Taliyah vs Viego

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's faster clear and worked ground to reach river scuttles early and punish Viego's pathing through choke points.
Prioritize controlling river vision to leverage (W) displacement and (E) zone control against Viego's camouflage and reset threat.

Jungle Plan

Path camps to maintain worked ground and approach river chokes where (W) and (E) can punish Viego's dash and camouflage.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald setups using (R) to create numbers advantages and cut off Viego's escape routes.
Track Viego's first gank attempts and shadow volatile lanes to counter-gank and deny his reset chains.

Danger windows

Beware of early river fights where Viego can use (E) camouflage and (W) stun to initiate resets.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Viego's reset can turn the tide.
Be cautious when lanes lack priority, as Viego can capitalize on isolated skirmishes or invade safely.

Early game

Start with a full clear that preserves worked ground to maximize clear speed and enable early river pressure.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to assist in securing takedowns and vision.
Avoid isolated fights early before level 6 when Viego's reset potential is low but dueling strength can punish overextensions.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks Taliyah's map pressure and pick potential; use this to force skirmishes where you can isolate Viego before he resets.
First completed mage item boosts poke and wave control, enabling safer objective setups and pressure on Viego's jungle.
Respect Viego's level 6 (R) and first fighter item spikes by avoiding extended fights without lane support or vision control.

Win conditions

Convert faster clear tempo into early river control and vision dominance to deny Viego resets and objective access.
Use (W) and (E) in river choke points to punish Viego's approach and force him out of contested areas.
Leverage (R) for cross-map pressure, enabling side-lane plays and forcing Viego to split resources, opening objective windows.
