Overview

Prioritize fast clears and early river control to leverage Talon's high mobility and burst potential.
Exploit Zyra's immobility by invading when her plants and root are on cooldown.
Use (E) terrain mobility to outmaneuver Zyra's zone control and set up counterjungling opportunities.

Use (E) to traverse terrain and set up unexpected ganks on lanes forced through Zyra's plant zones.

Respect Zyra's level 6 (R) during grouped fights or river skirmishes where she can knock up multiple targets.

Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support river fights.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into dragon and Rift Herald control by denying Zyra's jungle access.
