Introduction
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.
''The three deadliest blademasters in all of Valoran are bound to the house of Du Couteau: my father, myself, and Talon. Challenge us, if you dare.''
Abilities
Passive: Blade's End
Talon's abilities wound champions and epic monsters for a short duration, stacking up to three times. When Talon basic attacks a fully wounded target, they bleed for 75-245 (at levels 1-11) (+2.0 per bonus attack damage) physical damage over 2 seconds.
Noxian Diplomacy (Q)
Range: 575
Cooldown: 8 / 7.5 / 7 / 6.5 / 5
Mana Cost: 40
Talon leaps to a target, dealing 65 / 90 / 115 / 140 / 165 +1.0 bonus attack damage. If cast within melee range, Talon does not leap but instead critically strikes his target for 150%. Whenever Noxian Diplomacy kills a unit, Talon restores 10-71 health (by champion level) and refunds 50% of its cooldown.
Rake (W)
Range: 900
Cooldown: 9
Mana Cost: 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75
Talon sends out a volley of daggers in a cone that return after a short delay. The initial hit deals 45 / 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 (+0.4 per bonus attack damage). The return hit deals 45 / 65 / 85 / 105 / 125 (+0.7 per bonus attack damage), and slows for 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60%.
Assassin's Path (E)
Cooldown: 2
Mana Cost: 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55
Talon vaults over the nearest structure or terrain in a target direction. The vault's speed is affected by Talon's movement speed. Talon cannot vault over the same section of terrain for 160 / 135 / 110 / 85 / 60 seconds.
Shadow Assault (R)
Range: 500
Cooldown: 100 / 80 / 60
Mana Cost: 100
Talon disperses a ring of blades outwards and gains stealth for up to 2.5 seconds while gaining 40% movement speed. When Talon emerges from stealth, the blades converge on his location. Each time a blade passes through an enemy, they take 80 / 120 / 160 (+1.0 per bonus attack damage) physical damage. Each enemy can only be damaged once at the start of the ability and once at the end.
The blades can be redirected to the target of Talon's first basic attack.
