How to win lane as Taliyah against Ahri · 49.15% win rate over 1,758 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither wins level 1 outright — Q range vs Charm threat keeps it a skill check. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even; whoever lands their spell first (your Q shove or her Charm) wins the trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays balanced with both holding poke and one escape tool. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a coinflip decided by Charm dodges, not raw kit advantage. |
| Level 6 | Ahri | Ahri spikes at 6: three Spirit Rush dashes out-tempo your slower wall setup. |
| First item | Ahri | With items her mobility dodges your W knockup and passive sustain wins extended trades. |
| Two+ items | Ahri | Late, Ahri's pick potential and dash-heavy kiting give her the individual edge. |
Even lane: your Q pushes and pokes harder, but her Charm makes stepping up risky, so respect the level-1-3 Charm cooldown and last-hit safe.
