| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Level 1 is Talon's: Rake poke wins the range trade before her marks matter. |
| Level 2 | Talon | Level 2 is Talon's: your W+Q spike beats her single-use peel. |
| Level 3 | Talon | Level 3 is Talon's: baiting E opens a full combo her low mobility can't survive. |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Levels 4-5 are Talon's: on-cooldown timing lets your dashes land uninterrupted. |
| Level 6 | Talon | Level 6 is Talon's: Bladeflurry out-damages Shadow Surge when her E is spent. |
| First item | Talon | First item is Talon's: lethality bursts her before her R can reset. |
| Two+ items | Talon | 2+ items stay Talon's: on-your-terms all-ins beat a cooldown-gated defensive kit. |
Vex is immobile and her anti-dash punish is her whole identity, so read it rather than feed it. Levels 1-2 poke with Rake from range and avoid dashing into a charged passive mark; when her E is on cooldown you have the trade advantage.
