How to win lane as Hwei against Talon · 48.25% win rate over 2,597 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Your poke range punishes his melee approach attempts from level 1 with no answer available to him |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Still ahead at level 2 as he has no gap closer to force a trade safely |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Levels 3-5 you keep winning direct exchanges thanks to superior range and stun punish |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Continued advantage as his all-in threshold isn't met without landing a Rake reset first |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | His Assassinate flank engage is a genuine even threat depending on vision and positioning |
| First item | Hwei | You regain full control post-6 once the initial burst is dodged or blocked, resuming poke dominance |
| Two+ items | Hwei | Your combo damage keeps pace with his burst into the early item phase, favoring careful play |
Talon needs to walk into blade-throw range to start his combo, and your poke punishes that approach hard at levels 1-2 — most Rake attempts just eat a Q or E in return. He's a lane bully against melee champs, not ranged mages with your reach, so as long as you respect his all-in threshold and don't overextend past minion range, you keep winning early trades comfortably.
