Hwei vs Talon

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a long-range control mage who must use poke and E spellbook CC to keep Talon at bay and prevent his all-in attempts.
Prioritize lane pressure to deny Talon safe scaling and avoid giving him roam opportunities with wave control.

Trading pattern

Control space with long-range Q poke and hold E CC defensively to disrupt Talon's all-in attempts.
Punish Talon's Talon Q dash cooldown by stepping forward for short trades when it's down.
Force Talon to farm under turret by denying him wave control and dodging Talon W return damage.

Danger windows

Talon's all-in threat peaks when Talon R is available; maintain distance and keep E CC ready.
Talon is dangerous when his Talon Q dash is up; respect this cooldown to avoid burst trades.
Be wary of Talon's roam attempts after he pushes; hard push wave to punish and deny map pressure.

Early game

Use your full spellbook at level 3 to maximize poke, shield, and CC options for lane dominance.
Keep Talon visible and punish his wave pushes by controlling space with Q and E CC.
Avoid extended trades if you chose the wrong E spell; stay ready to switch defensive E to counter Talon's engage.

Power spikes

Respect Talon's level 2 power spike with Talon Q plus W pressure; avoid risky trades before level 3.
Your major spikes are level 3 for full spellbook utility, level 6 for R all-in, and first mage item completion.
Talon's level 6 Talon R burst and stealth increase his kill threat; play cautiously around this spike.

Win conditions

Use long-range poke and E CC to zone Talon and set up your level 6 R all-in for kill pressure.
Deny Talon wave control to keep him farming under turret and reduce his roam impact.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Talon from safely accessing flank angles and roaming opportunities.
