Talon vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a medium pressure assassin who wants to push waves and roam, denying Yasuo safe scaling.
Manage lane presence to avoid staying visible too long, as Yasuo thrives on short trades near minions.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W, then threaten Q follow-up and passive bleed to poke safely.
Punish Yasuo when he uses Yasuo Q dash aggressively, as Talon’s E cooldown limits immediate follow-up.
Avoid trading when Yasuo’s Yasuo W is up, as it blocks many of your projectiles.

Danger windows

Beware Yasuo’s second Yasuo Q tornado knockup combined with Yasuo R for lethal all-ins.
Respect Yasuo's Yasuo W cooldown; when down, he is vulnerable to your poke and engage.
Avoid extended visible trades where Yasuo can use minions for mobility with Yasuo E.

Early game

Use level 2 Q and W to pressure Yasuo and force him to respect your poke.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 since Yasuo can dash and knock up with Yasuo Q and Yasuo E.
Keep wave control to create roam opportunities and limit Yasuo's mobility.

Power spikes

Talon's key spikes: level 2 Q+W pressure, level 6 R burst and stealth, and first lethality item.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 Q+E mobility and level 6 R if he can knock you up.
Yasuo's first item spike increases his dueling threat; avoid fights when he has it completed.

Win conditions

Push waves to enable roaming with E, denying Yasuo safe scaling and map presence.
Use R stealth and burst to punish Yasuo when his Yasuo W is down or after he wastes mobility.
Control wave states to limit Yasuo's Yasuo E dashes and force him into unfavorable trades.

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