Elise into Talonmedium

Overview

Use Elise's very high early gank threat to snowball lanes before Talon scales.
Prioritize invading Talon before his first reset to punish his lower early jungle resistance.
Avoid full clears against Talon's roam potential; focus on tempo and early dives.

Invade Talon's jungle early before he completes his lethality item and gains ultimate access.
Prioritize river control and contest Scuttles when lanes have priority to deny Talon's safe pathing.
Focus ganks on lanes with strong snowball potential and set up early dragon or Rift Herald after kills.

Beware Talon's level 2 all-in potential; do not invade without lane priority or vision control.
Avoid isolated river fights where Talon's terrain mobility and stealth ultimate enable lethal picks.
Steer clear of forced smite contests and low-health clears near Talon's gank paths without vision.

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to maximize level 3 pressure.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and counter-gank Talon's roams.
Avoid extended fights when Talon's ultimate is available and vision is limited.

Spike at level 3 with cocoon and rappel for lethal ganks; punish Talon's early jungle paths.
Respect Talon's level 2 power spike with + combo; avoid fights without lane priority.
Track Talon's level 6 and avoid forced fights; punish him after ultimate is spent.

Convert early kills and lane pressure into dragon and Rift Herald control with lane priority.
Use superior early gank threat and invade resistance to deny Talon farm and scaling before his first item.
Leverage vision and pathing to set up cross-map plays, snowball lanes, and force Talon into teamfights where Elise excels.
