Playing as Talon

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Three spells, then an auto

    Apply three Blade's End (passive) stacks by hitting with your spells, then strike with an auto: the target starts bleeding and takes heavy damage over time.

  2. Use Noxian Diplomacy up close

    Cast Noxian Diplomacy (Q) in melee range when you can: instead of the leap, it lands a critical strike. If it kills, it heals you and comes back faster.

  3. Bring your blades back on your target

    During Shadow Assault (R), break invisibility with an auto or Noxian Diplomacy (Q): the blades then converge on your target instead of coming back to you.

  4. Push, then roam over the walls

    Push your wave, then roam by vaulting walls with Assassin's Path (E): the spell comes back fast, but you can only cross the same wall again after a long delay.

Playing against Rengar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from brush

    Stay away from brush in lane: from a brush, Unseen Predator (passive) lets him leap onto you with a single auto.

  2. Trade when his Ferocity is low

    Take a trade when his Ferocity is low: at max, his next spell is empowered, and Bola Strike (E) roots you instead of slowing you.

  3. Group up when he's hunting you

    Move closer to your allies as soon as an indicator appears over your head: Rengar is hunting you, camouflaged, with Thrill of the Hunt (R).
