| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Taliyah | Taliyah's combo threat and roam potential edge the level 1 lane her way |
| Level 2 | Taliyah | She continues building pressure with poke and roams at level 2 |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | Her stun-root combo becomes a real kill threat by level 3 |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Levels 4-5 stay hers as her mobility lets her roam while punishing your lane |
| Level 6 | Taliyah | Her level 6 wall-zoning adds another layer of control that favours her in skirmishes |
| First item | Kassadin | Her first item sustains her roam-and-poke pattern through your own early game |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | With Riftwalk stacks your burst and jump finally let you punish her positioning late |
Levels 1-2 favour Taliyah slightly less directly but her combo threat starts building — respect her Seismic Shove range and don't clump with minions where Unraveled Earth chains a stun.
