Talon into Vimedium

Overview

Use Talon's high early agency and mobility to contest river vision and tempo against Vi's strong early pressure.
Avoid direct early fights unless you have lane priority or numbers advantage due to Vi's and lockdown.
Deny Vi free farm and convert early jungle tempo into map pressure and objectives to snowball the game.

Jungle Plan

Invade Vi's jungle when is on cooldown or after she commits to ganks to exploit her medium invade resistance.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first or after successful counter-ganks.

Danger windows

Respect Vi's level 3-4 window when her dash and dueling power peak; avoid isolated fights without vision.
Be cautious contesting river objectives when Vi's ultimate is available due to point-and-click lockdown.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Vi can capitalize on objective control and lockdown to secure kills.

Early game

Level 6 grants stealth and burst, allowing safer counter-ganks and picks; track this window closely.
First completed lethality item boosts burst damage, increasing jungle control and pressure against Vi.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into vision control and objective setups around dragon and Rift Herald to deny Vi scaling.
Use mobility and stealth to create picks and counter-ganks leveraging lane priority.
