Taliyah vs Talon

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Taliyah is a control mage who must manage wave control to punish Talon's limited early all-in windows.
Use medium lane pressure to deny Talon safe scaling and prevent him from roaming freely.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and hold W and E to punish Talon’s forward movement or dashes through E.
Avoid extended trades if W and E are down, as Talon can capitalize on your limited mobility.
Capitalize on Talon’s Talon Q cooldown to land short trades and force him back.

Danger windows

Talon’s level 6 Talon R burst and stealth creates a lethal all-in window; avoid overextending without W and E.
When W and E are spent, Taliyah is vulnerable to Talon’s high mobility and burst.
Talon’s Talon Q dash is dangerous when available; respect this cooldown to avoid trades.

Early game

Use Q to poke and control the wave early, avoiding extended trades before level 3 when W and E are available.
Respect Talon’s Talon Q dash; avoid trading when it’s up to prevent burst damage.
Push Talon under turret to limit his roam and waveclear effectiveness.

Power spikes

Taliyah’s major spikes are level 6 R for map plays and first mage item for poke and wave control.
Talon’s major spikes are level 2 access to Talon Q plus W pressure and level 6 Talon R burst and stealth.
Respect Talon’s early level 2 power spike by avoiding unnecessary trades before W and E are ready.

Win conditions

Control the mid wave with Q and punish Talon’s dashes through E and W to deny his all-in attempts.
Push and roam with R to turn mid pressure into map advantage and limit Talon’s roam impact.
Force Talon to farm under turret to reduce his roaming and burst threat.

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