Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight by placing W boxes near the scuttle pit before Talon arrives, baiting him into walking through them while you Q behind him to proc the fear and burst him down.
From level 6, you win 1v1 by using Q to reposition behind Talon mid-combo, forcing him to reorient while your R clone deals damage and creates confusion, but if Talon lands his full E-W-Q combo before you can Q out, you will die regardless of your clone.

Talon will typically clear Red > Raptors > Blue or a full clear depending on side, looking to hit level 3 fast and contest scuttle or invade your jungle.
He will prioritize early skirmishes and mid-lane proximity since his E lets him traverse terrain quickly, so expect him to appear in mid-river fights frequently.

You should not straight invade Talon's jungle in a direct fight, but you can use Q to sneak into his jungle and place W boxes near his camps to zone him or force bad clears.
If you catch him between camps without his E available, a Q ambush into W box fear can kill him, but this requires vision and timing — a failed invade against Talon's burst at close range is a death.

Do not use your Q purely as an escape tool when Talon is already on top of you — his E resets on kills and his W passive bleed means he can still burst you even through a clone if your health is low.
Relying solely on your R clone to confuse him at low health is unreliable because experienced Talon players will target the clone that bleeds.
