Talon Skills

Passive

Blade's End

Talon's abilities apply a stack of Wound to enemy champions and large monsters hit for 6 second(s), stacking up to 3 time(s). Damaging the same target again resets Wound duration.
When Talon attacks a target with 3 stack(s) of Wound, all Wound stacks are consumed to send the target into a bleeding state, dealing 100 physical damage (100(Lv) + 210% bonus AD) over 2 second(s). Monsters are dealt 90% of this damage.
The target will not gain Wound stacks during this period.
If an enemy champion is killed while bleeding, Talon gains bonus Movement Speed that decays over 2 second(s).

Skill 1

Noxian Diplomacy

⏳ 7s

Long-range cast: Dashes toward an enemy champion, dealing 75 physical damage (75 + 100% bonus AD).
Close-range cast: Stabs the target, dealing 113 physical damage (113 + 150% bonus AD).
If this ability kills the target, Talon restores 35 HP (Lv), and the ability's cooldown is reduced by 65%.
The higher AR Pen is, the faster the dash and cast speed of this ability will be.
Damage from close-range casts scales with Critical Strike Damage.

Rake

⏳ 8s

Tosses daggers in a cone at the target area, dealing 40 physical damage (40 + 50% bonus AD) to enemies hit.
Upon reaching maximum range, the daggers linger for 0.75 second(s) before returning, dealing 60 physical damage (60 + 100% bonus AD) to enemies hit along the way and slowing them by 40% for 1 second(s).
Deals 80% damage to monsters.

Cooldown	135	110	85	60

Ult

Shadow Assault

⏳ 65s

First Cast: Flings out a ring of blades around himself, dealing 90 physical damage (90 + 110% bonus AD) to nearby enemies and gaining invisibility and 40% bonus Movement Speed for up to 2.5 second(s).
How to recast: Tap the ability 1 second(s) after the first cast to recast. The ability will automatically be cast again when invisibility expires or is disabled.
Recast: Exits invisibility and recalls the blades, dealing 90 physical damage (90 + 110% bonus AD) again to enemies hit along the way.
Using attacks or Noxian Diplomacy to exit invisibility causes the blades to converge toward the target enemy instead.

Talon Strengths

✓Strong roaming and escapes from jumping walls with Skill 3
✓Burst that kills an enemy carry in an instant
✓Hard-to-read ambushes using the stealth from Ult

Talon Weaknesses

×Teamfight impact fades the longer the game goes
×Damage struggles to get through tanks and bruisers
×Mobility drops sharply while the wall jump is on cooldown

Early Game

The level 2 all-in (Skill 2 into Skill 1 into auto-attack) is a combo that often secures First Blood. Poke with Skill 2 to build the passive's Wound stacks. Keep up kill pressure to restrict what your opponent can do.

Mid Game

Use Skill 3 wall jumps to move around the map and pick up kills roaming to side lanes and the enemy jungle. Choose gank paths that avoid enemy vision. Striking before the enemy can react is Talon's job.

Late Game

Once the enemy starts grouping, solo assassinations get harder. Split push to pull their attention, and catch anyone out of position during their rotations. This is the phase to shake the map with assassin macro.

Teamfights

Do not run into a teamfight head-on. Jump a wall to reach their backline from out of vision and kill their carry with Ult and passive burst. After the kill, use your mobility to get out; surviving is part of the play.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Reusing the same wall jump route and getting caught

Skill 3's wall jump is Talon's best tool, but each wall you jump goes on a long cooldown. Trying to escape over the wall you just used, failing, and dying there is the classic mistake. Plan ganks and assassinations so the way in and the way out use different walls. From level 5, pair the Ult stealth with your mobility to kill the ADC and get back to safety.

Talon Patch History

TalonPatch 7.1b

Buff

Rake 1st phase damage: 35/45/55/65 + 45% Bonus AD → 40/50/60/70 + 50% Bonus AD Damage to jungle monsters: 70% → 80% The first phase gains 5 damage at every rank plus 5% bonus AD ratio, steadying Talon's early trades. Rake is one of the few tools he has that works from a distance, so more damage there makes setting up a commit easier. The jungle modifier also climbs from 70% to 80%, speeding up his clear. It is a straightforward buff that helps his farming and his ganks in equal measure.
