Talon vs Ziggs

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a mobile assassin who must push the wave to create roam opportunities and avoid prolonged poke from Ziggs.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Ziggs safe scaling and prevent him from freely poking or sieging.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing W then threatening Q follow-up to apply passive bleed before backing off.
Punish Ziggs when he wastes W or misses Q, as he becomes vulnerable to your all-in.
Avoid trading when Ziggs's W is available to disengage or execute turret plates.

Danger windows

Ziggs is most dangerous when his W is up, ready to knock you away or execute turrets.
Respect Ziggs R level 6 burst potential, especially if you are low on health.
Be cautious when Ziggs controls approach paths with E slowing zones, limiting your engage angles.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and W to pressure Ziggs and force him to play cautiously.
Avoid prolonged exposure to Ziggs Q poke and respect his W for disengage.
Prioritize pushing the wave to enable safe roams and reduce Ziggs's poke leverage.

Power spikes

Talon's major spikes: level 2 (Q+W), level 6 (R), and first lethality item.
Respect Ziggs's level 6 R burst and his first completed poke item for lane control.
Talon's E is a key mobility tool but has cooldown limitations for repeated use on the same terrain.

Win conditions

Push waves quickly to deny Ziggs safe poke and create roam pressure with E.
Exploit windows when Ziggs's W is down or Q is missed to engage and burst.
Use R stealth and burst to surprise Ziggs and snowball leads before he can safely scale.

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