Ivern vs Talon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking and buff-sharing to deny Talon jungle camps without engaging in direct duels.
Prioritize protecting lanes that can capitalize on Ivern's root (Q), shield slow (E), and Daisy (R) to maximize gank and counter-gank impact.
This is a utility scaling matchup where Ivern must avoid early isolated fights and leverage team play to outscale Talon's burst and roam threat.

Jungle Plan

Use unusual paths to deny Talon jungle camps while avoiding direct duels, especially before Talon completes his lethality item.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and can collapse quickly to support you.
Focus on cross-map objective setups and protect carries with shields and crowd control rather than forcing early fights.

Danger windows

Beware of Talon's early level 2 all-in potential and avoid isolated jungle fights before level 3.
Respect (R) stealth and burst window around level 6, especially near terrain where he can reposition quickly.
Avoid low-health clears and forced smite fights without lane priority or teammate support to prevent being collapsed on.

Early game

Start with a safe full clear and mark camps early to enable flexible routing and buff-sharing with teammates.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support a Scuttle contest or counter-invade.
Track Talon's first clear and path to anticipate his roam timings and prepare counter-ganks or objective setups accordingly.

Power spikes

Respect Talon's level 2 power spike with (Q) and (W) for burst trades; avoid giving him space to engage.
Track Talon's ultimate (R) cooldown and use the window after it's spent to set up objectives or force plays.
Leverage Ivern's scaling utility and Daisy's knockup in mid to late game to control teamfights and protect carries.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into denying Talon's camps through creative pathing and buff-sharing with teammates.
Use (Q), (E), and Daisy (R) to enable ganks and counter-ganks on lanes with priority, focusing on protecting shielded carries.
Prioritize grouped objective setups like dragon and Rift Herald by leveraging superior utility and vision control to outmaneuver Talon.
