Neeko vs Talon

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko controls lane pressure by leveraging E angles through minions and using disguise to create uncertainty.
Deny Talon the chance to push and roam by maintaining wave control and punishing his limited waveclear.

Trading pattern

Fish for empowered E roots through minions and immediately burst with Q to capitalize on Talon's vulnerability.
Respect Talon Q dash; punish after he uses it as he is vulnerable waiting for E cooldown.
Use W and passive disguise to mask engage timing and bait Talon's defensive cooldowns.

Danger windows

Talon's level 6 R burst and stealth create a lethal all-in window; keep distance and avoid clumping.
When E is on cooldown or missed, Neeko is vulnerable to Talon's burst and should avoid trades.
Talon's Q dash towards Neeko is a short cooldown threat; respect spacing until it is used.

Early game

Use E through minions early to root Talon and follow up with Q burst before he can engage.
Avoid extended trades if E misses, as Talon can punish Neeko's cooldown downtime.
Keep Talon visible and prevent him from using terrain mobility (Talon E) to flank or roam.

Power spikes

Neeko's level 6 R is a major all-in and teamfight threat that can catch grouped enemies.
Talon's level 2 Q plus W pressure is an early threat to respect before committing to trades.
Talon's level 6 R grants burst and stealth, requiring caution and spacing from Neeko.

Win conditions

Use disguise and minion-enhanced E roots to create picks or force Talon out of lane.
Punish Talon's weaker waveclear by shoving and denying roam opportunities.
Leverage level 6 R threat to force Talon to respect all-ins and control lane tempo.

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