NOXIAN DIPLOMACYRAKEASSASSIN'S PATHSHADOW ASSAULT
Talon is the knife in the darkness, a merciless killer able to strike without warning and escape before any alarm is raised. He carved out a dangerous reputation on the brutal streets of Noxus, where he was forced to fight, kill, and steal to survive. Adopted by the notorious Du Couteau family, he now plies his deadly trade at the empire's command, assassinating enemy leaders, captains, and heroes… as well as any Noxian foolish enough to earn the scorn of their masters.

Mid Item Build & Spells
TIPS: Start your build with 
Long Sword. Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.
SUMMONER SPELLS
Ignites target enemy champion, dealing 72 true damage (72–380 
) over 5 and applying 60% Grievous Wounds for the duration.Grievous Wound reduces the effectiveness of Healing and Regeneration effects.
Cooldown: 100s
START

CORE
Increases Movement Speed +55 Attack Damage
+15 Armor Penetration
+15 Ability Haste
+4% Move SpeedMomentum: 3 second(s) after leaving champion combat, gain 30 Move Speed (20 for ranged champions).
2900Youmuu's Ghostblade TIPS: This item combines high Attack Damage, Armor Penetration, and Ability Haste with increased mobility. Outside of combat with enemy champions, it grants additional Movement Speed, allowing you to rotate around the map faster, find better positions, and close the distance to targets. An excellent choice for assassins and other AD champions who value high burst damage and mobility.
Attack Damage, Armor Pen +15 Attack Damage +10 Armor Penetration +45 Move Speed 1200Boots of Dynamism TIPS: These boots increase your physical damage by providing bonus Attack Damage and armor penetration. They are especially effective during the early stages of the game, allowing you to cut through enemy defenses and win trades more easily. They are an excellent choice for marksmen, assassins, and fighters looking to maximize their damage output and eliminate enemies more efficiently.
Attacks deal bonus damage +55 Attack Damage +10 Ability HasteRazor:
+18 Armor Penetration.Nightstalker: The first attack against a champion deals 60-160 bonus physical damage and slows them by 99% for 0.35s (10s cooldown). Champion takedowns refresh cooldown.
3000Duskblade of Draktharr TIPS: This item is a pure assassin tool: it boosts your armor penetration and makes your first strike on an enemy deal a deadly burst with a brief slow. Securing a takedown grants stealth and a fast reposition window, letting you escape or continue hunting—perfect for single-target picks. It shines on mobile killers who focus on quick executions and roams; it’s less effective against bulky, high-HP frontliners.BOOTS

They are especially effective during the early stages of the game, allowing you to cut through enemy defenses and win trades more easily. They are an excellent choice for marksmen, assassins, and fighters looking to maximize their damage output and eliminate enemies more efficiently.
Gain out-of-combat Movement Speed +25 Attack Damage +12 Armor Penetration +6% Armor Penetration +45 Move SpeedCloudwalker: Gain 20 out-of combat Move Speed.
2200Armorcrusher Boots TIPS: These boots greatly increase your physical damage by providing bonus Attack Damage along with both flat and percentage armor penetration. The additional out-of-combat movement speed allows you to rotate around the map faster, chase enemies more effectively, and respond to fights more quickly. They are an excellent choice for marksmen, assassins, and fighters who value high mobility and maximum damage against armored targets.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Youmuu's Ghostblade (Increases Movement Speed) as your first item, followed by Boots of Dynamism (Grants Attack Damage and Armor Penetration) (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Duskblade of Draktharr (Attacks deal bonus damage).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Armorcrusher Boots (Gain out-of-combat Movement Speed).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

It provides a large health pool and armor while reducing damage from critical strikes, making you much tougher in head-on engagements. When you are critically struck, you gain stacks that boost your movement and slow resistance, helping you hold position and control fight spacing. — Perfect for tanks and bruisers who need to stand up to high-crit auto-attackers and survive extended teamfights.

2850Thornmail TIPS: This item reflects a portion of incoming physical damage back to attackers as magic damage and applies an effect that reduces enemy healing effectiveness. A strong pick versus teams with heavy auto-attack damage and sustain — ideal for tanks and bruisers who need to absorb focus and cut down opponent healing.

+70 Armor
+4% Movement Speed
Momentum: Moving builds Momentum, granting up to 40 Move Speed at 100 stacks. Attacking removes all Momentum. Stacks decay when movement is impaired.

Crushing Blow: Attacks deal up to 100 bonus magic damage based on Momentum removed. Melee attacks with max Momentum slows by 75% for 1 second.
2800Dead Man's Plate TIPS: This item provides a substantial boost to health and armor, and its “Momentum” passive builds movement speed as you move—up to a cap—until you land an attack, which then triggers “Crushing Blow”, dealing bonus magic damage based on the momentum removed and slowing enemies at full stacks. This makes it an excellent choice for tanks and bruisers who need extra mobility to engage quickly and sustain through fights. Tips: ideal for champions who need to close distance and absorb damage; pairs extremely well with Spellblade items (e.g., Divine Sunderer) for additional burst damage on engage.
Reduces enemy Attack Speed
+80 Armor
+400 Max Mana
+20 Ability Haste
Winter's Caress: Reduce the Attack Speed of enemy champions within 650 units of you by 25%.

Attacks create a slowing field
+300 Max Health
+50 Armor
+250 Max Mana
+30 Ability Haste
Spellblade: Using an ability causes your next attack within 10 seconds to deal bonus physical damage equal to (100% base AD + 25% Bonus Armor ) in an area and creates an icy field for 2 seconds that slows by 30%. Armor increases the size of the icy field. (1.5s Cooldown)

3000Iceborn Gauntlet TIPS: This item greatly boosts your health, armor, mana, and ability haste, making you much tankier. After casting an ability, your next attack in an area deals bonus physical damage and creates an icy field that slows enemies inside by 30%. The field’s size scales with your armor. This makes the item a great choice for champions who want to combine high survivability with crowd control and extra AOE damage.
Slows enemies nearby after a short dash
+400 Max Health

CHAMPION GUIDE / JUNGLE PATH
TALON Jungle Path
Explore TALON jungle clear routes, camp orders and pathing tips for Wild Rift.
01 / JUNGLE CLEAR / PATHING
full clear with a Blue Buff start
GANK
GANKThe Talon Jungle Path is a full camp clear with a start on the Blue Buff. Most high elo players have been doing this pathing and so far it has proven to be very successful. Talon players start killing the Blue Sentinel with (W) RAKE unlocked at level one. The level two spell is going to be (Q) NOXIAN DIPLOMACY which grants Talon a lot more single target damage, allowing him to clear the Gromp and Murk Wolves with ease. Killing these grants the Talon player level three, unlocking (E) ASSASSIN'S PATH and allowing him to jump over walls to get to jungle monsters much quicker. The goal is to kill Raptors, Red Buff and Krugs which will grant Talon level four— upgrading (W) RAKE for more AoE damage! Talon has quick jungle clear speed. Talon player is able to arrive to the river Scuttler just in time for it to spawn. Clearing the Scuttler allows Talon to rotate into a gank onto one of connected lanes or invade the enemy's jungle to gain an even higher xp and gold advantage.
Talon is currently among the easiest junglers in the game (initial clear-wise) and he gets to the river just in time for Scuttler which not many junglers can do if they full clear.
