TALON

The Blade's Shadow

JungleCWR51.1%

Talon is the knife in the darkness, a merciless killer able to strike without warning and escape before any alarm is raised. He carved out a dangerous reputation on the brutal streets of Noxus, where he was forced to fight, kill, and steal to survive. Adopted by the notorious Du Couteau family, he now plies his deadly trade at the empire's command, assassinating enemy leaders, captains, and heroes… as well as any Noxian foolish enough to earn the scorn of their masters.

Skills

BLADE'S ENDPassive

Talon's abilities apply a stack of Wound to enemy champions and large monsters hit for 6 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. Damaging the same target again resets Wound duration. When Talon attacks a target with 3 stacks of Wound, all Wound stacks are consumed to send the target into a bleeding state, dealing 100 (based on level) (+210% bonus AD) physical damage over 2 seconds. Monsters are dealt 90% of this damage. The target will not gain Wound stacks during this period. If an enemy champion is killed while bleeding, Talon gains bonus Movement Speed that decays over 2 seconds.

NOXIAN DIPLOMACYSkill 1

Long-range cast: Dashes toward an enemy champion, dealing 75 (+100% bonus AD) physical damage. Close-range cast: Stabs the target, dealing 113 (+150% bonus AD) physical damage. If this ability kills the target, Talon restores 35 (based on level) Health, and the ability's cooldown is reduced by 65%. The higher Talon's Armor Penetration is, the faster the dash and cast speed of this ability will be. Damage from close-range casts scales with Critical Strike Damage.

RAKESkill 2

Tosses daggers in a cone at the target area, dealing 40 (+50% bonus AD) physical damage to enemies hit. Upon reaching maximum range, the daggers linger for 0.75 seconds before returning, dealing 60 (+100% bonus AD) physical damage to enemies hit along the way and slowing them by 40% for 1 second. Deals 80% damage to monsters.

ASSASSIN'S PATHSkill 3

Vaults over the terrain or structure closest to him. Talon cannot vault over the same terrain within 135 seconds of his last vault over it (cooldown per terrain decreases with Ability Haste).

SHADOW ASSAULTUltimate

First Cast: Flings out a ring of blades around himself, dealing 90 (+110% bonus AD) physical damage to nearby enemies and gaining invisibility and 40% bonus Movement Speed for up to 2.5 seconds. How to recast: Tap the ability 1 second after the first cast to recast. The ability will automatically be cast again when invisibility expires or is disabled. Recast: Exits invisibility and recalls the blades, dealing 90 (+110% bonus AD) physical damage again to enemies hit along the way. Using attacks or Noxian Diplomacy to exit invisibility causes the blades to converge toward the target enemy instead.

The combos in the tables below, grouped by shape; not a ranking or a verdict. Each item goes to the family its stats are worth the most gold in, and a shape is how many of the 3 core items fall in each family. Effects (passives) are not counted, and items without stats are left out. Runes are grouped by keystone and the most common tree among the rest. The icons show the most common combo of each shape. A shape at 10% or more counts as a pattern; shapes under 3% get no card. Less common item families are families whose items appear in under 10% of the Chinese combos but do show up in overseas guides or streamer and pro builds. Their icons are separate item options seen in those sources, not one build. Families are listed by how many sources they appear in.

Assumptions

Combat only: 50%

Effects that only work in combat or under a condition are counted as active half the time. The same rule applies to every rune and spell.

At most once per 8s

Effects that re-trigger on attacks are counted at most once every 8 seconds, since a single fight only allows so many procs.

Skill ranks from level

A champion's ability values depend on rank, so rank is derived from level. The ultimate ranks up at levels 5 / 9 / 13. Remaining points go to abilities 1 → 2 → 3 in turn (1 / 0 / 0 at level 1, 4 / 4 / 4 at level 15). Which ability to max first is a judgement call, so every champion uses the same order. Abilities with a different number of ranks (such as Jayce's 5) follow the same rule, raising the lowest-ranked ability one point at a time; an ability learned from level 1 starts at rank 1.

Survival factor

Moving faster by some % is counted as that % more effective health, since speed lets you dodge and escape. Value = median max health × the speed gain × the health price.

Move speed % as flat

Move speed % is converted to flat move speed against the median base speed of 350, then priced at the flat rate.

Champion median

Values that depend on the champion, such as health, use the median of all champions at level 1 and level 15.
