Mage / Battlemage
Beginner Rule
Avoid using dashes through Unraveled Earth (E) — her minefield ability — whenever possible.
Taliyah is a control mage who excels at punishing mobility and controlling terrain. She wants to fight around Unraveled Earth (E) — her anti-dash minefield — while controlling fights from range. Many beginners dash through her E and take massive damage.
Level 3 – Full combo available.
Level 6 – Weaver's Wall unlocks roaming and map control.
First Item – Burst and poke become much stronger.

Roaming
Terrain control
Burst combos
QWhat it does
Throws a volley of rocks dealing damage. On Worked Ground throws a slower but stronger slowing boulder.
How to play against
She deals full damage on her first cast. After that she's on Worked Ground and her Q is weaker — she'll reposition to non-worked ground.
WWhat it does
Causes the ground to erupt throwing enemies in a direction she chooses.
How to play against
She can throw you into terrain. Sidestep the eruption — it has a brief delay before launching.
EWhat it does
Creates a slowing minefield. Dashing or being knocked through it triggers explosions stunning you.
How to play against
Never dash through her minefield. Walk around it carefully.
RWhat it does
Creates a massive wall and surfs it. The wall can split the map.
How to play against
The wall persists for a long time splitting the map. Watch where she places it — it cuts off retreats and creates flanking opportunities.
W → E → Q
Standard burst combo.
Wall → Roam → Pick
Creates map pressure.
E → Punish Mobility
Counters dash champions.
Rock Surfing: when near walls she surfs them gaining significant Move Speed. She's fast near terrain — fight her in open areas not near walls.
