How to win lane as Anivia against Talon · 50.37% win rate over 1,334 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Talon's brush-jump burst combo punishes Anivia's lack of escape before level 6, giving him the early edge. |
| Level 2 | Talon | He keeps threatening the same all-in window through level 3 while your kit is still cooldown-locked. |
| Level 3 | Talon | Same story at level 4 — his dive threshold continues to outpace your trading potential. |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Levels 4-5 remain his since his assassination burst and roam pressure still outvalue your kit before Storm. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Glacial Storm coming online lets you finally punish his dive attempts reactively, flipping the lane. |
| First item | Anivia | Your kiting and Storm zone control keep dominating his dive-reliant kit in skirmishes. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Full-build Anivia's teamfight area control and burst clearly out-scale Talon's single-target assassination kit. |
Talon's W lets him leap from any nearby brush or wall into an instant burst combo, and since your kit has no hard escape before level 6, this is one of the scariest early windows against you. He wants to poke with Rake, wait for a mistake, then all-in from stealth-adjacent positioning, so ward every brush near mid and never stand still without vision. Play for safe CS and avoid extending past minions where his jump range threatens a full trade.
