Guide to Synergizing Cho'Gath and Talon

Tips for Playing as Cho'Gath with Talon

Using Rupture on creeps in combination with Carnivore is a good way to gain Health and Mana.

If you're having difficulty feasting upon champions, try eating minions until you're larger.

Try to line up your attacks with Vorpal Spikes so that they kill minions and harass enemy champions at the same time.

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.
