How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his return W

Do not get hit by the return of his Rake — trade into him only when he's already used W on the wave.

Care his all-ins

Respect his level 2 and 6 all-ins — good Talons take Ignite and invade you early, and you can't outrun him.

Outvalue him

He's a bad jungler in general — if he doesn't get kills you outvalue him, so deny him and scale.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to outrun him when he invades — you can't; keep your W ready to evade instead.
