Tips for Playing as Pyke with Talon
The Tap version of Bone Skewer is much faster and deals additional damage.
A lot of your agressive spells are also your escapes. Make sure you always have a plan to get out of the fight.
Hitting an enemy with the Hold version of Bone Skewer will always pull them the same distance. Use it in melee range to throw targets behind you.
Pyke is very fragile so don't be afraid to temporarily run from a fight. You can regenerate a significant amount of health from Gift of the Drowned Ones when enemies can't see you.
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.

Fighting on the same side, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
In contrast, by pairing Pyke and Talon together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much magical damage output. We recommend you include other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in their potential.
Regardless of your Talon ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
