Guide to Synergizing Talon and Irelia

Tips for Playing as Talon with Irelia

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 Irelia Will Play

Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.

Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.

Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.

By being on the same side as Talon, she raises their win rate by 0.2% to 49.2%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Talon and Irelia that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.

Irelia has a lower difficulty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be cautious when lining up Irelia allies to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Fighting alongside, Talon players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Regardless of your Irelia ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
