He dives a champion who hops, stealths, and exits through her own ult — slippery, but only if the W stays banked.
Track: Talon's W — Rake (9–7s cooldown). The boomerang return is most of his lane damage — stand off the return line.
Read from Aurora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Talon.
This is Aurora's own plan; across 2,114 pooled games the lane is leaning Talon.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | His engage is a telegraphed wall vault into a 575 leap, so hold Across the Veil for that moment and dodge the burst. |
| Level 2 | Aurora | His E-Q-AA combo still needs that same wall commitment, letting your dash deny most of his early kill attempts. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | He remains reliant on a single all-in read through the wall, which your poke and repositioning continue to punish. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aurora | His damage is real but he still has no answer to your kite once you dodge the initial burst, keeping trades in your favor. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Between Worlds gives you an exit his Shadow Assault cannot chase — the blades only converge where he reappears, so leave before they do. |
| First item | Aurora | Your poke damage at range now outclasses his burst spikes, since he needs a completed Youmuu's to reliably threaten kills. |
| Two+ items | Aurora | Once his wall-vault escape is used, he has nothing left to survive a real fight, letting your mobility and burst punish his commitment. |
Talon's all-in is telegraphed: he has to vault a wall with Assassin's Path, and the wall he uses goes on a long cooldown, so hold Across the Veil for that exact moment. Poke from 900 whenever he steps to the wave, and break contact before his third Wound stack meets an auto — that Blade's End bleed is most of his damage.
