Qiyana vs Talon

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Qiyana aims to control terrain and use element swaps to set up burst trades against Talon.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Talon easy roam windows and punish his weaker waveclear.

Trading pattern

Prepare the correct element with W, poke or root with Q, then commit E only when Talon’s mobility is down or near terrain.
Punish Talon after he uses Talon Q dash aggressively by responding with E burst trades.
Avoid trades away from terrain or with wrong element as Talon can retaliate with Talon W and passive bleed.

Danger windows

Respect Talon R stealth and burst window; avoid extended trades when it’s available.
Talon’s Talon Q dash can punish E commits without lethal pressure; space accordingly.
Be cautious when R is down or fights happen away from terrain, as your all-in threat lessens.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to combine Q-W-E for strong short trades near terrain.
Avoid committing E without lethal threat or escape path to prevent Talon punishing your cooldowns.
Keep wave on your side to limit Talon's roam potential and force him to farm under turret.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Q-W-E element setup and dash access for burst trades.
Level 6 R enables strong all-ins near terrain or river, crucial for turning fights.
First lethality item completion significantly increases burst threat against Talon.

Win conditions

Use element advantage and terrain to burst Talon before he can use Talon E mobility.
Deny Talon wave control to limit his roam and capitalize on river skirmishes with R.
Snowball early trades into river fights and flanks where your R terrain stun dominates.

Tip: For Qiyana vs Talon, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
