Diana vs Talon

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium agency AP assassin who wants to pressure Talon early to deny his roam windows.
Use your medium lane pressure to keep Talon visible and prevent him from pushing freely for roams.

Trading pattern

Use Q to mark Talon and reset E for burst trades when Electrocute is up.
Punish Talon when he uses Talon Q dash aggressively by countering with your shield and burst.
Avoid trading if you miss Q or your E reset is unavailable, as Talon can punish hard then.

Danger windows

Talon's Talon R stealth burst at level 6 demands respect; avoid extended trades when it is available.
Talon's Talon Q dash forward creates windows where you can be punished if you miss your Q or overcommit.
If your E is on cooldown, your pressure drops significantly—avoid fights then.

Early game

Focus on short trades using Q + E + W combo once level 3 is reached to exploit your burst.
Avoid committing before landing Q as Talon can punish your cooldowns and dash forward with Talon Q.
Keep Talon under turret when possible to limit his roaming and waveclear.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 for your full Q-W-E burst with dash reset and shield; Level 6 R for all-in threat; first AP skirmish item.
Respect Talon's spikes: Level 2 Talon Q + W pressure; Level 6 Talon R burst and stealth; first lethality item.

Win conditions

Win by landing your Q + E + W burst trades when Electrocute is active to chunk Talon early.
Deny Talon wave control to prevent his roaming and force him to farm under turret.
Use R R at level 6 to force all-ins or teamfights where your burst and crowd control shine.

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