Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Talon's burst and your lack of sustain stacks, but you can start winning post-6 with R execution potential.
- Focus on surviving the early laning phase rather than forcing trades.
How to Trade
- Your best trading is short Q pokes when Talon uses abilities on minions, then pool away from his W-Q combo attempts.
- Save empowered Q for when he commits to trades, as the healing and damage can turn fights.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on last-hitting under tower while building sustain stacks.
- Once you have items and levels, you can start controlling waves with Q spam and E positioning.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W pool defensively against poke - save it for when Talon commits with Q dash or jungle ganks.
- Using pool for minor damage avoidance leaves you vulnerable to his real kill attempts.
