How to win lane as Vex against Talon · 53.36% win rate over 1,964 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vex | You out-range Talon's early poke and take zero all-in risk before he has kill pressure. |
| Level 2 | Vex | Your charged Q and safe wave control keep you ahead of his level-2 Rake threat. |
| Level 3 | Vex | At 3 your E fear roots his dash and Gloom auto-arms, flipping every engage in your favor. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | Levels 4-5 you burst and cleanse with W while punishing his forced dashes with empowered Q. |
| Level 6 | Vex | Shadow Surge fears him out of engage and snipes his roams, making 6 your kill window. |
| First item | Vex | One item turns your E-Q-W into over half his health with no shield for him to answer. |
| Two+ items | Vex | Late your anti-dash lock interrupts every Talon re-engage, so you deny his picks all game. |
Levels 1-2 you shove and respect his Blade's End auto-passive; poke with Q charges from max range and never walk into bush blind, but you out-range his poke and take no all-in risk yet.
