Guide to Synergizing Vladimir and Talon

Tips for Playing as Vladimir with Talon

Transfusion instantly deals damage to the enemy before healing Vladimir, making it one of the best last hitting tools in the game.

Cast Hemoplague where it will afflict the most units.

Sanguine Pool pops incoming missiles, so it can be used to dodge disables.

Advice to Understand How Talon Will Play

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.
