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
  Surf tellurique

  Taliyah augmente sa vitesse de déplacement lorsqu'elle est près des murs.

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

• Q
  Rafale filée

  Taliyah lance une rafale de pierres dans une direction ciblée tout en se déplaçant librement. Cela crée un sol ouvragé sous ses pieds. Si Taliyah lance Rafale filée en se trouvant sur un sol ouvragé, elle consomme ce sol et lance un rocher plus puissant qui ralentit les ennemis.

  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
  Poussée sismique

  Taliyah provoque l'éruption d'une zone du sol, ce qui projette les ennemis dans la direction de son choix.

  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
  Défilage tellurique

  Taliyah crée un champ de mines ralentissant. Si des ennemis effectuent une ruée ou sont projetés par-dessus, les mines explosent et les étourdissent.

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

• R
  Mur de la tisseuse

  Taliyah crée un très long mur et surfe ensuite dessus.

  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.
