Kindred vs Talon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's ranged dueling and high early game pressure to contest marks and river fights when nearby lanes have priority.
Prioritize mark access and objective control to leverage Kindred's strong scaling and ranged DPS for late-game impact.

Jungle Plan

Path around expected mark spawns and use lane priority to secure marks without sacrificing camp tempo.
Contest Scuttle Crab and river vision only when your lanes can pressure Talon or his laners to prevent counter-ganks.
Track Talon's early pathing and be ready to counter-gank his first pressure attempts, especially before Talon hits level 6.

Danger windows

Beware of Talon's level 2 all-in when he unlocks (Q)+(W) for burst and slow; avoid early river skirmishes without lane priority.
Talon's level 6 (R) grants stealth and burst; hold defensive cooldowns and avoid forced fights until it is expended.
Avoid low-health clears and forced smite fights where Talon's burst and mobility can punish you, especially if lanes lack priority.

Early game

Start with a clear path that secures early marks and sets vision before entering Talon's jungle to contest marks safely.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide support for river control.
Avoid forced early fights or invades when Talon has terrain mobility advantage and can roam quickly with (E).

Power spikes

Kindred spikes with early marks and item scaling; use these to pressure objectives and skirmishes.
Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo for burst trades and level 6 (R) stealth burst; avoid extended fights during these windows.
After Talon completes his first lethality item, tighten vision control and avoid isolated fights to mitigate his increased damage.

Win conditions

Convert lane priority into consistent mark control and objective setups, using ranged DPS and (R) to secure dragons and Rift Herald.
Use superior ranged dueling to kite Talon in river fights and punish his reliance on terrain for mobility.
Deny Talon free farm by contesting marks only when lanes can assist, then scale into a strong ranged carry that controls extended fights.
