Taliyah vs Irelia

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Taliyah aims to control mid wave with Q poke and punish Irelia's dashes through E and W setup.
Manage lane pressure by denying Irelia safe minion waves for Q resets to limit her all-in potential.

Trading pattern

Trade short with Q poke, then punish Irelia if she dashes into your E zone or gets displaced by W.
Respect Irelia's Irelia E stun and Irelia R slow; avoid committing when these are up.
Avoid trading if W and E are down or if Irelia has Q resets available on minions.

Danger windows

Irelia is most dangerous when she has Irelia E or Irelia R marks enabling Q resets.
Avoid extended trades when Irelia has passive stacks and low-health minions for resets.
Be vulnerable if W and E are on cooldown or if you push without vision and get collapsed on.

Early game

Use Q to poke and maintain spacing early, holding W and E to punish Irelia's forward movement or dash attempts.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 when W and E are available to punish dashes.
Push wave safely to create roam opportunities and avoid giving Irelia reset paths on low-health minions.

Power spikes

Taliyah's major spikes: Level 6 R for map plays and first mage item for poke.
Irelia's major spikes: Level 2 with Irelia Q and Irelia E access and Level 6 Irelia R for stronger all-ins.
Respect Irelia's power spikes by playing cautiously around her stun and engage windows.

Win conditions

Control wave with Q and punish Irelia's dashes through E and W to deny her all-in windows.
Use level 6 R to create roam pressure and force Irelia to respond, relieving lane pressure.
Maintain safe spacing and avoid giving Irelia reset paths on minions to limit her threat.

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