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
검의 최후탈론이 챔피언이나 대형 몬스터에게 스킬을 사용하면 최대 3회까지 중첩되는 상처가 남습니다. 상처가 3회 중첩된 챔피언에게 기본 공격을 가하면 출혈을 일으켜 일정 시간 동안 큰 피해를 입힙니다.
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
녹서스식 외교탈론이 대상 유닛을 찌릅니다. 근접 공격이 가능한 거리에서 사용하면 치명타가 적용됩니다. 근접 공격이 불가능한 거리에서 사용하면 대상에게 도약해서 찌릅니다. 이 스킬로 대상을 처치하면 체력을 약간 회복하고 재사용 대기시간을 일부 돌려받습니다.
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
갈퀴손탈론이 부메랑 단검을 여러 개 던져 명중하는 적에게 물리 피해를 줍니다. 단검이 다시 돌아올 때 맞은 적은 추가 피해를 입고 둔화됩니다.
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
암살자의 길탈론이 구조물이나 지형 위로 일정 거리를 도약해 넘습니다. 이 스킬 자체는 재사용 대기시간이 짧지만 한 번 넘은 지형은 상당 시간 동안 다시 넘을 수 없습니다.
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
그림자 공격탈론이 사방에 검을 던지면서 투명 상태가 되며 추가 이동 속도를 얻습니다. 투명 상태가 풀리면 검이 다시 탈론이 있는 곳으로 모여듭니다. 검이 움직일 때마다, 한 개 이상의 검에 맞은 적은 그림자 공격으로 물리 피해를 입습니다.
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.
