Talon vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Talon must leverage his early lane agency to pressure Renekton and deny him a calm scaling lane.
Focus on pushing the wave to create roam opportunities and avoid extended visible trades that favor Renekton's burst.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (W) and threatening (Q) follow-up when Renekton's fury and (W) are down.
Punish Renekton after he uses both (E) casts forward, limiting his escape and engage options.
Avoid trading when Renekton has high fury and empowered (W) ready, as his burst and stun are lethal.

Danger windows

Respect Renekton's high fury with empowered (W) and available double (E) dashes for quick all-ins.
Be cautious when Renekton reaches level 6 with (R) active, increasing his health and damage for sustained fights.
Avoid extended visible trades where Renekton can stun and burst you before you can reposition with (E).

Early game

Use level 2 power spike to trade aggressively with (Q) and (W) when Renekton's fury is low.
Avoid prolonged fights early as Renekton's empowered (W) and double (E) dash enable strong burst trades.
Maintain wave pressure to prevent Renekton from stacking fury safely and initiating empowered trades.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) and (W) combo; use this to force trades when Renekton cannot respond.
Level 6 (R) grants Talon burst and stealth; use it for all-ins, picks, or roams, respecting Renekton's defensive cooldowns.
Renekton's level 3 full combo and level 6 (R) increase his burst and durability; respect these windows and avoid extended trades.

Win conditions

Snowball early by pushing waves and using (E) to roam and apply map pressure.
Exploit Renekton's cooldowns and fury management to secure kills or force him under turret.
Use level 6 (R) windows to force decisive fights or escape dangerous situations, denying Renekton scaling and lane control.
