Who Wins

  • You lose early trades pre-6 due to Taliyah's superior range and Q poke damage, but can start winning all-ins post-6 with R engage potential.
  • Level 2 E gives you gap-close potential but Taliyah's W can interrupt your dash and leave you vulnerable.

How to Trade

  • You want to E forward, auto-Q-auto for quick trades then E back to safety, avoiding extended fights where she can land full W-E combo.
  • Save your W shield for her burst combo rather than using it for poke mitigation.

Wave Control

  • You should push early waves to prevent her from establishing zone control with Q, then look for roam timings when she backs or uses R.
  • Avoid slow pushing into her as she can easily clear waves and poke you under tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • You must not E forward predictably when her W is available, as getting knocked up leads to guaranteed E follow-up damage.
  • Don't chase her through her E field as the damage amplification makes trades heavily favor her.
