Talon vs Qiyana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a medium lane pressure assassin who wants to push to create roam opportunities and use E for map mobility.
Manage wave control to avoid being shoved under turret and punished by Qiyana's element-based burst near terrain.

Trading pattern

Land W to apply passive bleed, threaten Q follow-up, then back off before Qiyana commits with E.
Punish Qiyana if she uses E without lethal threat or escape path by trading aggressively.
Avoid trading near terrain or river where Qiyana can maximize R impact and stun potential.

Danger windows

Respect Qiyana R near terrain or river for burst and stun.
Avoid extended trades when Qiyana has the correct element prepared and E dash available.
Be cautious when Qiyana's Qiyana Q root or execute effect is ready, especially near terrain.

Early game

Use level 2 Q + W to pressure Qiyana but avoid extended trades before E is available.
Avoid fighting near walls or brush where Qiyana's R and Qiyana R are most threatening.
Prioritize pushing safely to enable roams and reduce Qiyana's terrain advantage.

Power spikes

Talon spikes at level 2 with Q + W pressure, level 6 with R burst and stealth, and first lethality item.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 power spike when she unlocks element swaps and E dash for burst trades.
Respect Qiyana's level 6 Qiyana R for terrain-based stun and burst potential.

Win conditions

Push the wave to create roam opportunities and use E to flank or escape.
Punish Qiyana's E cooldowns by trading aggressively when she commits without lethal threat.
Avoid fighting near terrain or brush to minimize Qiyana's R threat and burst windows.

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