Talon vs Akshan

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a medium pressure assassin who wants to push and roam against Akshan's high early lane pressure marksman style.
Manage wave control to avoid giving Akshan free short trades and punish his short range with your burst and mobility.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W, then threaten Q follow-up and passive bleed to pressure Akshan.
Punish Akshan's use of Akshan E to engage or reposition, especially if he misses or is interrupted.
Avoid trading when Akshan's Akshan Q dash is up, as it closes distance and counters your approach.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Akshan's Akshan E is available for aggressive repositioning or engages.
Avoid extended trades when Akshan's Akshan R is up due to his burst potential.
Talon is vulnerable when forced to stay visible without terrain access for E mobility.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 2 power spike when you have Q and W pressure.
Respect Akshan's early E engage and short trades by maintaining safe spacing until you can threaten all-in.
Use early wave pushes to create roam opportunities and deny Akshan easy harassment.

Power spikes

Talon's major spikes: level 2 with Q+W, level 6 with R, and first lethality item.
Akshan's major spikes: level 2 with Q+E or W, and level 6 with R.
Respect Akshan's level 6 burst and mobility to avoid lethal all-ins.

Win conditions

Push the wave to enable roaming with E and deny Akshan's lane bully pressure.
Use your superior burst and stealth from R to punish Akshan's overextensions or missed Akshan E.
Deny Akshan safe farming and short trades by controlling wave and cooldown windows to snowball lane advantage.

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