Talon vs Volibear

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Talon must leverage superior mobility and burst to avoid Volibear's strong early dueling and objective control.
Prioritize fast clears and selective river contests to deny Volibear tempo without risking direct fights.

Jungle Plan

Use terrain mobility to path for early ganks before Volibear can respond and punish overextensions.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald only with vision control and lane priority to counter Volibear's objective strength.
Track Volibear's route to set up counter-ganks or invade when his engage cooldowns are down, denying his early tempo.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when (Q) stun and (R) dive are available and lanes lack priority.
Respect Volibear's ultimate window during objective contests, as he can force tower dives and extended fights.
Prioritize safe pathing and vision when low on health or forced into smite fights near Volibear's position.

Early game

Execute a fast full clear to hit level 3 before Volibear can invade or force early fights.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes hold priority to reduce risk against Volibear's early pressure.
Avoid extended early skirmishes; use terrain mobility to secure side camps and maintain jungle tempo.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) and (W) for burst trades; use this window to punish Volibear before his level 3 brawl pattern.
Level 6 (R) grants stealth and burst, enabling safer counter-ganks, picks, and escapes from Volibear's engages.
First lethality item completion significantly boosts damage; increase aggression on camps and objectives to deny Volibear scaling.

Win conditions

Convert Talon's mobility and burst into early counter-ganks and objective control when lanes have priority.
Deny Volibear free farm by invading after his early cooldowns and forcing him off camps.
Use post-level 6 roam potential to pressure sidelanes and secure Rift Herald or dragon with coordinated vision and lane support.
