Taliyah vs Ivern

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's faster clear and worked ground to reach river first and contest Scuttle or set up early vision control.
Prioritize pathing through river chokes to leverage (W) and (E) for punishing Ivern's low dueling and limited mobility.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize river control and vision to deny Ivern's unusual camp routes and buff-sharing tactics.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around Dragon and Rift Herald when lanes have priority.
Counter-jungle camps when Ivern's pathing delays his pickups, but avoid fighting him alone due to his utility and escape options.

Danger windows

Be cautious during early Scuttle contests without lane priority, as Ivern can use team support to collapse.
Avoid isolated river fights where Ivern's (Q) root and (R) knockup can turn fights against you.
Low-health clears near enemy vision or without Smite ready increase risk of losing camps or forced fights.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that preserves worked ground for efficient movement and early level 3 power.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support river fights and avoid isolated duels.
Avoid direct early invades unless you have vision and lane priority to prevent being collapsed on by Ivern and teammates.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for Taliyah, increasing map pressure and enabling picks or objective setups; use this window to force plays.
First completed mage item boosts Taliyah's clear and poke, allowing more confident pressure on camps and river control.
Ivern's utility scaling peaks later, so prioritize early tempo and objective control to deny his influence.

Win conditions

Convert faster clears and worked ground control into early Scuttle and objective vision to pressure Dragon and Herald.
Use (W) and (E) in river chokes to punish Ivern's limited mobility and set up ganks or counter-ganks.
Leverage (R) for cross-map plays and to isolate Ivern or his teammates during grouped objective fights to secure leads.
