Taliyah vs Ahri

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Taliyah aims to control the mid wave with Q poke and punish Ahri's forward movement through W and E.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Ahri easy Ahri E setups and limit her roam windows.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and only commit W and E when Ahri dashes or moves predictably into your zone.
Respect Ahri E by avoiding forward movement without W and E ready to punish.
Avoid extended trades if W and E are down, as Ahri can capitalize with Ahri E and Ahri R.

Danger windows

Ahri is dangerous when Ahri E is up and you lack W and E to punish or peel.
Avoid overcommitting when Ahri R is available to escape or extend trades.
Missing W or E leaves you vulnerable to Ahri E and follow-up damage.

Early game

Use Q to poke safely while holding W and E to punish Ahri's dashes or forward steps.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 to reduce risk against Ahri's high early agency and Ahri E threat.
Push when safe to create roam opportunities and force Ahri to respond, but track jungle and river carefully.

Power spikes

Taliyah's level 6 R enables map plays and roams to pressure side lanes and river.
First completed mage item improves Q poke and wave control, strengthening lane presence.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R, which increases her mobility and pick potential.

Win conditions

Control the wave with Q and punish Ahri's dashes through E and W to limit her Ahri E opportunities.
Push mid wave safely to enable roams and map pressure using R.
Exploit Ahri's cooldowns on Ahri E and Ahri R to force short trades and chip her down before she can engage.

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