Guide to Synergizing Talon and Brand

Tips for Playing as Talon with Brand

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 Brand Will Play

You can use Brand's abilities in a variety of combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.

You can deter enemies from standing near their minions by setting them ablaze, due to Conflagration.

Pyroclasm bounces randomly between enemies, so try to cast it on a small group of enemies if you want to hit the same target multiple times.

Overall, Talon sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Brand. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This difference may demonstrate that Brand provides protection for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps increase the game's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Brand.

Moreover, when Talon plays with Brand on the same side, he on average takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Brand does a decent job of covering Talon during teamfights.

By being on the same team as Talon, he increases their win rate by 2.8% to 51.8%. This proves that there is pretty good synergy between Talon and Brand that allows them to perform better together than without each other.

Brand has a much lower diffuclty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be careful when lining up Brand allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, Talon players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Talon and Brand together, you will not be granting your team a great deal of protection for burst damage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Brand teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
