Read from Aurelion Sol's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Talon.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Talon's wall-vault burst combo threatens a fast kill while you have no ranged answer yet |
| Level 2 | Talon | His mobility and reset damage continue to outpace your kit through this stage of the lane |
| Level 3 | Talon | His all-in threat and terrain-assisted engage remain unanswered heading into your level-6 spike |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Same dynamic continues — his burst-and-mobility kit still outclasses your pre-6 toolkit |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Shadow Assault hides his approach on 100s while your one answer, Falling Star, is on 120s |
| First item | Aurelion Sol | Your item power spike lets your sustained damage start outracing his single-target burst kit |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | By two items your scaling and zone control clearly surpass his flank-dependent playstyle |
This lane is dangerous for the first five levels — Assassin's Path costs Talon nothing, so any unwarded wall is a free entry, and Noxian Diplomacy leaps the last 575 for a critical stab. Rake is 9 seconds at rank 1 and the returning blades carry most of the damage, so stand off the return line. Ward the walls, farm at 750, and never sit low enough to be worth the jump.
