| Level 1 | Even / skill | Threaded Volley (Q) out-ranges you, making level 1 an even poke-spacing fight. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 her Seismic Shove (E) peel keeps trades a skill coinflip. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays skill-dependent on dodging her E and worked-ground zoning. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 neither snowballs by default; it hinges on her poke vs your dodges. |
| Level 6 | Yone | At 6 your E engage beats her Weaver's Wall (R), which can't save a duel. |
| First item | Yone | First item crit tempo closes the gap and out-DPSes her ranged poke. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two items in you outscale a poke-and-disengage mage with R pick and W shred. |
Levels 1-5 play as a skill matchup (Skill): Taliyah's Threaded Volley (Q) out-ranges your Mortal Steel and lets her chip your CS, while Seismic Shove (E) can shove you out of an all-in or peel a gank. Dodge the E, respect her worked-ground zoning, and only walk up when her Q stacks are down. Whoever handles the E timing and poke spacing better takes the early lane, so farm patiently and don't force through her range.
