Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight against Talon by activating your W shield before he lands his E, then using your Q to stick to him and trading continuously — Talon's burst is front-loaded and if your shield absorbs the initial damage, your sustained damage and healing from your W will outlast him.
From level 6, you win 1v1s by building Sunfire and Steelcaps early, forcing extended fights where your passive stacks and W sustain outscale his burst window, especially after he has used his combo and is waiting on cooldowns.

Talon will likely start Red Buff, clear Raptors, then Wolves or Blue, and look to contest scuttle at level 3 — he clears relatively fast but not as efficiently as you, so he may arrive at scuttle slightly after you.
He may also look to invade your second or third camp if he knows your path, so be aware of your positioning when low on health mid-clear.

You should invade Talon's jungle if you start on the opposite side of the map from him, targeting his second buff or Raptors around 3:15–3:30 when he is likely low — your W sustain means you can fight him at partial health and still win, whereas he needs near-full health to execute his burst combo effectively.
Avoid deep invades post-level 6 unless you have a clear health advantage, as his R mobility makes escaping or repositioning difficult to punish.

Do not let Talon engage on his own terms — if he lands his E on you before your W shield is active, he can chunk you significantly and disengage before you can retaliate, which is the primary way he wins trades against you.
Always pre-activate your W when you see him approaching rather than reacting after his E lands.
