Playing as Taliyah

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Throw them into your minefield

    Place Unraveled Earth (E), then throw the enemy across the stones with Seismic Shove (W): the stones explode and stun them.

  2. Pick your volley based on the ground

    Cast Threaded Volley (Q) off Worked Ground to throw 5 rocks, or on it for a single boulder that slows, costs less and has a shorter cooldown.

  3. Cut off their retreat with your wall

    Place Weaver's Wall (R) across the enemy's path to cut off their escape or split their team: its range goes from 2500 to 6500 with rank.

  4. Roam along the walls

    To roam, follow the walls of the map: Rock Surfing (passive) increases your move speed when you're near them.

Playing against Hecarim

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Leave the landing point of his R

    When he casts Onslaught of Shadows (R), move away from the end of his dash: the shockwave there fears every nearby enemy, longer after a long run.

  2. Save your CC for his charge

    If you have a slow or CC, save it for Devastating Charge (E): he gains speed as he runs, and Warpath (passive) turns it into AD.

  3. Save your burst for after his W

    Wait for Spirit of Dread (W) to end before your burst: while it lasts, he gains armor and magic resist and heals from damage dealt around him.

  4. Ward his gank paths

    Ward his gank paths: Devastating Charge (E) gains speed over time, so he looks to build momentum in the fog of war.
