Taliyah vs Fiddlesticks

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's superior clear speed and worked ground control to secure early river presence and deny Fiddlesticks safe farming paths.
Leverage (R) for cross-map pressure and objective control to outmaneuver Fiddlesticks's post-6 ambush reliance.

Jungle Plan

Path toward side lanes with strong lane setup to maximize (W) displacement and (E) zone control for ganks and counter-ganks.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lanes can assist, using (R) to create numbers advantages before dragon or Herald.
Sequence camps to maintain high clear speed and tempo, enabling early rotations to contest key objectives and deny Fiddlesticks scaling.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Fiddlesticks can capitalize on his ultimate ambush.
Exercise caution contesting objectives without vision control, as Fiddlesticks's (R) can turn fights instantly.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights are risky; maintain healthy clears and avoid overextending without lane priority.

Early game

Prioritize a smooth full clear that maintains worked ground to enable quick river access and early Scuttle contests.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid isolated fights against Fiddlesticks's level 6 threat.
Avoid early direct invades before level 6; focus on tracking Fiddlesticks's clear and preparing counter-ganks with lane setup.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for impactful cross-map plays and objective control; use this window to force picks or secure vision dominance.
First completed mage item strengthens wave control and poke, increasing pressure on camps and lanes before Fiddlesticks can respond.
Level 3 grants full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to punish enemy movement; hold (W) and (E) for confirmed enemy commits to maximize impact.

Win conditions

Convert faster clear and worked ground control into early river dominance to secure Scuttle and dragon vision.
Use (W) and (E) to punish Fiddlesticks's predictable movement through choke points and deny his pathing.
Leverage (R) for roams and cutting off enemy escapes to snowball lanes and secure Rift Herald or dragon fights with numbers advantage.
