RP Cost: 975 RP | Release Date: May 14, 2014
Talon, the Blade's Shadow, is a deadly assassin in the popular online game League of Legends. Known for his swift and precise strikes, Talon is a formidable champion on the Summoner's Rift. With his SSW Talon skin, he takes on a new look inspired by the legendary team, Samsung White, who emerged victorious in the 2014 League of Legends World Championship.
The SSW Talon skin offers players a chance to embody the spirit of the championship-winning team. Clad in sleek white and blue attire, Talon's appearance is reminiscent of the Samsung White team's iconic colors. The skin features a new model for Talon, complete with unique animations and visual effects that enhance the overall experience of playing as this deadly assassin.
One of the standout features of the SSW Talon skin is the new recall animation. When Talon recalls, he is enveloped in a swirling vortex of blue energy, adding a touch of elegance and style to his gameplay. Additionally, the skin includes new sound effects that further immerse players in the world of Talon and the Samsung White team.
As a champion, Talon possesses a rich backstory within the League of Legends universe. Hailing from Noxus, a powerful and ruthless empire, Talon was taken in by the infamous Du Couteau family. Under the tutelage of General Du Couteau, Talon honed his skills as an assassin, becoming one of the most feared and respected blades in Noxus.
Talon's strengths lie in his ability to swiftly eliminate high-priority targets. With his passive ability, 'Mercy,' Talon deals bonus damage to enemies who are immobilized or slowed. His Q ability, 'Noxian Diplomacy,' allows him to strike with his blade, dealing significant damage and leaving a bleeding wound on his target. Talon's W ability, 'Rake,' allows him to throw out a volley of blades, damaging and slowing enemies in its path.
One of Talon's signature abilities is his E ability, 'Cutthroat.' With this skill, Talon dashes to a target, silencing them and dealing damage. This ability not only allows him to close the gap between himself and his target but also sets up his ultimate ability, 'Shadow Assault.' Talon's ultimate sends out blades in a circle around him, damaging and revealing all enemies hit. He can then reactivate the ability to teleport to one of the blades, making it an excellent tool for engaging or escaping fights.
In the game, Talon is often played in the mid lane or as a roaming assassin. His high burst damage and mobility make him a threat to squishy targets, and his ability to quickly eliminate key enemies can turn the tide of team fights. However, Talon is relatively squishy himself and lacks sustained damage, making him vulnerable to crowd control and tanky opponents.
With the SSW Talon skin, players can not only enjoy the visual enhancements but also pay homage to the incredible achievements of the Samsung White team. The skin serves as a reminder of their dominance in the 2014 World Championship and allows players to relive those glorious moments on the battlefield.

Lore:
Talon is the knife in the darkness, a merciless killer able to strike without warning and escape before any alarm is raised. He carved out a dangerous reputation on the brutal streets of Noxus, where he was forced to fight, kill, and steal to survive. Adopted by the notorious Du Couteau family, he now plies his deadly trade at the empire's command, assassinating enemy leaders, captains, and heroes… as well as any Noxian foolish enough to earn the scorn of their masters.
Ally tips:
You can use Assassin's Path to get behind the enemy and set up for Noxian Diplomacy's melee attack. Shadow Assault is a powerful escape tool, but can also be offensively used to assault a group. 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.
Enemy tips:
Talon's attacks are all physical damage. Build armor early to counter his burst damage.Talon is heavily reliant on Shadow Assault to escape a fight. When it is down he's significantly more vulnerable.Talon has unrivaled roaming ability. Make sure to keep track of his position or force him to stay in lane by pushing aggressively.
