Talon vs Viktor

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a high-mobility assassin who wants to push the wave and create roam opportunities against Viktor.
Talon must avoid giving Viktor a passive lane to prevent him from scaling safely into teamfight control.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W to apply bleed and threaten Q follow-up for burst.
Punish Viktor when he mispositions his delayed Viktor W or wastes Viktor E on wave clear.
Avoid trading when Viktor's Viktor Q shield and Viktor W zone control are active; wait for cooldowns.

Danger windows

Beware of engaging when Viktor's Viktor W is up as it zones and stuns after delay.
Avoid fighting when Viktor's Viktor R is active due to high AoE damage.
Talon is vulnerable if forced to stay visible and cannot flank or roam safely.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and W to pressure Viktor and threaten trades.
Avoid extended fights early since Viktor's poke and shield can punish you if you overcommit.
Focus on pushing wave to enable roams and deny Viktor easy farm under turret.

Power spikes

Talon's major spikes are level 2 (Q+W), level 6 (R), and first lethality item.
Respect Viktor's level 6 Viktor R and item evolution spikes that increase his poke and zone control.
Viktor's power grows with item upgrades; avoid extended fights before Talon's lethality spikes.

Win conditions

Push waves to create roam opportunities and use E to reposition or flank for kills.
Punish Viktor's immobility by engaging when Viktor's Viktor W is down or poorly placed.
Use level 6 R stealth and burst to all-in Viktor before he fully scales with items.

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