The jungle race — the windows in Sejuani's plan

Read from Sejuani's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Talon.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearRespect TalonThe Q-W bleed burst plus wall-hop angles start fights you never saw coming — Sejuani has no answer to that at level 1. The Noxian Diplomacy bleed wins short trades at shared entrances on their half of the map too, so skip the level-1 crossing and answer the pressure cross-map.
Level 2 SkirmishRespect TalonRake's return damage makes mid-range poke trades free for them, and Sejuani has no clean answer to it on the second camp — the Q-W bleed burst plus wall-hop angles start fights you never saw coming. Ward the over-wall paths — his burst needs surprise to actually finish the job, and give up the second buff rather than the kill.
Level 3 RouteRespect TalonThe window at the opening scuttle belongs to Talon: wall-hop pathing means they only pick fights when the numbers favor them. Your own line is real — your kit wins ganks and team skirmishes, not raw buff-pit 1v1s — but it arrives second here. Ward the over-wall paths — his burst needs surprise to actually finish the job, then give up the level-3 river fight.
Levels 4-5 MacroRespect Talon — Path OppositeYou lose the 4-5 duel. He wall-hops through 4-5 into lanes that have pushed, and the Rake slow closes every remaining gap — so let them have that half of the map and cash the other half faster.
Level 6 BreakpointEven Ult WindowShadow Assault stealth plus converging blades burst anyone they touch, and Glacial Prison answers it almost exactly. Decide this one on setup — vision, numbers and cooldowns — not on the ultimate comparison.
First Item SpikeSunfire Aegis SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive area-of-effect burn and health multiplier that completely overpowers traditional physical brawlers in extended fights. Talon's first item is the point where the bleed rotation goes from a heavy chunk to a full kill on a squishy.
2+ Items ScalingSejuani Favoured at Full BuildTwo items on, the edge is yours. The one thing to plan around is that he removes an isolated carry and leaves over a wall before anyone reacts — take that away and the fight is a formality.

How to beat Talon as Sejuani: the first clear and pathing

Start your clear at the Raptors or Wolves camp utilizing your Winter's Wrath to maximize early AoE clear speed. Talon clears fast with Rake and Noxian Diplomacy bleeds, and the wall-hops mean his path is shorter than yours.
