Taliyah vs Qiyana

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Taliyah controls the lane by using Q poke and punishing Qiyana's dashes with W and E to prevent her burst trades.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Qiyana easy access to terrain for her R and element setups, forcing her into less effective trades.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and only use W and E when Qiyana commits or dashes into your E zone.
Punish Qiyana's E cooldown by stepping forward for short trades when it is down.
Avoid trading if Qiyana has chosen the correct element and is near terrain for her R threat.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Qiyana's R is up near terrain or river, as she can stun and burst.
Avoid extended trades when W and E are on cooldown, as Qiyana can punish with her mobility.
Hard push and ping danger if Qiyana roams, as she can impact river fights and side lanes.

Early game

Use early Q poke to chip Qiyana while holding W and E to punish her E dash when she commits.
Avoid extended trades without W and E ready, as Qiyana's burst and mobility are strong at level 3.
Keep wave control to enable roaming or river pressure before level 6.

Power spikes

Level 6 is a major spike for Taliyah to control fights with R and map pressure.
First completed mage item improves Q poke and wave control, increasing lane dominance.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 spike when she gains full Q-W-E combo and dash for burst trades.

Win conditions

Control mid wave with Q and punish Qiyana's dashes through E and W setups.
Deny Qiyana access to terrain and river fights to reduce her R impact.
Use wave pushes to create roam opportunities and apply map pressure after punishing her cooldowns.

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