Volibear vs Talon

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's early jungle strength and fast clear to pressure Talon by invading or contesting river control early.
Prioritize forcing fights around dragon and scuttle when lanes have priority to leverage Volibear's dueling and gank threat.
This matchup demands snowballing early leads to deny Talon's scaling and roaming impact.

Jungle Plan

Path towards lanes with strong CC or dive potential to maximize (Q) stun and (R) tower disable for impactful ganks.
Fight for early dragon and Void Grubs control when lanes assist, using Volibear's objective control and dueling to deny Talon tempo.
Invade Talon's jungle aggressively before he completes his first lethality item to disrupt his scaling and force defensive clears.

Danger windows

Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) burst combo by avoiding isolated fights without lane support.
Avoid committing to river skirmishes where Talon can use (E) terrain mobility to escape or reposition.
Post-level 6 (R) stealth and burst threaten all-ins; hold key defensive tools and avoid overextending until (R) is spent.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 3 power spike quickly and contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can follow.
Avoid fighting Talon early if he controls terrain for his (E) mobility to prevent easy escapes.
Use Volibear's durability to counter-gank Talon's early river or mid-lane ganks effectively.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Volibear's full combo, enabling strong dueling and gank threat; pressure Talon early before he roams.
Level 6 (R) boosts dive potential and tower threat; use health leads and lane priority to force Talon off objectives or into risky fights.
First bruiser or tank item increases durability for extended trades and objective control; ramp up pressure while tracking Talon's lethality spike.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with priority lanes for safe objectives.
Deny Talon free farm by leveraging Volibear's dueling and gank threat to force defensive clears and limit his roam impact.
Use level 6 dive threat and durable brawling to force Talon into unfavorable fights under turret or river, snowballing into mid-game dominance.
