Tristana into Taliyahmedium

Overview

Use your level 2 all-in power spike with support follow-up to force early trades.
Exploit your range and burst to punish Taliyah's limited mobility in lane.
Avoid passive wave pushing that exposes you to her poke and jungle ganks.

Respect Taliyah's displacement and anti-dash zone when engaging.
Avoid jumping into large minion waves where splash and enemy peel punish.

Push the wave to hit level 2 before Taliyah and coordinate your jump all-in with support.
Use small or crashing waves to jump safely without taking minion damage.
Reset after winning trades to convert wave pressure into turret plates.

Level 2 unlocks and for sudden all-in threat; push for this spike.
First completed marksman item increases burst and turret damage; convert recalls into plates.
Late-game range and reset potential enable safe extended fights and turret sieges.

Force early all-ins around level 2 with support to snowball lane priority.
Use stacks to pressure turret plates after winning trades or enemy recalls.
