Guide to Synergizing Talon and Vel'Koz

Tips for Playing as Talon with Vel'Koz

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 Vel'Koz Will Play

Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.

Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.

When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

Is Talon better when played alongside Vel'Koz?

There is no perfect synergy for Talon that will always be his best ally. However, overall, Vel'Koz is a very typical teammate for Talon. By being on the same side as Talon, he drops their win rate by -0.9% to 48.1%. This proves that there is a weak bond between Talon and Vel'Koz that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Vel'Koz has a greater difficulty than Talon. That means Talon players need to be very careful when lining up Vel'Koz teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Talon players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by grouping Talon and Vel'Koz together, you may not be granting your other allies very much cover. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Vel'Koz ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
