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 Jungle build on patch 26.21 runs Dark Harvest with Cheap Shot, Sixth Sense and Treasure Hunter, plus Coup de Grace and Legend: Haste from the secondary tree. Take Smite and Flash. Start with Scorchclaw Pup and Health Potion, then build Blackfire Torch, Sorcerer's Shoes and Shadowflame, followed by Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff. Max Q (Threaded Volley) first, then E (Unraveled Earth), then W (Seismic Shove). It has a 51.2% win rate and a 1.1% pick rate.
