Taliyah vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's faster clear speed and worked ground to reach river early and secure Scuttle or vision control before Evelynn can respond.
Prioritize river choke paths to leverage (W) and (E) against Evelynn's weak early dueling and low invade resistance.
Focus on mid-game map pressure and objective control, as Evelynn's early pressure is low but her post-6 pick threat is high.

Jungle Plan

Path camps to maintain worked ground and maximize clear speed while positioning for early river control.
Invade Evelynn's jungle early only if lanes have priority and Evelynn is on the opposite side to punish her weak early clears.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around dragon or Rift Herald when lanes can pressure, then force objectives or skirmishes.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 as Evelynn can collapse with stealth and charm for lethal picks.
Beware low-health clears where Evelynn can invade and force smite fights when your cooldowns are down.
Respect Evelynn's post-6 stealth flank pressure around objectives and pushed lanes without adequate vision control.

Early game

Start with a full clear that preserves worked ground for efficient movement and faster access to river scuttles.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have priority to support counter-ganks or safe contests.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes can move first to minimize risk against Evelynn's counter-invades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling impactful cross-map plays and forcing picks before objectives; track this window to capitalize.
First completed mage item increases poke and wave control, allowing stronger pressure on Scuttle and objective setups.
Level 3 grants access to (Q), (W), and (E), enabling punishes on Evelynn's predictable movement through choke points.

Win conditions

Convert faster clears and river control into early Scuttle and dragon vision dominance to limit Evelynn's pick potential.
Use (W) and (E) in river chokes to punish Evelynn's pathing and force her into unfavorable fights.
Leverage (R) to assist side-lane pressure and secure Rift Herald, snowballing map tempo and denying Evelynn safe farming and picks.
