Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Taliyah's superior sustained damage and wave control, but you can punish her positioning mistakes with Q-E-passive combos.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R, turning the matchup in your favor if you can land Q.
How to Trade
- Focus on short Q-E-auto trades when Taliyah uses Q on minions, then immediately back off to avoid her W-E retaliation.
- Your goal is to preserve health pre-6 and look for all-in opportunities once you have ultimate available.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed in early and focus on farming safely under tower while looking for jungle assistance.
- After 6, use your superior range and burst to control side lanes and river fights rather than trying to match Taliyah's roam speed.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when Taliyah is in range to punish you, as losing your primary self-peel tool often results in taking a full W-E combo.
- Avoid face-checking brushes or river areas where Taliyah can land easy W setups without minion interference.
