Ability details
Rock Surfing
Taliyah gains Move Speed near walls.
Passive — never cast
Threaded Volley
Taliyah throws a volley of rocks in a target direction, moving freely as she casts. This creates Worked Ground below her. If Taliyah casts Threaded Volley on Worked Ground, she consumes the ground to throw a stronger boulder that slows enemies.
Cost 55/60/65/70/75 ManaCooldown 7/6/5/4/3sRange 1000
Seismic Shove
Taliyah causes an area of ground to erupt and throws enemies within it in a direction of her choosing.
Cost 40/30/20/10/0 ManaCooldown 14/12.5/11/9.5/8sRange 900
Unraveled Earth
Taliyah creates a slowing minefield. If enemies dash through it or are knocked through it, the mines explode and stun them.
Cost 90 ManaCooldown 14sRange 950
Weaver's Wall
Taliyah creates a very long wall and then surfs it.
Cost 100 ManaCooldown 180/150/120sRange 2500/4500/6500

Counter plan — how to beat Taliyah
Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip
Track the roam — it is strongest where the enemy jungler already is
Punish the cooldown — Taliyah is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 5/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Methodology
- Data window
- 512,340 games on patch 26.16, Ranked Solo/Duo, NA. Last refreshed 20 Aug 2026.
- Rank aggregation
- Emerald+ and above, pooled. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
- Role assignment
- A champion is filed under the lanes it actually plays, not the one class it belongs to — which is why several appear in two.
- Counters
- A matchup, not a tier gap: how this champion does into that one specifically, over that pairing’s own games.
- Minimum sample
- The confidence indicator beside every rate is driven by how much of the window this champion appears in. A low reading means read the figure loosely, not that it is wrong.
- Why a build is not a cause
- The best-scoring build is the one the best-placed players happened to take. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying those items caused the wins.
- Where the numbers come from
- Names, classes, lanes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates are derived samples — Riot publishes none of them, and nothing on this page presents one as measured.
