Viego vs Talon

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Viego should leverage his medium early pressure and strong dueling to contest skirmishes where lanes can assist in securing the first takedown.
Focus on playing around resets in fights to snowball and convert kills into objective control, especially in river fights.
Avoid isolated early fights before item power spikes and rely on lane support to maximize gank and counter-gank impact.

Jungle Plan

Path towards lanes with strong lane priority to secure first takedown skirmishes and leverage (W) stun for focused engages.
Fight for first Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and provide support to avoid Talon's high burst and roam potential.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to force Talon into team fights where your reset potential can dominate over his burst.

Danger windows

Be cautious of isolated river fights before your reset threat is active, as Talon's burst and stealth (R) can punish overcommitment.
Avoid low-health clears and forced smite fights early, where Talon can capitalize on your vulnerability.
Respect (E) terrain mobility and level 6 ultimate window to prevent getting caught out without backup.

Early game

Prioritize a stable first clear that reaches scuttle crab in time to contest only when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades without lane priority or reset threat, as Talon's high mobility and burst can punish isolated fights.
Use (E) camouflage to approach river fights stealthily and set up ganks or counter-ganks with lane assistance.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for executes and repositioning, allowing Viego to start reset chains; look for fights where one low target can be finished.
First fighter item completion increases sustained dueling and reset cleanup, enabling longer fights around lanes that can follow up.
Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo is a threat; respect this early window by avoiding overextension without cooldowns or lane support.

Win conditions

Convert skirmishes where you secure the first takedown into objective control around dragon and Rift Herald using reset threat.
Use (E) camouflage and (W) stun to create gank angles with lane priority, snowballing leads through kills and vision dominance.
Deny Talon's roam impact by tracking his ultimate cooldown and punishing him post-(R) to maintain map control and scaling advantage.
