Talon vs Ryze

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a high-mobility assassin who wants to push the wave to create roam opportunities and avoid prolonged visible lane presence.
Talon should pressure Ryze early to deny his safe scaling farm and avoid letting Ryze control the lane passively.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W and threaten Q follow-up to apply passive bleed before committing.
Punish Ryze when he steps forward to cast Ryze E by engaging quickly before he can root with Ryze W.
Avoid trading when Ryze has Ryze W available to root and set up Ryze Q damage.

Danger windows

Respect Ryze's Ryze W root combined with Ryze E spread and Ryze Q empowered damage when he has mana.
Avoid committing when Ryze's spells are off cooldown and mana is sufficient to cycle trades.
Be cautious if forced to stay visible in lane without flank angles, as Ryze can punish with crowd control and poke.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and W to pressure Ryze before he can safely trade with E and Q rotations.
Avoid extended trades when Ryze has mana to cycle spells and W root ready.
Push the wave to set up roam windows using E for terrain mobility.

Power spikes

Talon's major spikes are level 2 with Q and W pressure, level 6 R for burst and stealth, and first lethality item.
Respect Ryze's first mana/AP item spike and level 6 Ryze R for map plays and sustained spell rotations.

Win conditions

Win by pushing the wave to deny Ryze safe farming and create roam opportunities using E for map pressure.
Use level 6 R stealth and burst to all-in Ryze when his Ryze W root is down.
Punish Ryze's mana cooldowns by forcing trades when he cannot follow up with spells or crowd control.

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