Attack Damage:250
Crit %:25%

When facing Talon's top counters like Shyvana, Chogath, Amumu, 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 Lord Dominik's Regards or Serylda's Grudge 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 58.0% win rate across 956 matches, this build has proven highly effective in the current meta. The build's key strengths include exceptional physical damage output with 250 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 low health pool requiring careful positioning. With a total gold cost of 16,100, 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.

How does MetaBot determine what the best Talon builds are?

MetaBot only counts Talon games that reached a completed build (boots plus at least three finished items), groups them by their three core items, and ranks the groups by a confidence-adjusted win rate (Wilson lower bound) so a build with a handful of lucky games cannot outrank a well-played one. A build is only presented as the highest win rate once it has at least 50 games and a tenth of Talon's build sample; otherwise the most-played build is shown.
