Talon Wild Rift Build & Guide

First Strike is great to enable snowballing to Talon. You can be ahead of your opposing lane with the extra gold and damage when you strike or crowd control an enemy. On the other hand, Electrocute is also a great alternative for him if you need more burst damage. Scorch is essential to help him finish off enemies due to its damage over time.  Sudden Impact can inflict more damage when you slow an enemy, providing more firepower to Talon. Cheap Shot and Mark of the Weak also provide additional damage, essential for a burst-type champion like him. Eyeball Collector provides attack damage for Talon for every takedown, while the Sweet Tooth provides sustainability to him in the lane phase. Coup de Grace increases his damage to low-health enemies, which can help finish off fleeing enemies.

In our Talon Wild Rift Guide, here are the best champion spells that you can equip on him.

It is essential to have Flash as an assassin-type champion as another escape route for him. Also, you can catch enemies off-guard with it, having a swift target execution.

Ignite is also a great summoner spell for Talon, which helps execute fleeing champions.

Talon in Wild Rift can start by taking Rake for wave clearing and a little bit of poke. It is essential because Talon is a melee character and can be bullied significantly if he takes other abilities first. Then, he can level up his Noxian Diplomacy to help him deal damage while also closing the gap between him and the enemy. Next, take his Assassin’s Path as a third ability for efficient lane ganks. This ability is his bread and butter for being an agile mid-laner, which is essential for racking up kills across the map. Last, but certainly not least, his Shadow Assault. Talon must prioritize leveling this ability up as soon as possible. It can take down champions with its huge burst damage, especially for key targets.

Talon’s early game is quite powerful due to the amount of burst damage he has during this stage of the game. You can start by poking enemies with your W ability, Rake, to lower the HP of your opposing enemy. Then, you can do a surprise attack by vaulting above walls and doing a W and Q combo. Additionally, you can cast his ultimate, Shadow Assault, before vaulting to maximize damage to the enemy. Another mechanic is that you can use his Q not to gain distance, but to deal enormous damage. You can do this by casting ultimate to gain distance and close the gap with its mobility, then cast Q when near to catch enemies off-guard.

Talon can execute key targets swiftly in the late game, especially in team fights. Target isolation is key so don’t go all in by yourself. Instead, isolate crucial targets, such as marksmen and mages, to lessen the enemy’s firepower in team fights. With this, you’ll be a dangerous assassin who should be tracked constantly. However, you must be one step ahead with your Assassin’s Path to position yourself for a swift target execution.

For our Talon Wild Rift Guide, we highly recommend using him with the following champions as they synergize well with him.

Alistar is one of Talon’s favored support champions due to his high crowd-control abilities. Talon can do a free combo without chasing enemies off because they’re stunned and knocked up by this great support.

On the other hand, Gragas is also a great jungle champion to pair with Talon due to its crowd control. He can set up a crucial gank for Talon, enabling him to snowball against his opposing lane further.
