Lux vs Talon

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who must control the lane with poke and binding threat to deny Talon's roam and all-in attempts.
Use high early game agency and lane pressure to prevent Talon from pushing and creating roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and punish Talon when Talon Q is on cooldown to avoid his dash engage.
Use Q to root Talon if he oversteps, then follow up with burst combo.
Avoid reckless Q usage since missing it leaves you vulnerable to Talon's burst and mobility.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Talon has Talon R available, as he gains stealth and burst potential.
Talon's Talon Q dash cooldown is a key window to trade or disengage safely.
Avoid losing range control to prevent Talon all-in opportunities, especially after missing Q.

Early game

Use E poke to harass Talon and keep him under turret since his waveclear is weak.
Hold Q to punish Talon's all-in attempts after he uses Talon Q dash.
Shield with W to mitigate Talon's poke and passive bleed from Talon W return.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R and first completed mage item increase Lux's burst and kill potential.
Respect Talon's level 2 Q plus W pressure and level 6 R stealth burst spike.
Talon's first lethality item spike demands cautious positioning and cooldown respect.

Win conditions

Win by consistently landing Q roots and punishing Talon's cooldowns with E poke and burst.
Deny Talon wave control to limit his roam and force him to farm under turret.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to outburst Talon before he can safely all-in or roam.

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