Guide to Synergizing Talon and Briar

Tips for Playing as Talon with Briar

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.

How to Play with Briar as Talon in LoL

The Talon Briar synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Briar, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Talon sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Briar. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Briar helps Talon perform poorer in ranked League rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Talon tries to synergize with Briar, he sees a barely noticable drop in his full damage dealt. This difference may indicate that Briar does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that their presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Talon is played alongside Briar on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Briar.

Additionally, when Talon plays with Briar on the same side, he usually takes less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Briar does a decent job of protecting Talon during team fights.

Is Talon better when played alongside Briar?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Talon that will 100% of the time be his ideal synergy. However, overall, Briar is a very typical teammate for Talon. By locking into the same team as Talon, they decreases their win rate by -0.5% to 48.5%. This signals that there is not really a strong bond between Talon and Briar that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Briar has a much lower diffuclty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be cautious when arranging Briar comrades to play with, as they will require a much lower level of skill to play well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by aligning Talon and Briar together, you will not be granting your other teammates a lot of magical damage output. We recommend you include other champions on your team that nullifies this hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Briar ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
