Talon vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Talon should leverage his early high agency to pressure Taliyah's jungle pathing and limit her river control.
Focus on snowballing through early invades and objective control before Taliyah's scaling becomes a threat.

Jungle Plan

Invade Taliyah's jungle during her mid-clear or when she's low health to deny tempo and vision.
Secure river Scuttle and control vision around dragon and Rift Herald using Talon's superior mobility.
Track Taliyah's pathing to counter-gank when she uses (R) for early map plays.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early to prevent getting trapped by (W) displacement and (E) zones.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is up as she can create numbers advantages or cut escape paths.
Do not overcommit to counter-jungling on low-health clears without vision of Taliyah or enemy laners.

Early game

Full clear first to hit level 3 quickly and prepare for an early invade or counter-invade against Taliyah.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated river fights.
Avoid open-space fights where Taliyah can punish dashes with (W) and (E).

Power spikes

Level 2 unlock of (Q) and (W) grants strong burst to punish Taliyah's early clears.
Level 6 (R) provides stealth and burst for aggressive all-ins or safe disengages.
First lethality item completion boosts damage, enabling confident pressure on Taliyah and her lanes.

Win conditions

Translate early jungle pressure and invades into dragon and Rift Herald control by forcing Taliyah off camps.
Use (E) terrain mobility and (R) stealth to create cross-map pressure via ganks and counter-ganks.
Deny Taliyah's scaling by punishing her when (W) and (E) are on cooldown and limit her farm to snowball leads into teamfights.
