Vi's high early pressure and strong dueling let her contest river and force early fights against Taliyah's medium invade resistance.
Prioritize early ganks and level 6 lockdown to capitalize on Taliyah's medium early game pressure and scaling reliance.
Manage vision around river and objectives to avoid getting caught by (R) map plays and displacement (W).
Jungle Plan
Path toward lanes where (Q) ganks can force flashes and create pick opportunities before objectives.
Contest river vision and Scuttle when lanes have priority to secure dragon and Herald control.
Track Taliyah's first clear and (R) usage to time counter-ganks and invade when her displacement (W) and zone control (E) are down.
Danger windows
Avoid fighting in narrow river choke points where Taliyah can punish with (W) displacement and (E) anti-dash zones.
Be cautious contesting objectives when low on health or smite is down, as Taliyah's zoning can force unfavorable skirmishes.
Respect (R) window for map pressure; avoid isolated river fights when her ultimate is available to prevent numbers disadvantage.
Early game
Start with a three-camp clear if early lane ganks are promising to reach level 3 quickly for strong skirmishes.
Fight for first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to support river control and avoid being collapsed on.
Avoid extended invades without lane priority as missing (Q) or lane collapses can punish Vi's medium invade resistance.
Power spikes
Level 6 unlocks Vi's (R) lockdown, enabling guaranteed picks and objective setups; use this to force fights before Taliyah's major item spike.
Vi's high clear speed allows early level and tempo advantages; leverage this to pressure objectives and invade before Taliyah scales.
Taliyah's first completed mage item increases her poke and map pressure; respect her improved wave control and avoid prolonged fights after this point.
Win conditions
Use early ganks and level 6 lockdown (R) to create picks that convert into dragon and Rift Herald control.
Deny Taliyah free farm by invading camps when lanes have priority and her displacement (W) and zone control (E) are on cooldown.
Leverage superior dueling and objective damage to force fights around vision control, snowballing leads into mid-game map dominance.
