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 Udyr

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his stun

    Once Blazing Stampede (E) has stunned you, take your trade: he can't stun you again for a while.

  2. No CC while he's awakened

    If you have CC, don't use it when he awakens Blazing Stampede (E): he's immune to immobilizing effects then. Wait for the effect to end.

  3. Stay away from his storm

    Keep your distance from Wingborne Storm (R): it damages and slows nearby enemies every second, and once awakened, it follows the last enemy he hit.
