  • Total attack damageAttack Damage:275
  • Total healthHealth:250
When facing Talon's top counters like Briar, Viego, Sejuani, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize armor items against AD-heavy counter picks or magic resistance items against AP threats in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Your core build provides strong damage output. Against tanky counter picks, consider penetration items or percentage-based damage from your situational options to maintain kill pressure. Adapt your final build slots with items like Axiom Arc or Edge of Night based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Talon performance.
physical damage dealerFirst Power Spike3,000gGustwalker Hatchling at 0:12 (median)

This Talon physical damage dealer build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends. With a 57.5% win rate across 612 matches, this build has proven highly effective in the current meta. The build's key strengths include exceptional physical damage output with 275 total attack damage from items. This Talon build offers flexibility and works well in most team compositions, providing a balance of damage and utility. Consider the enemy team composition when finalizing your situational items to maximize Talon's effectiveness. However, be aware that this build lacks defensive stats making Talon vulnerable to burst damage and no built-in sustain for extended fights. With a total gold cost of 15,550, this Talon build scales into the late game. Focus on farming efficiently and reaching your Voltaic Cyclosword, Umbral Glaive, and Bastionbreaker power spike before taking major fights. For optimal results with this Talon build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.
