Talon vs Viego

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Talon should leverage his superior early game agency and mobility to disrupt Viego's jungle tempo and deny him safe farm and reset opportunities.
Prioritize controlling river vision and contesting Scuttle when allied lanes have priority to limit Viego's skirmish setups and reset potential.

Jungle Plan

Complete full clears efficiently, then contest river Scuttle when allied lanes can pressure to deny Viego vision and reset chains.
Invade Viego's jungle camps only when he is spotted on the opposite side or after his first clear to disrupt his scaling.
Use Talon's superior mobility to set up cross-map plays and force tempo advantages around dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority.

Danger windows

Respect Viego's level 6 (R) reset window as one takedown can flip fights and lead to swift cleanups.
Avoid extended river fights when Viego has full health and cooldowns, especially near objectives where he can reset.
Be cautious invading without lane support early, as Viego can punish isolated Talon with his stun (W) and dueling strength.

Early game

Execute a fast clear path to hit level 3 quickly and only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have lane priority to support a safe fight.
Avoid isolated early invades before level 6, as Viego's dueling and reset mechanics punish premature fights.
Use (E) terrain mobility to path around lanes that can collapse first and track Viego's position for timely counter-ganks.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlock of (Q) plus (W) grants Talon strong early dueling to contest camps or punish Viego before his item spikes.
Level 6 (R) gives Talon burst and stealth to pick off isolated targets and escape resets, forcing Viego to play cautiously.
First lethality item completion increases Talon's damage and pressure, enabling more aggressive invades and objective control.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into denying Viego farm and resets by invading after first clear and securing Scuttle vision.
Use Talon's mobility and burst to create pick opportunities around river and mid-lane, snowballing leads into dragon and Rift Herald control.
Maintain pressure on Viego's jungle side to force him into unfavorable fights before his item and level 6 spikes, limiting his scaling potential.
