Talon vs Rek'Sai

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Talon must leverage early mobility and burst to contest Rek'Sai's aggressive early jungle pressure and avoid falling behind in tempo.
Prioritize controlling river vision and Scuttle crabs to limit Rek'Sai's tunnel gank angles and maintain objective access.

Jungle Plan

Path for efficient clears that enable early river control and Scuttle contest when nearby lanes have priority.
Look for invade opportunities after Rek'Sai commits to a side or after she uses tunnels aggressively.
Use Talon's mobility to counter-gank Rek'Sai's early tunnel ganks and pressure dragon or Herald setups with lane priority.

Danger windows

Rek'Sai's early 3-camp into gank timing is a high-risk window; avoid isolated river fights before level 6.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle when Rek'Sai's nearby lanes lack priority or Rek'Sai has tunnel vision on objectives.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights post-level 3 can be lethal if Rek'Sai tunnels in unseen.

Early game

Start with a clear path that enables a fast level 3 to contest early Scuttle or invade safely.
Avoid extended fights early unless Rek'Sai's tunnels are tracked and nearby lanes have priority to support.
Focus on securing first Scuttle when lanes can assist or Rek'Sai is on the opposite side of the map.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) and (W) give Talon a strong early trade and clear speed advantage to contest Rek'Sai's first camps.
Level 6 (R) allows Talon to execute burst all-ins or escape Rek'Sai's knockup and follow-ups.
First lethality item completion increases Talon's damage and objective threat, enabling more confident invades and skirmishes.

Win conditions

Convert Talon's superior early burst and mobility into counter-ganks and river control to deny Rek'Sai's tempo.
Use secured Scuttle vision and lane priority to invade Rek'Sai's jungle and steal camps safely.
Translate early tempo leads into dragon and Rift Herald control before Rek'Sai can snowball from early ganks.
