Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Nautilus wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Talon's 50.0%, giving Nautilus a 0.0 percentage point advantage.

Farming
0.9Nautilus
1.1Talon
Nautilus and Talon farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
559Nautilus
684Talon
Talon heavily out-damages Nautilus by 126 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nautilus should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Talon's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,307Nautilus
11,627Talon
Talon generates a commanding 1,320 more gold per game than Nautilus. This substantial economic advantage means Talon consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Nautilus should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
2.1Nautilus
0.3Talon
Nautilus brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, with 1.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nautilus far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Talon should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,600Nautilus
1,000Talon
Nautilus vastly out-sustains Talon, healing and mitigating 600 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nautilus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Talon is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Talon, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
