Ekko vs Talon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears or five-camp routes into lanes with strong setup for (W) stuns rather than forcing early duels with Talon.
Use mobility and (R) to avoid early river fights and punish Talon when he overextends or uses (E) to roam.
Focus on mid-game skirmishes and side-lane pressure leveraging your scaling and burst over Talon's early aggression.

Jungle Plan

Clear efficiently to hit level 6 quickly, then use (W) from fog or brush to zone enemies and set up picks around dragon or Rift Herald.
Track Talon's pathing and be ready to counter-gank his early pressure, especially when he uses (E) to roam.
Prioritize objective control after level 6 using your ultimate to reset fights and deny Talon from snowballing through kills.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Talon can roam with (E) and burst with (Q) and (W).
Respect Talon's level 2 all-in when he has (Q) and (W) ready to trade aggressively.
Be cautious contesting objectives if low health or if (R) is available for stealth burst and escape.

Early game

Start with a full clear or a five-camp clear that leads into a lane with priority to set up (W) stuns.
Avoid early river fights where (E) terrain mobility and burst can punish you before level 6.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Talon's early roam potential.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (Q)-(W)-(E) combo; use it to trade aggressively when Talon is without (E) mobility.
Level 6 (R) grants safety and burst reset; use it to force all-ins or escape Talon's ultimate burst and stealth.
First completed AP burst item increases your trade reliability; pressure Talon more confidently post-item while tracking his cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert your scaling and burst into side-lane pressure and skirmishes after level 6 using (W) setups and (R) resets.
Use your mobility and vision control to deny Talon safe roams and punish his cooldowns with counter-ganks.
Secure early dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority to snowball your team and limit Talon's early kill pressure.
