Who Wins
- You lose early trades to Taliyah's superior range and poke damage, but post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R enabling flanking angles and all-in potential.
- Your scaling advantage becomes apparent once you complete your first item and can match her waveclear.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using E-Q when she steps up for CS or Q poke, then backing off to avoid extended trades until you have R for all-in potential.
- Look for opportunities to flash-W when she's overextended, as your full combo can secure kills from surprising ranges.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and matching her waveclear once you have lost chapter, then use R to match her roaming or create superior flanking opportunities.
- Prioritize scaling over early aggression, as your mid-to-late game teamfight impact far exceeds hers.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase Taliyah through unwarded areas where she can use W to knock you into her team or terrain, and avoid fighting on worked ground where her Q damage is reduced.
- Don't waste R for minor roaming opportunities when you could save it for game-changing teamfight flanks or escapes.
