Taliyah vs Elise

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's efficient clear and (R) to secure early river control and punish Elise's aggressive early ganks.
Prioritize pathing that preserves worked ground to maintain mobility and avoid Elise's burst and (E) stun threat.

Jungle Plan

Sequence camps while maintaining worked ground to enable quick rotations and skirmishes.
Contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Elise's lethal early gank setups.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Elise to respond rather than dictate tempo.

Danger windows

Respect Elise's level 3-6 window when (E) cocoon and rappel enable lethal early ganks and dives.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Elise can collapse quickly with high early gank threat.
Be cautious contesting objectives when low on health or without smite ready to prevent forced unfavorable fights.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid extended fights early unless Elise's (E) cocoon is on cooldown and your lanes can collapse for counter-ganks.
Use (R) to assist side lanes or secure river control after first clear to offset Elise's early pressure.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling impactful side lane and river plays to convert map pressure into objective control.
First completed mage item enhances (Q) poke and wave control, allowing safer pressure and rotations.
Level 3 grants full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to punish Elise's forward movement, but hold (W) and (E) for high-confidence trades.

Win conditions

Convert efficient clears and worked ground control into early river dominance and contested Scuttle crabs.
Use (R) to assist lanes with (W) displacement setups, punishing Elise's dives and enabling picks before objectives.
Deny Elise free farm and early leads by tracking her pathing and counter-jungling when her early pressure cooldowns are down.
