How to win the jungle race as Talon against Evelynn · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Talon's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Evelynn.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Talon Dominant | The Noxian Diplomacy bleed wins short trades at shared entrances, while pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle. Only one of those wins at the first buff, so press it: take the level-1 crossing, then leave with a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Talon Dominant | Rake's return damage makes mid-range poke trades free for you. Pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and with one camp still up on both sides that is not an answer. Take the level-2 skirmish and make Evelynn path away from the camps you want. |
| Level 3 Route | Talon Dominant | Wall-hop pathing means you only pick fights when the numbers favor you. There is no version of this Evelynn wins right now — pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and that folds at the opening scuttle. Show on their side of the river and take the first scuttle and the gank window behind it. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Talon Favoured — Take Duels | You hold the edge at 4-5, not a blowout. She is still farming for six and cannot contest anything she does not out-number, so meet them where the camps are, not where their laners are. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Evelynn's R | The six-spike belongs to Evelynn, and Talon's does not bridge the gap: from six on she is invisible — every face-check is a charm into Last Caress. Buy sweepers, hug control wards, and never path alone through her quadrant. Your own ultimate is a tool here, not a trump card — spend it to escape or equalize, not to start fights. |
| First Item Spike | Profane Hydra Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage and movement multiplier that completely overpowers traditional squishy or isolated targets. Evelynn's first item plus camouflage is the spike that flips the matchup — the charm rotation starts killing outright. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Danger — Evelynn Outscales | You lose the long game outright: she is invisible and lethal, and every unswept corridor is a charm into a delete, and no build path of yours answers that. Convert every early lead into an objective immediately. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff camp utilizing your area-of-effect Rake to maximize early clear speed. Evelynn clears slowly and unhealthily before six, so her early pathing is usually the safest, longest route she can take.
