Guide to Synergizing Zac and Talon

Tips for Playing as Zac with Talon

Picking up goo chunks is very important to staying alive.

When Cell Division is ready, try to die in a position that makes it difficult for the enemy team to kill your bloblets.

Charging Elastic Slingshot from the fog of war will give opponents less time to react.

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.

This signals that there is not really a strong bond between Zac and Talon that results in them performing at the top of their game together than without each other.

When playing together, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
