- E (Assassin's Path) wall jumps for side lane roams — 1.5s cooldown per wall
- Combo R + W + Q burst then Q reset if melee Q landed
- Build Duskblade + Youmuu's Ghostblade + Edge of Night
- Roam mid → bot with wall jumps — map-wide pressure
- W (Rake) for poke + bleed — hits twice (going + returning)

- Buy Pink Ward to reveal R (Shadow Assault) invisibility
- Stay grouped — preys on isolated squishies
- Buy Zhonya's Hourglass or Stopwatch to survive the burst
- Mercury's Treads vs his Q (Noxian Diplomacy) bleed slow
- Don't walk side lanes alone — he roams fast off wall mobility

Abilities
Blade's End
Innate: Talon's ability hits against enemy champions and large monsters will apply a stack of Wound lasting 6 seconds, refreshing on basic attacks and subsequent hits and stacking up to 3 times. Talon's next basic attack against an enemy with maximum Wound stacks will consume them all to cause the target to bleed, dealingreduced to 90% damage against monsters. The target cannot gain Wound stacks during this time.
If an enemy champion is killed while bleeding, Talon gains icononly=true 35% bonus movement speed decaying over 2 seconds.
Noxian Diplomacy
Active: Talon dashes toward the target enemy, dealing physical damage upon arrival. If Noxian Diplomacy is cast within close range, he instead stabs the target to critically strike for , as well as gain 75 bonus attack range on his next basic attack within 1 second.
If this kills the target, Talon heal for 35 to 70 for 15% and the cooldown is reduced by 50%.
Noxian Diplomacy basic attack reset Talon's basic attack timer. Shadow Assault can be cast during the dash.
Rake
Assassin's Path
Shadow Assault
Active: Talon disperses a ring of blades around him that deals physical damage to enemies hit and lingers at maximum range for up to 2.5 seconds, during which he gains invisibility and bonus movement speed.
Shadow Assault can be recast after 1 second within the duration, and does so automatically after the duration or if Talon breaks stealth.
Recast: Talon breaks stealth and converges the blades to him, dealing the same physical damage to enemies hit. Breaking stealth with a basic attack or Noxian Diplomacy will converge the blades to the target instead.
