Talon vs Ahri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a medium lane pressure AD assassin who wants to push and roam to snowball.
Manage wave control to avoid giving Ahri safe short trades and Ahri E punish windows.

Trading pattern

Use W to start trades and threaten Q follow-up, but avoid dashing into Ahri E range.
Punish Ahri when she uses Ahri Q on the wave or misses Ahri E by stepping forward aggressively.
After pushing, use E to roam or reposition for flank angles rather than forced all-ins.

Danger windows

Ahri is dangerous when Ahri E is up and you are forced to stay visible in lane.
Avoid extended trades when Ahri has Ahri R available to follow or disengage.
Be cautious when Ahri controls a stable wave state that enables her roam or river pressure.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 since Ahri has higher early agency and poke with Ahri Q and W.
Use level 2 Q plus W pressure to threaten trades and push for roam opportunities.
Respect Ahri E cooldown and avoid committing when it is available.

Power spikes

Talon spikes at level 2 with Q plus W pressure, level 6 with R burst and stealth, and first lethality item.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R spike that enables safer picks and extended trades.
Ahri's first mage item improves her waveclear and short trade threat, requiring more caution.

Win conditions

Push the wave to deny Ahri safe short trades and create roam opportunities with E.
Exploit Ahri's vulnerability when she misses Ahri E or uses Ahri R defensively.
Use R stealth and burst to engage when Ahri's key cooldowns are down or she is overextended.

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