Philosophy and Talents
Where Nova uses stealth to gank heroes, Talon uses his mobility. His ability to fly over terrain is vital to contesting turn-ins and harassing undefended towers. He must rely on his ability to fly over impassible terrain to escape as he receives no speed increase in flight mode.
His talents would focus on either increasing his speed, damage (aka gathering storm) or durability.
