Best combo with Talon?

I'm interested in Talon so I was wondering what the best combo is. His E amplifies all damage, so I guess it's better to open with E before burning any cooldowns. What comes next? I guess you can't land an AA in that .25 second slow, so you won't proc your passive there, and using Q then would waste an AA, so what to do here? E>AA>Q+AA>W or E>W>AA>Q+AA, is holding on to your W until enemy starts running more benificial?

Standard Combo: E - W - R - R - Q - AA Standard Trade (Against Ranged): E - W - Q -Good strategy to win trades against ranged champions is to E to a minion in the upcoming wave, using W to hit the enemy laner, and then back up before they can return damage. Standard Trade (Against Melee): W - AA - Q Combo for Chasing A Target: R - E - W - Q - R - AA -Same combo for trading with ranged champions cam be used for chasing, E to an upcoming minions that an enemy champ is running past and W to finish them or to slow them and have your team catch up.

I guess some advice would be to practice your standard combo extensively, as it will familiarize yourself with most of his other combos and they'll flow better. Along with this, remember that your Q is an auto-attack reset and E doesn't always need to be used on an enemy champion and can be used on enemy minions or monsters as a gap closer or escape.

That's all I can think of off of the top of my head while tired, hope it helps.

Hey man!! i used to play a lot of talon and there are few different things you want to do when you jump in as talon. Yours short combo is when you E AA Q. Really quick trading combo. Why i didnt say use your W, is because you should be using your W to farm and poke, but you can throw it in there at the end of the trading combo or before. Your all in combo is very similar it is R E AA Q, same thing with the W on the end if it is up.

uhh these are the combos I personally use

Laning: You should almost never be trading in lane...you'll lose more trades than win unless you have R

Stealth kill: Ghostblade active + R + E + AA + Q +W +tiamat

Standard assassination: E + AA + Q + W + R + tiamat + ignite (this closes your R immediately)

if you're looking for highest dmg, it's E>W>R>AA>Q>AA>hydra>aa

no likely to get that full thing off, though.

Well, personally I tweaked the common burst style a bit, and it works wonders for me. Here's the basic seed of it without usage of items, E>Q>W>R>ignite, now sometimes I gotta do a different combination for different situations or if the mid starts to learn the pattern of my burst. This burst looks wrong and etc. but it's more strong than you think, it's fast and the thing with using your R last is that if the enemies start coming at you and your target is very low, you can pop it thus killing the target most likely and escaping without an issue a lot of times. Now for those of you who use the E>W>R>Q combo and etc. live with it! I'm feeling nice and I'll tell you my other basic combos I personally use: W>E>Q>R>Ignite (Use this if your opponent is avoiding you by a distance and you mange to land your W, your E range I think is longer than your W. Catch them off guard a bit.) Q>E>W>R>ignite>item 3074 (This is my more close combat burst combo in case of I have to go head to head auto range, and yes it works!) R>E>W>Q (I use this for more chasing or gap closing situations, just know if your summoner 4 isn't up, you're at risk of getting ambushed by an enemy after you kill your target, so judge wisely, I also use this most commonly in team fights.) E>W>auto>R>Q>Ignite>auto (My more powerful burst, I use this first at the beginning when I get to 6 so I can either make them recall or die, if they die, I start mixing up my burst combos so I become less predictable.) item 3142>R>E>auto>W>Q>item 3074>ignite (I'm getting into my more advanced bursts as you can see, but I use this for a more faster gap closer) item 3142>E>auto>Q>item 3074>W>R (My prime burst method I use today, it's fast and I can escape if I need to at the end) I DO have more, but I've said enough, hope these helped and these are my OWN styles. Try experimenting and create your own personal burst. P.S Don't judge these! As I said these are my OWN styes I use, they fit me and I like them!
