How to win lane as Annie against Talon · 50.69% win rate over 1,239 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Annie | Level 1 favors you because Disintegrate already threatens damage before Talon has any all-in tools online |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is a skill check as he starts weaving Rake but still lacks a clean kill threshold |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays a skill matchup — whoever manages stealth timing and cooldowns better wins the trade |
| Levels 4-5 | Annie | Level 4-5 favors you since your combo is now lethal on his thin HP before his damage output ramps up |
| Level 6 | Annie | Level 6 favors Talon because Shadow Assault lets him vanish and reposition around your stun mid-fight |
| First item | Talon | First item favors you as your burst punishes his stealth reveal before he can finish his combo |
| Two+ items | Annie | 2+ items favors you because your point-and-click stun-Tibbers combo outclasses his short-burst assassin pattern with no follow-up |
Level 1 favors you since Disintegrate punishes his approach before he has any combo pieces online, but levels 2-3 become a genuine skill check as he starts weaving Rake resets and looking for all-in windows through the jungle path, so cooldown management on both sides decides these trades.
