> These are my usual builds for Talon. Like most assassins I prioritize damage over survivability first. I hardly ever build an Infinity Edge for Talon because the lategame practically REQUIRES survivability but the Last Whisper/Black Cleaver - Bloodthirster combo pretty much gives me all the damage I need plus if I manage a Frozen Mallet the damage is increased further because of his passive. Even further if I choose an Atma's Impaler over the Thornmail.
