| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 2 | Talon | Level 2 is Talon's: your W+Q spike arrives while he still has zero self-peel. |
| Level 3 | Talon | Level 3 is Talon's: full WQ combo plus bleed chunks an immobile mid with no escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Levels 4-5 are Talon's: you dictate every trade and can roam on his missed card. |
| Level 6 | Talon | Level 6 is Talon's: your Bladeflurry deletes him before Destiny can save him. |
| First item | Talon | First item is Talon's: a lethality spike one-shots a squishy TF from full. |
| Two+ items | Talon | 2+ items stay Talon's: you win every side duel and can shadow his global roams. |
Twisted Fate has no early pressure, no dash, and no shield, so levels 1-2 belong to you. Poke with Rake as he last-hits, and the instant he uses a card or steps for a melee minion, punish with a WQ trade that leaves your bleed ticking.
