Vi vs Talon

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Vi's high early pressure and strong dueling let her contest river and force picks before Talon can leverage his roam threat.
Prioritize lockdown ganks and objective control to snowball early leads and deny Talon's map mobility.

Jungle Plan

Full clear or three-camp path depending on lane priority, then pressure lanes where (Q) ganks can force enemy summoners.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lanes can follow, using (R) lockdown to secure picks before dragon or Herald.
Track Talon's position to counter-gank his roams and deny him free objective access or cross-map tempo.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when (R) is available, as his burst and stealth can punish overextensions.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Talon's burst can outpace Vi's dueling.
Respect Talon's early level 2 (Q)+(W) combo timing to prevent getting caught out before Vi's cooldowns are ready.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early ganks where (Q) can force flashes.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to support river fights.
Avoid extended early invades without lane help, as missing (Q) or lane collapse can punish Vi's medium invade resistance.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for guaranteed lockdown picks, enabling strong post-6 ganks and objective setups.
Early level 3 with (Q) allows Vi to win skirmishes and invade safely before Talon completes lethality items.
Talon's level 6 (R) burst and stealth require Vi to respect his all-in window and hold defensive tools for counterplay.

Win conditions

Use early ganks with (Q) and (R) lockdown to create picks that convert into dragon and Rift Herald control.
Deny Talon's roam opportunities by maintaining river vision and counter-ganking his predictable pathing.
Leverage Vi's objective control and dueling strength to snowball leads and force Talon into reactive play.
