Talon Tips and Tricks
- Noxian Diplomacy allows Talon to sustain health during camp clears since finishing a monster grants him some health and refunds a portion of the skills' cooldown.
- Talon has great jungle clearing capabilities due to his high, innate single target damage from bleeds and Noxian Diplomacy, as well as good AoE from Rake.
- Assassin's Path is possibly the best mobility skill available in the game. Proper use of this skill will make a Talon player very hard to catch, as well as allow him to avoid warded areas when he's headed to gank a lane.
- Shadow Assault grants Talon a boost of movement speed, don't be afraid to engage ganks with it as the bonus movement speed gives the enemy less time to react.
- Use Assassin's Path to freely invade the enemy's jungle to place deep wards and steal their camps.

Talon Jungle Pathing Guide
Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.
Full clear with a Raptor start
The recommended jungle path for Talon is a full clear starting at Raptors with Rake for a quick first camp. At level two unlock Noxian Diplomacy and clear Krugs, then Red Brambleback to reach level three. Choose either Assassin's Path if expecting an invade or potential kill, or upgrade Rake for faster jungle clearing. Continue with Wolves, Gromp and Blue Buff in this particular order, unlocking Assassin's Path if not already taken. Finish with Rift Scuttler, then gank a nearby lane or invade the enemy Raptors if they respawned already.
An alternative path is Raptors → Red Brambleback → Krugs into a level-three gank. This prioritizes early lane pressure and kill potential but at the risk of being invaded on your Blue Buff side.
