Renekton vs Talon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton is the lane bully who must pressure Talon early to deny his roam and scaling opportunities.
Control early waves and use short burst trades to prevent Talon from pushing freely and setting up roams.
This is a snowball matchup where Renekton must leverage early lane pressure to avoid falling behind to Talon's mobility and burst.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively with full fury using (E) dash in, empowered (W) stun, (Q) heal, then second (E) to exit safely.
Punish Talon when he uses (Q) dash forward by countering with your stun and burst before he can reposition.
Avoid trading without your second (E) dash available to prevent being locked down by Talon's follow-up damage.

Danger windows

Talon's level 2 combo and level 6 ultimate create high burst windows where you must respect his damage and avoid extended trades.
Be cautious after using both (E) dashes forward, as you lose mobility and become vulnerable to Talon's follow-up.
Track (R) cooldown to avoid all-ins during his stealth burst phase and hold defensive tools for that window.

Early game

Use level 1 and 2 to establish wave control and force Talon to farm under pressure before he unlocks his full combo.
Stack fury early by safely hitting minions and look for empowered (W) trades once (E) is available.
Avoid extended fights before level 3 when your full combo is ready and Talon's burst is less threatening.

Power spikes

Level 3 is a major spike; use your full combo to force Talon back before he can respond.
Level 6 (R) grants you extra health and damage; use it to convert short trades into all-ins when Talon is low.
Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo and level 6 ultimate stealth burst by playing around cooldowns and spacing.

Win conditions

Snowball early by winning short trades with high fury and denying Talon's wave push to limit his roam potential.
Use level 6 (R) to force decisive fights when Talon is chipped or trapped under wave pressure.
Maintain lane priority to crash waves into Talon and set up dives or plate damage before he completes lethality items.
