Introduction

Hey everyone, I just started to use Talon(As of 9/3/11) and I find him to be a really unique character. I would like state that this build is still very experimental. The point of this build is to get Talon to be very balanced, he will still do high damage and on crits he will just be unstoppable. The only problem I had with Talon when I played as him was if you don't get out of a fight ASAP you are dead, so I decided to try to give him a bit of a tanky aspect, but not so much that he can't deal damage anymore.

Runes

Alright, this section of the build is probably very subject to change because I don't have them yet, they are just what I would imagine would help the most.

Greater Mark of Desolation Alright these armor penetration reds will give you more intimidation early on.

Cool Down Reduction per level blues are going to make it so you have a bit faster skill usage which helps to both escape and to kill.

Basically you don't tank so these Dodge Yellows will give you a chance to avoid that fatal blow if you don't get out of combat in time.

Greater Quintessence of Vitality Everyone wants to live right? Well the point of these is to get you to have some more health because you really don't get a whole lot.

Most likely subject to change, I would VERY MUCH appreciate some suggestions from some of you, Runes tend to be my weak spot :).

Masteries

Alright, since you should have both and I find it very helpful to go own the offensive tree line then double back for some utility help. In addition is an offense hero therefore I think 21/0/9 is very useful.

Items (if you read anything you must read this part)

Alright this is probably the most complicated and important section. In my build there is an Item you get rid of, I will explain later in this section.

Your Basic boots to get you in and out of combat fast and effectively.

OK this item is going to be used to make a better item later on but for now it will make it so you aren't squishy in the beginning and don't die with ganks if you can't get away quick enough.

This item is also going to be used later on to make a better item but for now hopefully it will get you to do some decent amount of crits.

Alright your first full item, I prefer these boots on because I like to keep up the speed and with these boots his move speed is 415 which is faster than just about any other character.

Now this item is just kind of a filler item, I don't believe is an auto attack hero because he just can't live in combat for that long.

Now this item is important to know about, it is for early game CC defense you don't have to get this item if you don't want to, but if you don't get it then don't get either the or . This item will be sold latter on to purchase the .

This item I find helpful because it is great for farming, getting the buffs, and taking out minions attacking a tower.

This is going to be another item to help keep you in the fight, the life steal it gives is good for this point in the game.

Right after buying the sell your Cloack and Dagger to buy this item.

If you haven't sold your yet, sell it now because you will no longer need it. The critical strike this item gives becomes helpful when you are jumping in and out of combat and hitting your enemy once or twice.

Now this item is going to give you some extra health to stay in the battle and hit a few more times, in combination with your life steal you should be able to take down fleeing enemies without worrying to much about your Health.

This item is going to give you some better ability to chase those guys that retreat when you jump out of no where, the slow down becomes very useful.

Time to upgrade you that is really all this item is doing, upgrading an already great item.

This item is next on the agenda because you are going to need some damage now, and this item gives a lot.

Time to get some armor penetration, in a way. This item will reduce your enemies armor therefore your second hit on them will do a lot more damage.

I suggest this item next because it is the most expensive of the item you need to make you are not an auto attack guy therefore it doesn't serve to much of a purpose.

This is going to be great for dealing damage, you now deal magic damage equal to 4% of your enemies max Health, doesn't that sound good, now those tanks with a lot of armor and HP but no magic resistance are going to take a beating.

This item is going to be used to buy your next at a cheaper price.

Another item that is used to buy a third item at a lower price.

Your final item, if you have not won or lost by now then this will change the battlefield, this will really make you a tank to normal damage, the 99 extra armor along with cool down reduction is very useful to get into a fight and just dish out damage.

Skill Sequence

plain and simple your farming skill, get first to rack up the money you will need it.

Cutthroat Needs to be your second skill because it helps you get in and out of combat.

Is your champion killer use it as much in a fight as you can, a great combo is with a Cutthroat to hit an enemy champion for more than they are expecting.

This skill is great for sneaking into combat, and escaping out of combat in a dire situation. Remember the more you can hit someone with these blades the more the damage it does.

Summoner Spells

This is great for slowing down that AP carry you just jumped on because they had 500hp left, but it's also great for slowing down that AD carry that just came out of the bushes and started to hit you or your Lane partner.

You remember that AP carry that you just used exhaust on? well he just used so now's the time to use your exhaust to get him while he is running past the tower.

Not to Use:

Look you will not be jungling with this build, ganking but not jungling, so this skill will be of absolutely no use to you.

You are not meant to be a tank and hold a lane for 40 minutes without recalling, and this item doesn't heal enough late game to make the early game use helpful.

You will be fine on Mana so don't both with this skill.

Pros / Cons

Pros:
-You do a lot of damage.
-You are not as squishy as you would normally be.
-You are a great ganker.
-This build is expensive but you should be ganking and getting enough assists/kills to get everything

Cons:
-You are not a tank you will lose health
-You can not stay in a battle, nor focus on 5 enemies at once
-You are not Batman, so don't pretend to be a hero think about your fights.

Summary

So basically this build is going to be a greatly Balanced build and so you can do a lot with it.

Feel free to comment and tell me what you think I did right and wrong. I love feedback, but be reasonable and don't suggest something obviously stupid. Don't come at me either, I don't like people saying stuff like " This build is BS, you couldn't kill a fly without it's wings." be respectful I will have no problem with showing why your comment is stupid if you are rude to me.
