(S25.10) TALON COMPLETE GUIDE TOP/MID

By Gxshaaaa4
Who am I?
I am a talon otp who has played since season8 ( right after the talon rework). I have stayed true to talon for all these years and am currently masters. I have over 7 million mastery points on talon, and would consider myself rather knowledgeable on the champ.



These are a few examples of the over 10 accounts that I have to play talon on, not only in soloduo but normals as well. I have not only played lane talon, but talon jungle for thousands of games combined, all to get as much understanding of the champ and its limits.
General notes
When to go electrocute and when to go conq (builds and runes)??

Well the answer is simple, when there are 2-3 enemy champions that you can kill easily, you go for the electrocute and lethality build, if not go conqueror. YOu can also go conqueror if you know that enemy ADC / APC will build Hp items, zhonyas etc.

Build Notes:

Hubris scales very well into the late game, having high stacks on it can be more valuable than even 2 whole items sometimes. Since this scaling allows you to not fall off heavily late game, going bruiser items and helping your team in teamfights benefits you greatly.

Going the default full lethality assasin build as mentioned previously should be done when you know you can roll the enemy team and snowball consistently with oneshots.
Talon's identity
Strengths:

> Very high damage dealer, single target as well as AOE
> High threat and constant pressure due to his roams and stealth in R
> High early and midgame potential and threat, not too bad lategame
> A lot of variation in builds and runes as needed
> Very easy map movement and presence
> Fast waveclear
> Good at punishing overextended mages
> Amazing snowballer
> Solocarry and teamfight potential are both very high
> A lot of different combos

Weaknesses:

> Very squishy
> Reliant on ulti in most teamfights and when looking for picks if not insanely ahead in order to avoid most risks and deal the most dmg
> Very greedy playstyle and reliant on resources to keep snowballing and increasing huge lead.
> Exhaust + Zhonya and cc kill this champ
> Passive proc reliant for dmg
> Buggy E and overall kit
Assassin playstyle and tips:
Against mages:

When playing against mages, stand back lvl 1, do not be afraid to give cs to preserve HP, do not take any poke, safely farm with W. Your
#1 objective of every lane is to get a good reset in at lvl 4
lvl 2 you can be aggressive, q into a minion and W, but dont feel pressured to poke them, your fine just farming. If you lose exp from any way when your below level 4, stay an extra wave after recall at lvl 4, look at sides for roams and cheese kills, if you cant find solokills, look to roam and kill enemy jgler. If a mage pokes you and goes really aggressive, go all in lvl 2, never be scared to flash.


Against assassins:

Shove out first wave with W, no other assassin can contest you lvl 1
get lvl 2 first, if anyone tries to contest lvl 2 you can fight back
if someone disrespects your lvl 2 powerspike, dont be afraid to look for all in
around lvl 3 they will look for an all in or a trade, dont die to it!


Advice:

if you see enemy support in jg or toplane, on grubs or herald. go instantly kill enemy adc under tower, same works for top
every time you have R up, constantly look for plays
mid tower is most important thing on talon to open up the map
pretend to leave lane, and gank with own jgler
dont feel pressured to stomp early
mid game:
never ever group up midlane when its 3v3, and both midtowers are up.
midgame general thing is to get a sidelane tower and kill enemy mid
depending on how fed you are,
#1 you can push sidelane waves and kill enemy mid
#2 shove and look for kills elsewhere, especially supports or enemy toplaner
#3 straight up run it down mid and instantly flash on the adc if enemy mid tower is gone
#4 if you cant do any of the above, freeze bot if ur bot gets tower and goes mid, so u freeze botlane and force enemy mid to overextend.
funnel yourself with jungle camps
when you have everything up, always always look for a play on the map


Teamfights:

never group with your team, dont hit drake, baron or anything like that
you should instead predict where fights will be and get into position way before it even starts and assassinate people from angles they'd never expect you to be
find those picks before the fight begins
constantly force for it as soon as enemy isn't paying attention to you
talons range is short so come from the side before they even know you are there


lategame:

you play like a solocarry, walk alone and look for squishy champions to kill
catch squishies walking up to mid to catch the wave
insta flashing on adc
push out a sidelane and hide in jungle and wait for enemy midlaner to show up and killing them
if enemies are overextended, you are in position to go mid
patiently wait for an opening even if your whole team dies
sieging, never group with your team, if your team is sieging mid go play bot or top, flank midlane. when enemy sieging, never group with your team, stand to the side hiding waiting for enemies to go in so you can jump in and kill them


Important:

talon lategame, you should understand vision and how to sneak around the map where enemies cant see you
being able to track where every enemy is and coming up with a path to your target is what separates a good talon from a really really good talon
Combo Guide
Basic combow 2W -Q : use your W and wait for W back animation press Q and autoamtic auto for insta passive proc to trade in lane. Can be combod with q delay F + ign if 2 passive procs on them. Most common lvl 2 all in combo

Range Q-R-auto: reliant on you being very ahead and them being squishy since no Blades End proc

W- Range Q-R-auto: flower combo

W- Auto-Melee Q-R-auto

W-R-auto-Melee Q-auto: highest dmg combo

W-Flash-Q-R-auto: IMPORANT:NEVERFLASH THEN W, FIRST PRESS W AND FLASH IN THE ANIMATION

E-R-auto-Melee Q-auto : invis assasination combo

E-R-W-auto-Melee Q-auto: same as previous but with melee Q dmg + passive

E-R-W-Melee Q-auto: 0 reaction time, invis on their scren and then dead + passive

Teamfight combo- E-R-W-auto-MeleeQ-auto

Lurkz combo in teamfights for double kill-W-R-wait W comeback pn 1-2 targets for passive ready on them- auto one target save Q for next target for double bleed proc

Rakeless combo- Range Q-W-insta R in W animation-auto: saves time on running targets since they can F ur W and a lot less reaction time possible.
