Nunu & Willump vs Talon

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's superior early clear speed and objective control to pressure Talon through fast dragon and Rift Herald attempts.
Avoid isolated duels with Talon, instead leverage (W) gank angles and lane CC to create numbers advantages for successful plays.

Jungle Plan

Path to secure early dragon or Rift Herald when Talon is on the opposite side of the map or after successful ganks.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle crabs only when your lanes can move first to avoid risky isolated fights.
Track Talon's first clear and be ready to counter-gank his early pressure, using (W) and allied CC to lock him down.

Danger windows

Beware Talon's level 2 all-in window when he unlocks (Q)+(W) for burst trades.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Talon's mobility and stealth can isolate and kill you.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Talon's ultimate (R) is up, as he can burst and escape quickly.

Early game

Start with a full clear using (Q) to maintain health and tempo, then look to contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades against Talon before level 6 unless your lanes can assist, as Talon's mobility and burst are high risk.
Use fogged (W) angles for ganks to bypass Talon's terrain mobility and surprise him.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Herald spawn, use (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives quickly and force Talon to respond.
At level 6, layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to punish Talon caught in your crowd control chain.
Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo and level 6 (R) burst stealth window by avoiding fights when these are available without lane support.

Win conditions

Convert early ganks and lane priority into fast dragon and Rift Herald takes using (Q) plus Smite for secure.
Use (W) to create unexpected gank angles and chain CC with allies to shut down Talon's mobility and burst.
Deny Talon free farm by pressuring his jungle and forcing him into unfavorable fights before he completes lethality items.
