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 Viktor

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Leave his field before 1.25 seconds

    Get out of Gravity Field (W) right away: the zone slows, and an enemy who stays in it for 1.25 seconds is stunned.

  2. Engage after his Gravity Field

    If you can engage, go in after Gravity Field (W): it's his only stun, on a 17 to 13 second cooldown, and he has no dash.

  3. Play hard before his upgrades

    Get ahead early: for every 100 Hex Fragments he gets from kills, Glorious Evolution (passive) permanently upgrades one of his spells. His staff's glow shows how far along he is.

  4. Leave his storm fast

    Get out of Arcane Storm (R) fast: it hits every second and follows the champions it just damaged on its own.
