Guide to Synergizing Talon and Nautilus

Tips for Playing as Talon with Nautilus

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 Nautilus Will Play

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

Is Talon better when played alongside Nautilus?

There is no ideal ally for Talon that will 100% of the time be his best ally. However, Nautilus is a below average teammate for Talon. By locking into the same team as Talon, he drops their win rate by -1.6% to 47.4%. This signals that there is a bad strategic relationship between Talon and Nautilus that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Nautilus has a lower difficulty than Talon. That means you don't need to be cautious when arranging Nautilus allies to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to do well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Talon players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by aligning Talon and Nautilus together, you will not be granting your team a lot of magical damage output. Plan to have other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Nautilus ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
