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
  刀锋之末

  泰隆的技能会创伤英雄和大型野怪，可叠加3层。当泰隆用普攻攻击一个带有3层创伤效果的目标时，目标会流血，受到重度的持续伤害。

  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
  诺克萨斯式外交

  泰隆戳刺目标单位。如果目标在近战距离之内，那么这次攻击会造成致命伤害。如果目标在近战距离之外，那么泰隆将会跃向他的目标然后戳刺目标。如果这个技能击杀了泰隆的目标，那么就会返还给泰隆一些生命值和冷却时间。

  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
  斩草除根

  泰隆放出一排匕首，随后匕首会返回泰隆处，匕首每次穿过敌人时都会造成物理伤害。返程的匕首会造成额外伤害并使被命中的目标减速。

  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
  刺客之道

  泰隆翻越任何地形或建筑物，有一个最大距离。这个技能的冷却时间很短，但是需要很长一段时间后才能再次翻越已经翻越过的地形。

  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
  暗影突袭

  泰隆散出一圈刀刃并变为隐形状态，同时获得额外移动速度。当泰隆从隐形状态下现身时，刀刃会汇聚向泰隆处。刀刃的每段移动，都会让暗影突袭对被至少一枚刀刃命中的敌人造成物理伤害。

  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.
