Diana vs Talon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize efficient full clears to hit level 6 and item spikes on tempo before forcing fights.
Avoid early river skirmishes unless your lanes have priority to contest Scuttle or objectives.
Use your mid-game teamfight power and (R) to turn objective fights in your favor and punish Talon's roam attempts.

Jungle Plan

Use fast AoE clear to reach level 6 quickly and sequence camps toward objective timers.
Fight for river control and dragon only when you have lane priority or Talon is spotted on the opposite side.
Track Talon's pathing to counter-gank his early roams and punish his cooldowns after he uses (E) to reposition.

Danger windows

Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) burst pressure and early roam potential; avoid fighting without cooldowns or lane support.
Beware Talon's level 6 (R) stealth and burst window; hold key defensive tools and avoid isolated fights during this time.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Talon's burst and mobility can punish you.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward the safest reset to secure level 3 power spike with (Q)+(W)+(E).
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority and Talon is not nearby to counter-invade.
Avoid early invades before level 6 as Talon's mobility and stealth make him dangerous in isolated fights.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo with dash reset and shield; use it to trade or force fights when cooldowns align.
Level 6 (R) grants strong teamfight engage and pick potential; look for multi-target all-ins or objective fights.
First completed AP skirmish item boosts your damage and trade reliability; pressure waves and objectives more confidently after this.

Win conditions

Convert your faster clear and mid-game (R) power spike into objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use your (Q)+(E) reset combo to punish Talon after he uses (E) for terrain mobility or roams.
Leverage your teamfight engage and burst to secure picks and snowball leads through coordinated ganks and counter-jungling.
