Taliyah vs Cassiopeia

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Taliyah controls the lane by punishing Cassiopeia's limited mobility with W and E setup combos.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Cassiopeia extended trades where she can stack E damage.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and only commit W and E when Cassiopeia moves into your zone or dashes forward.
Punish missed Cassiopeia Q to disrupt her poison application and reduce her sustained damage.
Avoid extended trades if Cassiopeia’s W is up, as it blocks mobility and punishes dashes.

Danger windows

Be cautious when W and E are down; Cassiopeia can force trades with sustained E damage.
Avoid facing Cassiopeia during her R window to prevent stun or slow.
Cassiopeia's W grounds dashes; do not engage when it is available and active.

Early game

Use Q to poke and control wave early while holding W and E for punishing Cassiopeia's forward movement.
Avoid extended trades until level 3 when W and E combo becomes available.
Watch for Cassiopeia's Cassiopeia W to ground dashes and avoid committing during its cooldown.

Power spikes

Taliyah's level 6 R unlocks strong map pressure and roaming potential.
First completed mage item boosts Taliyah's poke and wave control.
Respect Cassiopeia's level 6 R which can stun if you face her during all-ins.

Win conditions

Control mid wave with Q and punish Cassiopeia's forward movement using W and E.
Push wave safely to create roam opportunities with R and apply map pressure.
Deny Cassiopeia extended trades by forcing her to miss poison application and avoid her W zone.

Tip: For Taliyah vs Cassiopeia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
