Guide to Synergizing Talon and Zeri

Tips for Playing as Talon with Zeri

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.

Is Talon better when played alongside Zeri?

There is no one best synergy for Talon that will 100% of the time be his ideal synergy. Yet, Zeri is a terrible ally for Talon. By being on the same side as Talon, they decreases their win rate by -5.0% to 44.0%. This proves that there is an easy to overcome and exploit synergy between Talon and Zeri that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Zeri has a lower difficulty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be very careful when lining up Zeri allies to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to work well with you.

Working on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by pairing Talon and Zeri together, you may not be granting your side enough magic damage. Plan to bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Zeri ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
