Talon vs Zyra Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Zyra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 12 recent matches analyzed, Zyra wins with a 75.0% win rate compared to Talon's 25.0%, giving Zyra a 50.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Talon controls the early laning stage, but Zyra outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Talon needs to press advantages before Zyra reaches their power spikes, while Zyra should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Zyra leads by 1.4s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Zyra has a strong advantage in this matchup. Talon players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Zyra overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

1.6Zyra
Zyra brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, with 1.4 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Zyra far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
870Talon
491Zyra

The early game (first 15 minutes) is a toss-up between Talon and Zyra, with Talon holding a razor-thin 50.0% win rate edge (+0.0%). Individual skill and jungle proximity will matter more than champion advantage in the early laning phase.

Zyra is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 87.5% win rate — 75.0 points above Talon. Extended games heavily favor Zyra, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Talon has the edge early, but Zyra gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
