Guide to Synergizing Talon and Malzahar
Tips for Playing as Talon with Malzahar
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.

Wait to cast Void Swarm until there are nearby enemies for the Voidling to attack or kill.
Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies.
