Guide to Synergizing Talon and Rek'Sai

Tips for Playing as Talon with Rek'Sai

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 Rek'Sai Will Play

Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.

Cast Burrow before travelling around the map to take advantage of the increased Move Speed and the safety provided by Tremor Sense.

Tremor Sense can warn you of enemies closing in, and is particularly useful when entering enemy territory.

How to Play with Rek'Sai as Talon in LoL

The Talon Rek'Sai synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Rek'Sai, 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 large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Rek'Sai. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Rek'Sai helps Talon perform poorer in competitive LoL matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Talon is an ally to Rek'Sai, he sees a little drop in his complete damage dealt. This may indicate that Rek'Sai does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Talon is played together with Rek'Sai on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Rek'Sai. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Rek'Sai.

Additionally, when Talon plays with Rek'Sai on the same side, he often takes less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Rek'Sai does a decent job of covering Talon during team fights.

Is Talon better when played alongside Rek'Sai?

There is no ideal ally for Talon that will no matter what be his best synergy. Yet, Rek'Sai is a not very good companion for Talon. By playing on the same team as Talon, he lowers their win rate by -1.1% to 47.9%. This signals that there is a negative strategic relationship between Talon and Rek'Sai that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Rek'Sai has a much lower diffuclty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Rek'Sai allies to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting alongside, Talon players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by aligning Talon and Rek'Sai together, you probably will not be granting your side enough magical damage output. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Rek'Sai teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
