| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 3 | Even / skill | Taliyah's wall-mobility keeps trades close through level 3 without tipping decisively. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even as both champions rely on poke and positioning rather than all-ins. |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Ekko's R gives the first real dueling power spike at level 6, tipping the lane your way. |
| First item | Ekko | Your first item's burst and resonance procs let you punish her lack of sustained damage. |

Levels 1-5 are a close skillshot-and-wave-management contest — Taliyah's Q-W combo and wall mobility let her poke and reposition safely, but neither of you has a clear all-in advantage yet, so trades stay even and the lane is decided more by roams and jungle pathing than raw kit power.
