Talon vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 16 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 62.5% win rate compared to Vi's 37.5%, giving Talon a 25.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vi controls the early laning stage, but Talon outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vi needs to press advantages before Talon reaches their power spikes, while Talon should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Vi leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Talon players can confidently pick into Vi and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Vi away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
1.1Talon
0.9Vi
Talon and Vi 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
764Talon
670Vi
Talon heavily out-damages Vi by 94 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Vi 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.

15,697Talon
14,031Vi
Talon generates a commanding 1,666 more gold per game than Vi. This substantial economic advantage means Talon consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.2Talon
1.0Vi
Vi provides 0.7 seconds more crowd control per minute than Talon, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Vi coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
1,018Talon
1,305Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Talon, healing and mitigating 288 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi 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.

Best Talon Build Against Vi

Ionian Boots of Lucidity is the optimal boots choice against Vi, providing the mobility and stats Talon needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Talon against Vi are Edge of Night, Umbral Glaive and Youmuu's Ghostblade.

Vi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Talon. This lopsided early game means Vi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Talon is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 80.0% win rate — 60.0 points above Vi. Extended games heavily favor Talon, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Vi must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Talon reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Talon survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
