignite in every situation excepted against hard CC where you would pref a Cleanse (Notice that Cleanse doesnt work against Malz/Skarner ult)

Typical.

Go for Scorch instead of Celerity if you intend to cheese the First Blood.

Go for Relentless Hunter instead of Ultimate Hunter if you intend to roam a lot.

Go for Zombie Ward instead of Eyeball Collection if you intend to dominate the vision (plus you get extra bonus damage for taking a ward ; worth it for damage only along early game while Eyeball Collection isnt stacked)

The most important stats on Talon are cooldown reduction , Lethality , attack damage and Movement Speed.

Duskblade of Draktharr : Must have because it gives you a not negligible extra bonus damage during your burst and above all it grants you the capacity to know where you are seen or not by ennemies so it opens a lot of windows for your assassinations.

Youmuu's Ghostblade : Must have too because it gives you a LOT of mobility.

Black Cleaver : Scales very well with Blade's End , helps a lot to shred tanks , gives a huge amount of cooldown reduction and health that makes you more resistant.

Edge of Night : Gives you more windows to apply your burst while going on a hyper carry during a fight.

Guardian Angel : Must have for late game team fights.

Lord Dominik's Regards : Must have ; Take it when there is no reason to take Mortal Reminder.

Mortal Reminder : Must have against high healing (Vlad / Soraka / Mundo / Trundle . . .)

Tiamat : Allows you to outpush almost every midlane champion during laning phase. Upgrade it to Ravenous Hydra later in the game.

Hexdrinker : Must have to counter AP Carries's burst. Like Tiamat upgrade it to Maw of Malmortius later in the game.

Quicksilver Sash : Very strong again hard CC and must have against Skarner / Malzahar.

Mobility Boots : Same as Youmuu's Ghostblade.

Ninja Tabi : Must have while you are toplane against a bruiser / Must have against full AD compositions.

Mercury's Treads : Must have against hard CC.

Farming is quite easy because its a melee champion.

Use your Noxian Diplomacy to sustain while last hitting.

Pros :
- Insane single target burst from the beginning of the game
- Very good engage and escape
- Destroy well tanks with Blade's End coupled with a Black Cleaver
- Not bad sustain

Cons :
- Very weak in team fight while Shadow Assault is on cd
- A bit too much ultimate dependent
- Loses easily the oneshot capacity against Ninja Tabi , Guardian Angel and Zhonya's Hourglass

Talon is a very good champion overall to climb with so do not hesitate to onetrick him.
