As a hard Talon main, there are four overall uses for Talon's ultimate.

1: Escape, lategame, with some CDR, it has a 33 second cooldown, don't be afraid to use it to run away, or even on minions if you REALLY need to stop a wave.

2: Engage, use this method primarily if you A: Have Mobis and Youmuus up, B: If you really need to get on someone fast, and/or C: You need help engaging through the enemy team. Note: This reduces your burst damage, but not significantly enough to deny a kill unless you're somewhat starved of gold. Don't bother with this earlygame, you don't have the damage.

3: To add fast burst. This is effective if you KNOW you can escape, or if you really need to deal as much damage to the enemy as fast as possible and someone else can clean up the fight for you. Essentially, E-AA-Q then W/Rav/R at the same time for maximum upfront burst, the animations for all of those abilities can be canceled by eachother, so utilize that.

4: As an escape. ONLY use this if you can easily burst someone down, the same combo as above: E-AA-Q then W/Rav, but DO NOT ult until you know you won't cancel it on your own, then simply use it to escape. Again, this is only useful if you don't need both parts of your ult to kill someone, in which case you don't really need your ult to kill them anyways, use AA once.
