The jungle race — the windows in Warwick's plan

Read from Warwick's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Taliyah.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearWarwick DominantEternal Hunger sustain means you win any fight where both sides arrive off full camps. Threaded Volley on worked ground still chunks melee contests, and before either of you has a second camp down that is not an answer. Take the level-1 crossing and make Taliyah path away from the camps you want.
Level 2 SkirmishWarwick DominantBlood Hunt (W) attack speed plus Q healing out-sustains every trade pattern. There is no version of this Taliyah wins right now — boulder-field poke plus the W shove keeps duels at their range, and that folds on the second camp. Show on their side of the river and take the second buff and the tempo that comes with it.
Level 3 RouteWarwick DominantPrimal Howl (E) damage reduction caps an early kit with no real counter-trade. Later in the game this bites, because a W toss into a stunning boulder field bursts you at every choke point. But as the first scuttle timer lands none of it is online, so take the level-3 river fight and tax every camp Taliyah concedes.
Levels 4-5 MacroWarwick Dominant — Keep FightingLevels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Taliyah, and she uses 4-5 to shove waves and cross the map, with worked ground making her the faster rotator. Sit in their river, take both scuttles, and tax the camps they concede.
Level 6 BreakpointInfinite Duress FavouredInfinite Duress suppression plus Blood Hunt frenzy ends any duel that starts below full, while Weaver's Wall splits the map. You win the breakpoint against Taliyah, not the whole game — cash it on the first objective after both sides hit six.
First Item SpikeBotRK / Stride SpikeBlade of the Ruined King or Stridebreaker turns your already-strong dueling into outright stat-check dominance, with percent-health shred and stick potential layered onto your healing. Your camp clear accelerates sharply, letting you full-clear and still arrive for every river fight. Force extended skirmishes around objectives where nobody on their team can out-trade you 1v1. Taliyah's first item makes the volley-into-shove combo a real burst instead of chip damage from range.
2+ Items ScalingRespect Taliyah Late — End EarlyTaliyah out-stats you from two items on — stop taking straight 1v1s, close through objectives and picks, and keep the game on a clock.

How to beat Taliyah as Warwick: the first clear and pathing

Start either buff with Q sustain — you need no leash and end the opening camps near full health. Note Taliyah's starting side from lane leashes; your level 3 is strong enough that you can path toward them rather than away if you spot their entry point. Taliyah clears very fast with Threaded Volley on worked ground and rotates faster than almost anyone off her passive.
