Tips to maximize your impact

Start with Shield Vault
Start your trades with Shield Vault (W): you leap onto your target and stun them, so Comet Spear (Q) can't miss.
Thrust or throw
Tap Comet Spear (Q) for a short thrust that refunds part of the cooldown, or hold it to throw your spear farther.
Raise your Aegis against burst
Raise Aegis Assault (E) against enemy burst: you ignore damage from that direction, except from towers.
Roam with Grand Starfall
Roam with Grand Starfall (R): you leap from long range onto the chosen area, and the spell instantly readies Mortal Will (passive).

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.
