Playing as Talon
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Sejuani
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her charge
Dodge Arctic Assault (Q) to the side: enemies it passes through take a knock-up, and the charge stops on the first champion hit.
- Leave before her second swing
Get out of range before the second swing of Winter's Wrath (W): it deals most of the damage and slows.
- Watch her melee allies too
With Frost stacks on you, watch out for her melee allies too: their autos apply them, and at 4, Permafrost (E) stuns you.
- Don't be first in her bola's path
Don't be the first champion in the path of Glacial Prison (R): that champion is stunned, longer if the bola comes from far away.
