Taliyah vs Neeko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Taliyah controls the mid wave with Q and punishes Neeko's forward movement through E and W setup.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Neeko safe scaling and avoid letting her use disguise and clone to create uncertainty.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q while keeping distance, then use W to shove Neeko into E for strong short trades.
Punish Neeko when she misses E or uses W/passive disguise by committing with W and E.
Avoid trading when W and E are down or when Neeko can safely dodge your crowd control.

Danger windows

Neeko's E through minions and R combo create high burst and crowd control threat.
Be cautious when W and E are on cooldown as Neeko can force extended trades.
Punish Neeko's missed E or R downtime to avoid her all-in threat.

Early game

Use Q to poke Neeko and hold W and E to punish her dashes or movement through your zone.
Avoid extended trades unless Neeko commits and is caught in your E slow or W displacement.
Control the wave to create roam opportunities and avoid Neeko's all-in windows with R threat.

Power spikes

Taliyah's level 6 R opens map pressure and roaming plays to extend advantage.
First completed mage item improves Taliyah's poke and wave control reliability.
Respect Neeko's level 6 R for burst and knock-up potential in all-ins.

Win conditions

Control mid wave with Q and punish Neeko's predictable movement with W and E.
Use level 6 R to roam and create pressure on other lanes or river fights.
Deny Neeko calm scaling by forcing short trades and punishing her cooldowns and disguise windows.

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