Talon vs Ivern

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Talon's high early-game agency to pressure Ivern's slower jungle tempo and deny his camp pickups.
Prioritize snowballing through early kills and map pressure to prevent Ivern from reaching his strong utility scaling.

Jungle Plan

Follow a full clear path enabling early river control and Scuttle contest when lanes can assist.
Invade aggressively before Ivern's utility scaling starts, disrupting his buff shares and camp routes.
Track Ivern's pathing to set up counter-ganks and secure vision around dragon and Rift Herald for objective control.

Danger windows

Beware low-health clears or isolated river fights where Ivern's root (Q) and Daisy knockup (R) can turn fights.
Respect Ivern's unusual pathing to avoid direct fights; avoid overcommitting to invades without lane priority.
Watch for forced smite fights around early dragons where Ivern's utility enables quick teammate collapse.

Early game

Execute a fast, efficient first clear to hit level 3 quickly and contest the first Scuttle when allied lanes have priority.
Avoid direct early fights without lane priority or numbers advantage due to Ivern's low dueling strength.
Use superior mobility to invade or counter-invade when Ivern delays camp pickups or overextends.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlock of (Q) and (W) grants strong early trades and invade potential before Ivern can respond; use this window to pressure.
Level 6 (R) adds burst and stealth, increasing kill threat and roam pressure; use it for picks or defensive resets.
First lethality item completion boosts damage and trade reliability, enabling confident invades and objective pressure.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into repeated invades denying Ivern's camps and scaling resources.
Use mobility and burst to gank lanes with priority, snowballing leads and forcing objectives.
Control vision and river around dragon and Rift Herald to secure objectives before Ivern's utility impact grows.
