Talon vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a high-mobility assassin who must push the wave to create roam opportunities and deny Aurelion Sol safe scaling.
Focus on applying medium lane pressure to prevent Aurelion Sol from farming comfortably and scaling into late game.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W to apply passive bleed, then threaten Q follow-up for burst.
Punish Aurelion Sol when he uses Aurelion Sol Q or W to reposition or clear waves, as he is vulnerable to fast all-ins.
Use E to flank or reposition for trades, but be mindful of cooldowns and terrain limitations.

Danger windows

Avoid all-ins when Talon's E is on cooldown or when forced to stay visible in lane.
Be cautious around level 6 before committing, as Talon's R grants stealth and burst that can turn fights.
Hard push and punish Aurelion Sol's roams by taking plates and alerting teammates.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and W to pressure Aurelion Sol before he has full kit access.
Avoid extended trades early as Talon has low early agency and can be punished by Aurelion Sol's poke if caught out.
Push the wave to force Aurelion Sol under turret and limit his roaming potential.

Power spikes

Talon's major spikes are level 2 (Q+W), level 6 (R), and first lethality item completion.
Aurelion Sol's major spikes come much later with ultimate upgrades and item completions, giving Talon a window to dominate early.
Respect Talon's level 6 stealth and burst to secure kills or force summoner spells.

Win conditions

Win by pushing the wave to deny Aurelion Sol safe farm and create roam opportunities using E.
Use R stealth and burst to execute quick all-ins before Aurelion Sol scales.
Maintain lane pressure and deny Aurelion Sol's scaling by punishing his reliance on Q and W for damage and waveclear.
