Nasus vs Talon

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe (Q) stacking and avoid early fights to reach late-game juggernaut scaling against Talon's burst and mobility.
Leverage side-lane control and extended fights after stacking while respecting Talon's roam and burst windows.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and safe (Q) stacks before contesting camps or objectives.
Contest first Scuttle only if side lanes have priority to support and limit Talon's roaming impact.
Track Talon's pathing to counter-gank early pressure and leverage (R) and (W) for extended fights after level 6.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Talon's burst and mobility are strongest.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available due to his burst and disengage potential.
Low-health clears or extended jungle fights without vision invite Talon's high early gank threat and roaming pressure.

Early game

Focus on efficient full clears to hit level 6 and item breakpoints before contesting river or invading Talon.
Avoid early river fights unless side lanes have priority to reduce risk against Talon's high early mobility and burst.
Use vision around Scuttle and dragon only when nearby lanes can assist or Talon is on the opposite side of the map.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), granting durability and extended fight potential; use it to hold ground and punish Talon if he overstays.
High (Q) stacks greatly increase dueling threat; pressure side lanes to force Talon to respect your scaling.
Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo and first lethality item spike by avoiding fights before you reach key breakpoints.

Win conditions

Convert safe (Q) stacking and level 6 durability into side-lane pressure forcing Talon to respond and limiting his roam.
Use vision and lane priority to contest dragon and Rift Herald when Talon is forced to defend or on the opposite side.
Leverage extended fights with (W) slow and (R) durability to outlast Talon's burst and secure objectives or picks in skirmishes.
