Overview

Prioritize controlling river and scuttle to limit Taliyah's roam and gank paths.
Use Zyra's strong crowd control to punish Taliyah's medium dueling and invade resistance.
Focus on brush control and vision to deny Taliyah's objective setups and map pressure.

Jungle Plan

Path for early Scuttle control only if nearby lanes can move first and support counter-ganks.
Prioritize invading Taliyah after she uses (W) and (E) to reduce her zone control and escape options.
Use Zyra's root and plants to punish Taliyah's predictable movement around jungle choke points and objectives.

Danger windows

When Taliyah has (W) and (E) available, avoid isolated river fights in narrow chokes.

Win conditions
