Lissandra vs Talon

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Lissandra is a control mage aiming to punish Talon when he commits into her W range and to lock him down with R for gank or teamfight setup.
She must manage wave control to deny Talon safe all-in windows and prevent him from roaming freely.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Talon enters W range to root and follow up with Q slow.
Punish Talon's Talon Q cooldown as he dashes towards you, but respect Talon's Talon R stealth burst at level 6.
Use E plus R only when you have reliable ally follow-up or a clear lockdown target to avoid overextending.

Danger windows

Talon is dangerous when Talon R is available due to stealth and burst potential.
Talon E mobility allows him to roam or reposition, so punish him by hard pushing and taking plates when he leaves.
Avoid engaging without R available as Talon can all-in harder during this cooldown window.

Early game

Use Q to farm safely and keep the wave controlled, avoiding extended trades before level 6.
Hold W to root Talon when he tries to engage within melee range, especially when Talon uses Talon Q to dash in.
Avoid using E aggressively without follow-up to prevent being punished by Talon's burst or roam potential.

Power spikes

Lissandra's major power spike is level 6 with R for lockdown and self-peel.
Talon's major spikes are level 2 with Talon Q plus W pressure and level 6 with Talon R stealth burst.
Respect Talon's first completed lethality item spike to avoid lethal burst trades.

Win conditions

Deny Talon safe all-ins by controlling wave and punishing his Talon Q cooldown with W root.
Use R to lock down Talon when he commits, enabling jungle or team follow-up for kills.
Create flank angles with E to engage or escape, forcing Talon to play cautiously and limiting his roam impact.
