Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and sustain, as your Q outranges Taliyah's Q and your W provides consistent poke while your passive heals you back up.
- Post-6 you lose the 1v1 as Taliyah's R creates terrain that blocks your Q while her full combo deals more burst damage than your kit can match.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q into W placement, then back off to avoid Taliyah's retaliation while your passive heals you.
- Never commit to extended trades as Taliyah's Q spam and E zone control will outdamage you in longer engagements.
Wave Control
- Push waves with W to match Taliyah's natural shoving power and prevent her from roaming freely with her R.
- Maintain minion positioning between you and Taliyah to block her Q poke while using your superior range to harass her.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E on Taliyah's Q poke as it's not a disable and the cooldown is too long to justify.
- Avoid fighting in areas with walls or terrain as Taliyah's E becomes exponentially more dangerous when she can use geometry to guarantee hits.
