Talon vs Diana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a high-mobility AD assassin who wants to push and roam to leverage his terrain mobility and burst.
Talon should pressure the wave to deny Diana's short trades and avoid giving her calm scaling opportunities.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W to apply passive bleed, then threaten Q follow-up for burst.
Punish Diana when she misses Diana Q or uses Diana E without a reset, as her pressure drops significantly.
Use R stealth and burst to engage or disengage after forcing Diana's cooldowns.

Danger windows

Respect Diana's all-in window when Diana Q and Diana E are available for burst combos.
Be cautious when Diana's Diana R is up as it enables strong teamfight and kill potential.
Avoid extended trades when Diana's shield (Diana W) is active, reducing your burst effectiveness.

Early game

Use level 2 Q+W to pressure Diana and threaten trades before she hits level 3 power spike.
Avoid extended fights when Diana's Diana Q is up to prevent her burst combo.
Maintain lane movement and look for flank angles to maximize pressure and avoid Diana's predictable all-in.

Power spikes

Talon's main spikes are level 2 (Q+W), level 6 (R), and first lethality item.
Respect Diana's level 3 power spike when she unlocks Q-W-E burst with dash reset and shield.
Respect Diana's level 6 R for all-in threat and teamfights.

Win conditions

Win by pushing the wave to create roam opportunities and use E to quickly impact other lanes.
Deny Diana's ability to land her Q by controlling wave and spacing, reducing her burst threat.
Use your stealth ult and terrain mobility to pick off Diana or roam before she can respond.

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