Triforce. This item is INSANE on talon. He wants that mana, that HP, that little attack speed, but no items can give that. But triforce. I've been building it first in a lot of talon games now, it is just an incredible item. All the stats compliment him, not to mention ALL his abilities (even E!) proc sheen, and rage fits nicely with him. After triforce, proceed to go with your regular AD assassin stuff and you'll be unstoppable.
Yea, I'm aware of it, but i still prefer cleaver personally for the MS whenever I deal Physical damage. I would like it better if it still had the Crit on it from Zeal so i could use my old Crit build for Talon.
If you are going for expensive items, better get IE...
Bump :-: I'm lonely
I've heard scarra mention Triforce being a potential good item on Talon. Haven't tried it in a game though, but I have a really strong feeling that this is one of those things that sound good on paper, but isn't really as practical as some other items. Here's why
If you aren't ahead you're going to be sitting on those Triforce components for a really long time and that will just kill your damage potential sooo much. Sheen is ok, but you'd probably die before you are able to abuse that proc anymore than 2 times. This makes triforce super reliant on you snowballing. If you fall behind in-lane building triforce, you're going to be useless for a very long time
Sheen + Stinger give NO AD. So yeah you might get a little atk spd, situationally good, or sheen proc, can't proc it enough to be reliable in killing a target. All of your abilities, especially passive, suffer across the board until you finish that Triforce spike.
They lowered Talon's mana costs anyway, so if you aren't spamming your abilities everytime they're off CD, you shouldn't have mana problems, at least not as bad as old talon
Talon's bases aren't as high as they used to be, so if you don't find a way to power farm or get kills while building it, you're damage is suffering.
Lastly, there are just better and cheaper options. The new lethality items give him everything he needs, especially the out of combat ms. Cleaver is like 1k cheaper, gives the same rage passive, same CD, same HP. The difference is you trade the extra raw AD + armor shred for a sheen proc and some atk spd + mana. As an AD assassin, i would much rather prefer the Raw ad + % armor shred.
However, i'd like to see a top lane talon build that does include triforce.
