Viego should play for river skirmishes where lanes can assist securing the first takedown to trigger resets and snowball.
Avoid isolated fights early before item power spikes and lane priority are established to reduce risk against Taliyah's poke and displacement.
Prioritize controlling river vision and objective setups to leverage Viego's strong dueling and reset potential against Taliyah's zoning control.
Jungle Plan
Prioritize pathing through lanes with strong CC to assist in setting up (W) stuns and reset chains for objective fights.
Contest first Scuttle only if lane priority and vision support it; otherwise, focus on safe farming and tracking Taliyah's river movements.
Use resets from skirmishes around dragon or Rift Herald to force objectives and deny Taliyah's scaling and map control.
Danger windows
Early river fights before level 6 and item power spikes are risky due to Taliyah's poke and displacement tools.
Avoid isolated skirmishes where Taliyah can use (E) and (W) to zone and disrupt dashes without lane support.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Taliyah has pushed mid and can use (R) to flank or cut off escape paths.
Early game
Start clear paths that allow timely arrival to river for first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to contest or secure it.
Avoid early invades before level 6 and first fighter item when Taliyah's poke and displacement can punish isolated fights.
Shadow lanes with strong CC to maximize counter-gank potential and capitalize on Taliyah's medium invade resistance.
Power spikes
Level 6 (R) unlocks execute and repositioning, enabling Viego to finish low-health targets and chain resets; look for fights where one takedown can start a cleanup.
First fighter item completion increases sustained dueling and reset threat, allowing longer fights around lanes with priority to convert kills into objectives.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 (R) window for map plays; avoid extended fights during this time unless supported by strong vision and lane control.
Win conditions
Use strong skirmishing around river with lane assistance to secure first takedowns and trigger resets for snowballing.
Convert reset chains into objective control on dragon and Rift Herald by leveraging vision and lane priority.
Track Taliyah's movements and punish overextensions or cooldown windows on (W) and (E) to deny her map pressure and scaling.
