Guide
I pick Acrobatics first, because it deals more damage than Peck, is easier to use, and offers mobility. It can jump over the fence to start attacking the Lillipup sooner.
Fly is just a broken, overtuned move right now, and it's always been my preferred choice due to its overall flexibility. It also gives you a boosted attack after using it. Flame Charge just hits hard while being great mobility, and allows you to disengage after using Fly.
Your main damage combo is Fly, boosted attack, Aerial Ace, boosted attack. You can burst down targets pretty reliably with this combo.
Razor Claw is there to slow down targets and add big chunks of extra damage during your combos, making them more reliable. Slowing down enemies also helps support your team if you're the one engaging fights.
Since Talonflame is the most mobile character in the game, Score Shield is a great fit due to how often you'll find opportunities to score. Dumping your points after a jungle rotation gives you more experience points, helps break goals, and makes it so that you're not hoarding points throughout the game or leaving them in your jungle in case enemies invade.
Talonflame's Unite Move can be spammed due it having the lowest Unite cooldown in the game by a mile, so you can use your Buddy Barrier shields to supplement the Score Shield, and score larger amounts more easily throughout the game.
Buddy Barrier is there since your Unite Move charge is incredibly fast, so you can have it available at almost every major fight, as well as the aforementioned Score Shield synergy. It also helps prevent your Unite Move from being canceled by dying.
Eject Button is there since you can make really cool plays with both Fly and your Unite Move. It allows Fly to hit targets easier, allows you to cross large walls near the center fountain area easier, and allows you to flash through walls during your Unite Move, preventing walls from stopping it in more scenarios.
Works Well With
Wigglytuff helps hold your frontline together, and Sing stopping enemies + lowering their defenses helps your burst damage combos a lot.
You are one of the squishier characters, so Eldegoss helps your survivability, and helps with engaging fights more.
Pikachu helps clean up targets from range after you land Fly. Thunderbolt keeps enemies stunned to make Fly easier to land as well.
