Tips for Playing as Talon with Karma
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 Karma Will Play
Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.
Gathering Fire rewards aggressive play. Look to land abilities and basic attacks on your opponent to lower Mantra's cooldown and stay on the offensive.
When using Focused Resolve, slow your opponents with Inner Flame or speed yourself up with Inspire if you're having trouble sticking to a target.

This change may indicate that Karma supports by providing cover for him to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Talon is played together with Karma on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Karma. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Karma.
Moreover, when Talon plays with Karma on the same side, he typically receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Karma does a poor job of covering Talon during teamfights.

By playing on the same side as Talon, she drops their win rate by -0.6% to 48.4%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Talon and Karma that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Karma has a lower difficulty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be careful when finding Karma comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.
Working on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by aligning Talon and Karma together, you probably will not be giving your side enough crowd control. Make sure to have other champions on your team that nullifies this hole in their kit.
Regardless of your Karma ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
