| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Taliyah | Level 1 favors you — your Q range beats her poke before she can root. |
| Level 2 | Taliyah | Level 2 stays yours since she can't trade without landing Tangle-Barbs. |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | Level 3 favors Taliyah because W cancels her Blooming-Burst-into-root combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Levels 4-5 remain yours as E zoning denies her any clean engage. |
| Level 6 | Taliyah | Level 6 stays Taliyah-favored — you respect Pop Blossom and win with held W. |
| First item | Taliyah | First item keeps you ahead through faster pushing and superior roams. |
| Two+ items | Taliyah | With 2+ items your W disengage and zone-control neutralize her root-dependent kit. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q out-ranges her early poke and she can't trade without landing Tangle-Barbs, so lay worked ground, deny her farm, and don't stand in an obvious root line.
