Darius vs Talon

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Leverage Darius's strong early dueling to control jungle tempo and deny Talon's roaming potential.
Prioritize vision and river control to limit Talon's terrain mobility and stealth threats.

Jungle Plan

Path to counter-jungle when Talon is spotted on opposite side or after his early clears.
Contest Scuttle only if lane priority supports it; otherwise focus on safe farming and dragon setup.
Track Talon's first gank attempts and coordinate counter-ganks with laners to punish his roam reliance.

Danger windows

Early level 3 invades are risky without lane priority or vision control.
Isolated river fights are dangerous due to Talon's mobility and stealth; avoid without vision and lane support.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near dragon can be punished by Talon's burst and roam pressure.

Early game

Full clear to level 3 quickly, then prepare for river contest or invade only with lane priority.
Avoid early river fights without nearby lane priority to prevent Talon's easy escapes.
Secure first Scuttle when nearby lanes can assist to deny Talon's vision and roaming paths.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks execute and reset, enabling lethal extended fights; stack passive before committing.
First bruiser item completion boosts durability and damage, allowing longer skirmishes and objective control.
Respect Talon's level 2 combo; avoid overextending before this point to prevent burst trades.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into dragon and Rift Herald control when Talon is forced to roam or reset.
Use superior dueling and crowd control to punish Talon during his cooldowns and limit his map pressure.
Maintain vision and lane priority to enable counter-ganks and deny Talon's snowball through kills or scaling denial.
