How to beat Talon

Common role: Mid / Jungle

A roaming assassin who parkours the map and one-shots squishies.

What makes Talon dangerous

Talon opens with a rake (W) bleed, closes with a jumping Q for bonus damage, and vaults over walls with his passive to gank and roam constantly. His ultimate goes invisible and detonates blades for lethal burst. Left alone he snowballs the whole map.

How to play against Talon

• 1Ward your flanks and river — his wall-hops mean ganks come from anywhere.
• 2Buy an early armor item or Seeker's/Cloth — his combo is all physical burst.
• 3Don't walk up low: he needs the full W→Q combo, so deny him the jump range.
• 4Track his roams and ping mid — a Talon who can't snowball falls off hard.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Falls off in the late game versus tanks and grouped teams.
• ✓No escape when his E is on cooldown — collapse and kill him.
• ✓Very gankable; a well-warded lane shuts his roams down.
• ✓Struggles into armor and any peel for the carry.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Talon's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Final de la hoja

  Los hechizos de Talon provocan una herida a los campeones y monstruos gigantes, que puede acumularse hasta 3 veces. Cuando Talon ataca a un objetivo con 3 heridas, este sufre una hemorragia que le causa daño prolongado.

  Strong: three bleed stacks trigger a big execute, rewarding his full combo. Weak: needs the whole W→Q combo to stack — deny one hit and the execute falls short.

• Q
  Diplomacia noxiana

  Talon apuñala al objetivo. Si este se encuentra al alcance de sus golpes cuerpo a cuerpo, el ataque es un golpe crítico. Si no, Talon se abalanza sobre él antes de apuñalarlo. Si consigue acabar con el objetivo, recupera algo de vida y reduce el enfriamiento de la habilidad.

  Strong: a gap-closing strike with bonus damage up close. Weak: has a fixed jump range — stay spaced so he can't reach with the empowered hit.

• W
  Rastrillar

  Talon lanza una andanada de dagas que luego vuelven a él y causan daño físico cada vez que pasan a través de un enemigo. Al volver, las dagas infligen daño adicional y ralentizan a las unidades alcanzadas.

  Strong: a fan of blades that applies bleed and slows on the return. Weak: skillshot with a gap in the middle — sidestep the return blades.

• E
  Camino del asesino

  Talon salta sobre cualquier obstáculo o estructura hasta una distancia máxima. Esta habilidad tiene poco tiempo de enfriamiento, pero no podrá volver a utilizarla en la misma zona durante un buen rato.

  Strong: vaults over any wall for unmatched roam and gank pressure. Weak: short cooldown but a fixed one — catch him when it's down.

• R
  Asalto de sombra

  Talon esparce un anillo de hojas, se hace invisible y consigue velocidad de movimiento adicional. Cuando se hace visible de nuevo, las hojas convergen sobre él. Cada vez que se mueven las hojas, Asalto de sombra inflige daño físico a los enemigos alcanzados al menos por una de ellas.

  Strong: goes invisible and rains blades for lethal burst. Weak: control wards and pings track him; the blades take time to return — react and Zhonya/QSS.

Itemization

Armor and health shut down his burst: Plated Steelcaps, Seeker's Armguard into Zhonya's, Randuin's. Grouping with a peel support neutralizes his picks.
