Am I Building Talon Right?

4NoxiousHours··2 votes·811 views

Starter Item > item 2033 or item 3241 item 2003 x4

Building Path First > item 3074 with item 3117

Then item 3142

Basically item 2033 item 3117 item 3074 item 3142 item 3031 item 3072 item 3026

no?

Start long sword, it's better than corrupting potion.

You never finish hydra. It's way too much of a gold sink. Buy tiamat once you get 1250 gold, if you can't, just buy long swords and build the youmous first. Then buy swiftness boots or ionian, mobi boots are awful. After that go IE. Then buy cleaver or trinity force (depending on whether they have armor or if they're squishy). If they have CC go mercurial right after you get tiamat and ghostblade. If you're a pussy go guardian angle for your last item, or go bloodthirster.

Generally my final build looks like

Hydra, Youmous, Lucidity Boots, Cleaver, IE, mercurial. Then I sell boots for trinity force, and sometimes sell cleaver for BT if i know i'm going to get a clear shot at a squishy target.

U should consider long sword first, then rush a ghost blade, after Ghost blade build hydra, ALL of it. Then u Wana get black cleaver and a last whisper upgrade. Typically you Wana get cdr boots at ur convenience. And GA isn't bad since talon has no escapes.

Long sword or such a better starting item than corrupting potion. It allows you to get to your ghost blade component faster and lets you win trades easier. I don't seem to have too much mana problems with Talon either after the buff he has gotten, plus if you're running the mastery you definitely won't.

Start item 1036 item 2010x3 It's a lot better for early wave clear and lets you rush right into Youmuu's components.

You want Youmuu's before Ravenous almost always, then go for the tiamat and build for the situation. Personally, I'd stay away from item 3117 because they are crappy once you get into a fight, which leaves you stuck in the enemy team. item 3009 are far superior right now.

Talon is by far my favorite champion. I personally start corrupting potion most of the time due to the fact I poke a lot with W and run out of mana really quick.

If your in an ap matchup I like to go hexdrinker first, otherwise go Tiamat.

Second item go youmous. (Always build this)

Boots you can go merc treads or Ionian.

If you got hex drinker finish maw. (I say this because glass cannon is not the best option, expecially if your ult is down.)

Get black cleaver. (Again to stay away from glass cannon)

Finish the hydra. (Sustain)

Get a BT. (Sustain as well as tankiness)

If you didn't get hex drinker buy something like the red last whisper upgrade (Forgot the name)

I find this to be the best build path for Talon so that you can still 1 hit squishies, but are also not completely squishy yourself.

I DO NOT recommend building I.E. On Talon. It is simply not needed and leaves Talon too venerable.

This will be good build order. You are looking to delete the squishes not the tanks. Black Cleaver will help out with some burst vs tanks.

in my opinion:

start long sword, corruption pot is crappy for talon.

rush youmuus first

ie isnt good on talon anymore

mercurial cimintar is a devent replacement for bt.

I think you shouldn't get double lifesteal. It's kinda worthless. If you go for an IE build, you should get some crit otherwise, cause it's gonna be a bit risky (low critchance) You can think of Black Cleaver/Maw as well.
