Aurora vs Taliyah

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use burst and mobility to find picks when Taliyah mispositions or wastes cooldowns.
Maintain medium lane pressure to contest Taliyah's wave control and limit her roam potential.
Avoid extended trades early; focus on punishing cooldowns and farming safely until power spikes.

Trading pattern

Start trades by casting (Q), follow immediately with (E) for reposition and burst, then reactivate (Q).
Punish Taliyah quickly after she wastes (W) or (E) before she resets zone control.
Avoid trading right after using (W) due to lack of quick escape and vulnerability.

Danger windows

Respect (W) displacement and (E) slow when available; they punish dashes and forward movement.
Avoid committing trades immediately after using your (W) since you lose quick escape options.
If Taliyah pushes and leaves lane, hard push to punish her roam and secure plates.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 since (E) is easy to dodge and Taliyah punishes mobility mistakes.
Trade with (Q)+(E) combo only when (W) and (E) are on cooldown or missed.
Prioritize farming and look for pick windows over sustained poke exchanges.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants high mobility and burst; use it for picks, roams, or defensive resets.
First completed AP burst item boosts damage and trade reliability; pressure waves and trades more confidently.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 (R) for increased map pressure and potential roams.

Win conditions

Use superior burst and mobility to pick off Taliyah when her (W) and (E) are down.
Contest mid pressure to deny Taliyah safe roams and wave control.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to snowball leads through aggressive picks and roams.
