Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 when Talon can land clean W-Q combos, but you win post-6 all-ins with your R armor penetration and shield reset.
- Your power spike comes with completed items when you can duel him in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to E through minions to dodge his W, then Q-auto-E away before he can Q you in melee range.
- Stack your Q tornado through minions and look for E-Q-R all-ins when he wastes W or E cooldowns.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze to keep minions available for your E mobility while denying Talon easy roam timings.
- Avoid hard shoving as it removes your escape options and gives him free recall windows to impact other lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight him in open areas of the lane without minions nearby as you lose all your mobility and kiting potential.
- Getting caught without E targets against an assassin with gap closers and execution damage will result in your death even with your passive shield.
