Lucian vs Talon

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early burst trades with support setup to punish Talon's short-range all-ins.
Deny Talon wave control to limit his roam and terrain mobility options.
Prioritize short trades before Talon completes his lethality item and unlocks stronger burst.

Trading pattern

Engage trades only after support setup or when (W) and (Q) are on cooldown.
Use (Q) through minions to punish Talon standing behind low-health CS.
Avoid forward (E) dashes without cooldown advantage to prevent being counterpunished.

Danger windows

Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo when he gains burst and slow for trades.
Stay cautious post-(E) dash as you become vulnerable to Talon's counter-engage.
Track Talon's level 6 (R) stealth window to avoid unexpected all-ins or roams.

Early game

Contest level 2 with support cover to prevent (Q)+(W) combo from dominating trades.
Avoid extended fights when (E) is available to reposition or roam.
Use small wave states to dash in, proc passive, and exit before Talon can retaliate.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (E) dash and passive burst, enabling strong short trades.
First completed marksman item enhances burst trades enough to threaten kills or force recalls.
Level 6 (R) can finish targets pushed out of position but requires setup to avoid easy dodges.

Win conditions

Snowball lane by forcing short trades after support setup and Talon cooldowns expire.
Deny Talon wave priority to limit his roam and force him to farm under turret.
Use (R) to finish low-health targets pushed off wave and secure kills or lane resets.

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