How to beat Taliyah

Common role: Jungle / Mid

A stoneweaver whose worked ground and wall reroute entire fights.

What makes Taliyah dangerous

Taliyah machine-guns stone volleys (single boulders on worked ground), pushes enemies off a seismic knock-up field, throws them backward over her rock wave, and her ultimate raises a MASSIVE wall across the map — cutting reinforcements, escapes and objectives in half.

How to play against Taliyah

• 1Fight her on worked ground (the rocky trail) — her Q loses most damage there.
• 2The W-E combo needs a beat of aim — dash through or juke the flip.
• 3Her wall can trap HER team too — punish greedy walls.
• 4Gank her mid pre-6: thin waveclear windows leave her exposed.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Q damage collapses on worked ground.
• ✓Squishy with a movement-based escape only.
• ✓The wall is irreversible — misplaced, it loses fights.
• ✓Falls off when fights leave her prepared zones.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Taliyah's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Felsensurfer

  Taliyah erhält in der Nähe von Wänden einen Lauftempobonus.

  Strong: rides rock walls with big move speed for roams. Weak: mounts only near walls out of combat — irrelevant mid-fight.

• Q
  Steinsplitterhagel

  Taliyah schleudert eine Salve von Steinen in Zielrichtung und kann sich währenddessen frei bewegen. Unter ihr entsteht dadurch ausgearbeiteter Boden. Wenn Taliyah „Steinsplitterhagel“ auf ausgearbeitetem Boden wirkt, verbraucht sie diesen und schleudert einen stärkeren Felsbrocken, der Gegner verlangsamt.

  Strong: a five-stone volley that shreds on full connect. Weak: leaves WORKED GROUND where Q fires one weak stone — fight her on her own trail.

• W
  Seismischer Stoß

  Taliyah lässt einen ausgewählten Bereich des Bodens explodieren und wirft Gegner, die sich dort befinden, in eine Richtung ihrer Wahl.

  Strong: a knock-up field she aims to throw you ANY direction. Weak: a beat of aim delay — dash through during the arrow drag.

• E
  Aufgetrennte Erde

  Taliyah erschafft ein verlangsamendes Minenfeld. Wenn Gegner durch dieses springen oder gestoßen werden, explodieren die Minen und die Gegner werden betäubt.

  Strong: a rock minefield that detonates on dashes through it. Weak: punish champions without dashes barely notice it — walk, don't dash.

• R
  Terradukt

  Taliyah beschwört eine sehr lange Mauer herauf und surft auf dieser entlang.

  Strong: a MAP-SCALE wall that cuts reinforcements and escapes. Weak: cast greedily it strands her own team — punish bad walls instantly.

Itemization

Drag fights onto her own worked ground, respect the wall timing windows, and dive her squishy frame.
