Tips to maximize your impact

Start trades with Counter Strike
Start your trades with Counter Strike (E): you dodge autos and take less area damage, and each dodged auto adds damage to the stunning counterattack.
Look for long trades
Look for long trades: each consecutive auto increases your attack speed thanks to Relentless Assault (passive).
Ward hop to escape
To escape, place a ward and jump to it with Leap Strike (Q): it can target any unit or ward, allied or enemy.
Activate your R up close
Activate Grandmaster-at-Arms (R) up close: it only grants armor and magic resist if it hits a champion, and your bonus hits then land every other auto.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Don't cross her minefield
When Unraveled Earth (E) is on the ground, don't cross it with a dash or get thrown through it by Seismic Shove (W): the stones explode under you and stun you.
Engage after Seismic Shove
If you can engage, go in after Seismic Shove (W): without it, she has nothing left to push you back, and no dash to escape.
Knock her off her wall
If you have CC, save it for Taliyah while she surfs on Weaver's Wall (R): once immobilized, she stops surfing immediately.
