Talon vs Annie

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a medium lane pressure assassin who wants to push and roam to leverage his high mobility.
Focus on denying Annie a passive lane by using wave pressure and roaming rather than extended lane fights.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W to apply passive bleed, then threaten Q follow-up but back off if Annie's passive is near 4 stacks.
Punish Annie when she uses W to push the wave and runs low on mana by threatening all-ins.
Use wave pressure to force Annie under turret where her range disadvantage limits her poke and pick potential.

Danger windows

Avoid extended trades when Annie's passive stun is fully stacked.
Respect Annie's R Tibbers engage window, especially post-level 6 before your R is available.
Be cautious when Talon's E is on cooldown as mobility and escape options are limited.

Early game

Use level 2 Q plus W to pressure Annie early but avoid extended trades to prevent her passive stun.
Avoid using Q aggressively without E ready to escape since Talon's engage is limited without terrain access.
Watch for Annie's passive stacks before committing to trades to avoid her stun burst.

Power spikes

Talon's major spikes are level 2 (Q+W pressure), level 6 (R burst and stealth), and first lethality item.
Respect Annie's level 6 spike with R Tibbers for pick potential and her first completed AP item for burst damage.

Win conditions

Push the wave to create roam opportunities and use E to flank or escape after roams.
Punish Annie's poor waveclear and mana constraints by forcing her to overextend.
Use R stealth and burst to all-in when Annie's passive stun or R is on cooldown.

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