Guide to Synergizing Caitlyn and Talon

Tips for Playing as Caitlyn with Talon

Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.

Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.

Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.

Advice to Understand How Talon Will Play

Shadow Assault is a powerful escape tool, but can also be offensively used to assault a group.

You can use Assassin's Path to get behind the enemy and set up for Noxian Diplomacy's melee attack.

Remember to pick your target before the fight. Focusing all of Talon's abilities on one target can be very rewarding, but splitting them up between many may leave you helpless.

Is Caitlyn better when played alongside Talon?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Caitlyn that will always be her #1 ally. However, overall, Talon is a very typical companion for Caitlyn. By locking into the same side as Caitlyn, he raises their win rate by 0.5% to 49.8%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong synergy between Caitlyn and Talon that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Talon has a greater difficulty than Caitlyn. That means Caitlyn players must be cautious when enlisting Talon comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by aligning Caitlyn and Talon together, you will not be providing your other allies very much magic damage. Plan to have other champs on your team that neutralizes this hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Talon ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
