Guide to Synergizing Talon and Lucian

Tips for Playing as Talon with Lucian

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.

Advice to Understand How Lucian Will Play

For optimal burst, try to combine Relentless Pursuit into Piercing Light.

Ardent Blaze actually explodes in a star pattern. Try to line it up so the spokes hit enemy champions.

Because of Lightslinger, Lucian benefits more from Attack Damage than he does from Attack Speed.

Once you have chosen an angle for The Culling, you cannot change it. Pick your moment well!

Overall, Talon sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lucian. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This change may indicate that Lucian does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Talon is played together with Lucian on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Lucian.

Moreover, when Talon plays with Lucian on the same team, he typically receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Lucian does a poor job of covering Talon during teamfights.

Is Talon better when played alongside Lucian?

There is no perfect companion for Talon that will no matter what be his ideal synergy. However, Lucian is a relatively poor companion for Talon. By playing on the same side as Talon, he drops their win rate by -1.7% to 47.3%. This proves that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Talon and Lucian that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Lucian has a lower difficulty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be careful when finding Lucian comrades to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Talon and Lucian together, you will not be granting your other teammates much magic damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Lucian teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
