How to play 탈론
탈론 is a 1-cost 별돌보미 and 불한당 champion that usually plays as a frontline tank. Its main job is to stabilize the frontline and complete traits, so avoid leaving it as the only first target. 탈론 appears in Cards & Cartridges and Stellar Combo lines, so keep copies when those boards are open.

When to play 탈론
Consider playing around 탈론 when you hit early pairs or a fast two-star copy in Stage 2. For items, 피바라기 and 밤의 끝자락 are strong signals that 탈론 can stay on the board. For team direction, it fits naturally when you are already moving toward Cards & Cartridges and Stellar Combo. If it stays one-star, the traits do not activate, or the items point elsewhere, treat it as a transition unit instead of forcing the line.

Why these items work
피바라기, 밤의 끝자락 and 정의의 손길 are recommended. 피바라기 adds sustain and a low-health shield for extended melee fights, 밤의 끝자락 drops aggro once to protect a fragile melee carry and 정의의 손길 gives flexible damage and healing. The point of the setup is to keep it alive long enough to cast and hold the frontline.

Item alternatives
When the perfect setup is not available, use 스테락의 도전, 수은, 거인의 결의 and 마법공학 총검 as substitutes. For frontline substitutes, prioritize durability, sustain, and opening damage reduction without stealing every carry item. If 탈론 is only a trait slot, one useful item is enough and the premium items should go to your real carry or main tank.
timeline
Early, mid, and late game
Early: use 탈론 as a cheap stabilizer and 별돌보미 and 불한당 opener when you hit pairs or usable items. Mid game: chase three-star only if the copies come naturally; otherwise prepare to move premium items. Late game: keep it mainly as a trait piece unless it is upgraded and itemized.

Positioning tips
Place 탈론 in the first row on a side, or in the second row when it needs protection. It should enter combat quickly without eating every enemy attack at once. Its mana bar is short, so surviving lets it cast repeatedly.
