Guide to Synergizing Zoe and Talon

Tips for Playing as Zoe with Talon

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.

Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.

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.

How to Play with Talon as Zoe in LoL

The Zoe Talon synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Talon, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Zoe sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Talon. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Talon helps Zoe perform not as well in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zoe plays on the same team as Talon, she gets a barely noticable drop in her complete damage output. This difference could signal that Talon does not support by providing cover for her to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Zoe is played with Talon on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Talon.

Additionally, when Zoe plays with Talon on the same side, she often receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Talon does a poor job of covering Zoe during team fights.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Talon?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Zoe that will always be her ideal ally. However, Talon is a very typical teammate for Zoe. By playing on the same side as Zoe, he drops their win rate by -0.8% to 46.2%. This proves that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Zoe and Talon that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Talon has a greater difficulty than Zoe. That means you must be careful when arranging Talon comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by grouping Zoe and Talon together, you may not be granting your other teammates a lot of support. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that offsets this hole in their potential.

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