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
  血塗られし慈悲

  タロンのスキルは敵チャンピオンまたは大型モンスターに3回までスタックする「傷」を付与する。「傷」のスタックが3つになった敵チャンピオンに通常攻撃を行うと、そのチャンピオンは出血して継続的に大ダメージを受ける。

  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
  ノクサスの刃

  タロンが対象を突き刺す。近接攻撃の射程内であれば、この攻撃はクリティカルダメージを与える。近接攻撃の射程外であれば、対象までジャンプしてから突き刺す。このスキルで対象を倒すと体力の一部が回復し、クールダウンの一部が解消する。

  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
  飛燕手裏剣

  ブーメランのように戻ってくる刃を同時に複数投げる。刃は往路と復路で敵を貫通するたびに物理ダメージを与える。復路で刃が敵ユニットに命中すると、追加ダメージと短時間のスロウ効果を与える。

  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
  暗殺者の跳躍

  タロンはどんな地形や建造物も最大距離まで飛び越えられる。このスキルのクールダウンは短いが、飛び越えた地形や建造物に対しては長いクールダウンに入る。

  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
  シャドウアサルト

  複数の刃を全方向に投げ、インビジブル状態になって移動速度が増加する。インビジブル状態が解除されると、投げた刃がタロンのいる地点に一斉に戻ってくる。飛んでいった時と戻ってきた時のそれぞれで、刃が命中した敵に物理ダメージを与える。

  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.
