Talon vs Anivia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a mobile assassin who must push waves to create roam pressure and avoid being zoned by Anivia's control spells.
Focus on denying Anivia a passive farming lane by applying medium lane pressure and threatening all-ins when her key abilities are down.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing W, then threaten Q follow-up and passive bleed to force Anivia back.
Punish missed Anivia Q stuns immediately with burst combos.
Be cautious when using Q to engage since it dashes Talon forward, exposing him to Anivia W terrain blocks and Anivia R zoning.

Danger windows

Talon is vulnerable to Anivia Q stun combos; respect cooldown to avoid getting locked down.
Anivia R creates a zoning area that limits Talon's movement and all-in angles.
Talon is weaker when forced to stay visible and cannot flank or roam safely.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and W to pressure Anivia before she establishes waveclear dominance.
Avoid extended trades when Anivia's Anivia Q is off cooldown to reduce risk of stun.
Push wave early to enable roaming with E and prevent Anivia from safely farming under turret.

Power spikes

Talon's major spikes are level 2 (Q+W), level 6 (R burst and stealth), and first lethality item.
Anivia's spikes come after level 6 and Lost Chapter completion, increasing her waveclear and zoning power.
Respect Anivia R's zoning damage and slow when considering all-ins or extended trades.

Win conditions

Push waves to create roam opportunities and use E to reposition or collapse on sidelanes.
Exploit Anivia's lack of mobility and punish missed Anivia Q stuns with quick burst trades.
Use level 6 R stealth and burst to all-in when Anivia's zoning tools are on cooldown or poorly positioned.
