Taliyah Build
the Stoneweaver
Taliyah is a nomadic mage from Shurima, torn between teenage wonder and adult responsibility. She has crossed nearly all of Valoran on a journey to learn the true nature of her growing powers, though more recently she has returned to protect her tribe. Some have mistaken her compassion for weakness and paid the ultimate price—for beneath Taliyah's youthful demeanor is a will strong enough to move mountains, and a spirit fierce enough to make the earth itself tremble.
The most played Taliyah Mid build on patch 26.21 runs Deathfire Touch with Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Scorch, plus Legend: Haste and Presence of Mind from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Teleport. Start with Doran's Ring and Health Potion, then build Blackfire Torch, Spellslinger's Shoes and Rylai's Crystal Scepter, followed by Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap and Cryptbloom. Max Q (Threaded Volley) first, then E (Unraveled Earth), then W (Seismic Shove). It has a 50.2% win rate and a 1.4% pick rate.
