Taliyah vs Kindred

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use your faster clear and worked ground to reach river scuttles first and contest Kindred's marks when lanes have priority.
Control river choke points where (W) and (E) maximize zone control and punish Kindred's dash-reliant pathing to deny objective access.

Jungle Plan

Track Kindred's path and invade when lanes can assist or counter-gank to deny marks and scaling.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around dragon or Rift Herald fights and cut off Kindred's escape routes.
Prioritize river control and vision to deny Kindred safe access to marks and force unfavorable skirmishes.

Danger windows

Respect early marks contests where Kindred's ranged dueling and mobility can collapse with lane priority.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane support, as Kindred's (Q) mobility and (R) fight reset punish overextensions.
Be cautious in low-health clears or forced smite fights near objectives; ensure vision and lane priority before committing.

Early game

Start with a clear path that preserves worked ground for efficient camp sequencing and quick river access to contest marks.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid overextending against Kindred's strong early marks pressure.
Avoid isolated duels in open jungle; path through choke points where (W) and (E) punish Kindred's mobility.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), increasing map pressure and gank threat; use this to force picks or objective control before Kindred scales.
First completed mage item boosts poke and wave control, enabling safer invades and objective setups.
Denying Kindred early marks is crucial to limit their late-game scaling and ranged DPS threat.

Win conditions

Convert clear speed and worked ground control into early river dominance to secure or deny marks and dragon priority.
Use (W) and (E) in choke points to zone Kindred during objective setups and force favorable teamfights.
Leverage superior objective control and map pressure post-level 6 to snowball leads and prevent Kindred's scaling marks from becoming a threat.
