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 Nidalee

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her javelin

    Dodge Javelin Toss (Q), especially from range: its damage grows with distance, and a javelin that hits empowers her cougar spells against you.

  2. Back before you get too low

    Back before your health gets too low: in cougar form, Takedown (Q) deals more damage to targets that have already lost health.

  3. Ward the brush in your jungle

    Ward the brush and entrances of your jungle early on: Prowl (passive) speeds her up there, especially when she's heading toward a visible champion.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive her first minutes, play for time: Nidalee looks to get ahead through early ganks and invades.
