How to win lane as Anivia against Taliyah · 47.86% win rate (794 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
A wave-clear war you eventually win — survive her range early, then R erases waves while your stun threatens her face.
Track: Taliyah's W — Seismic Shove (14–8s cooldown). The shove into Unraveled Earth is her whole setup — sidestep it and the burst whiffs.
Read from Anivia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Taliyah.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Taliyah | Taliyah's 1000-range Threaded Volley outpokes your static trading pattern, and it is back up every 7 seconds. |
| Level 2 | Taliyah | She keeps controlling the poke exchange through level 3 while your kit is still cooldown-locked. |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | Level 3 completes Seismic Shove into Unraveled Earth — a stun combo you have no dash to leave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Levels 4-5 remain hers since her roam and poke pressure still outvalue your kit before Storm. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Glacial Storm coming online gives you the zone control to finally answer her poke pattern, flipping the lane. |
| First item | Anivia | Your kiting and Storm zone control keep dominating her mobile-poke kit in skirmishes. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Full-build Anivia's teamfight area control and burst clearly out-scale Taliyah's poke-and-roam kit. |
Taliyah's 1000-range Threaded Volley and her Seismic Shove into Unraveled Earth stun let her control the trading pattern before you have any tools to answer. She has no wall to travel on until level 6, so pre-6 she simply poke-and-holds you off CS — ward river, play for farm, and step up only when her 14s W is spent. Never last-hit standing on Worked Ground she has already marked.
