Zoe vs Talon

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage with high early agency and lane pressure aiming to punish Talon's limited early all-in windows.
Deny Talon safe wave pushes to reduce his roam threat and force him to farm under turret.

Trading pattern

Fish for E sleep to set up long-range Q poke and use R to reposition for safer burst trades.
Punish Talon when he uses Talon Q dash by counterattacking immediately after.
Avoid extended trades if E is on cooldown or missed, as Zoe becomes vulnerable.

Danger windows

Talon's level 6 Talon R stealth burst is a lethal all-in window; maintain distance and E cooldown.
Talon is dangerous when Talon Q dash is available; avoid overextending during this cooldown.
Missed E or bad R usage leave Zoe vulnerable to Talon's burst and roam pressure.

Early game

Use E to catch Talon off guard before he can engage with Talon Q.
Keep the wave on your side to limit Talon's roaming potential via Talon E.
Avoid using R at bad timings to prevent vulnerability to Talon's burst.

Power spikes

Zoe's level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles, increasing burst threat.
First completed AP burst item significantly boosts Zoe's kill potential.
Respect Talon's level 2 Talon Q plus W pressure and level 6 Talon R burst stealth windows.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing E sleep setups followed by Q and R burst from safe distances.
Keep Talon visible and under pressure to deny his roam and scaling opportunities.
Use superior poke and lane pressure to force Talon under turret and control mid priority.

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