Talon vs Zoe

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a medium pressure assassin who must push to create roam opportunities and avoid staying visible against Zoe's poke.
Deny Zoe passive scaling by forcing wave pressure and using terrain mobility to punish her poke windows.

Trading pattern

Land W then threaten Q follow-up and passive bleed to trade before Zoe can safely counterpoke.
Punish Zoe after she misses Zoe E by all-in or forcing her back.
Avoid using Q aggressively when it forces you to dash into Zoe's poke range without flank angles.

Danger windows

High danger when Zoe's Zoe E is up and she can land sleep for follow-up burst.
Avoid prolonged trades when Zoe's R is available to dodge your engage or extend poke.
Vulnerable when you use Q dash aggressively and cannot follow up or reposition with E.

Early game

Use level 2 Q plus W to pressure Zoe early but avoid extended trades to dodge Zoe E setups.
Avoid standing still to reduce risk of Zoe E sleep and poke combos.
Push wave quickly to enable roaming before Zoe hits level 6 power spike.

Power spikes

Talon's level 2 Q+W pressure and level 6 R burst with stealth enable strong all-ins.
First lethality item completion significantly boosts Talon's kill threat.
Respect Zoe's level 6 R for extended poke angles and burst potential.

Win conditions

Push wave to create roam windows and use E terrain mobility to impact side lanes.
Punish Zoe's missed Zoe E with aggressive trades or roams.
Use level 6 R stealth burst to all-in when Zoe is vulnerable or overextended.

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