Talon vs Lucian

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Push waves to unlock roam windows and use (E) for quick map pressure.
Avoid extended visible lane fights to minimize Lucian's short-range burst threat.
Deny Lucian early poke by respecting his (Q) range and punishing cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (W) to apply bleed, then threaten (Q) follow-up for burst.
Punish Lucian after he uses (E) aggressively, as he loses mobility temporarily.
Avoid trading when forced to dash forward with (Q), as it can be punished by Lucian's burst.

Danger windows

Respect (E) dash and (Q) poke combo before key cooldowns expire.
Avoid extended trades when Lucian's support is ready to enable his burst trades.
Be wary after using (E) over the same terrain, as Talon's mobility is temporarily limited.

Early game

Contest level 2 trades with (W) + (Q) combo to pressure Lucian's short-range burst.
Push the first waves quickly to create roam opportunities before Lucian stabilizes.
Avoid overextending without jungle vision to prevent Lucian's support setup trades.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) + (W) combo, enabling strong all-in or burst trades.
Level 6 (R) grants stealth and burst, use it for picks or roams, not blind all-ins.
First lethality item completion boosts damage and wave control, increasing trade pressure.

Win conditions

Push waves fast to create roam pressure and snowball other lanes with (E).
Use (R) stealth window to secure kills or escape unfavorable fights.
Exploit Lucian's cooldowns and short dash windows to force resets or kills mid lane.

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