Tips to maximize your impact

Engage with Powerball
Engage with Powerball (Q): your speed builds while you roll, and the impact knocks back and slows enemies around your target.
Defensive Ball Curl against autos
Cast Defensive Ball Curl (W) when you're being hit by autos: you gain armor and magic resist, and each attack returns magic damage to its attacker.
Taunt during Defensive Ball Curl
Cast Frenzying Taunt (E) during Defensive Ball Curl (W): forced to attack you, your target takes damage with every auto.
Soaring Slam while rolling
Cast Soaring Slam (R) during Powerball (Q): enemies in the center of the area also take a knock-up, and your speed extends the leap's range.

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.
