New super fun and strong Taliyah build

I know these were all normal games, but fact is they're all wins. I will play this more often to get into it and bring it into ranked when I can. I got inspiration in Reddit.com/r/Taliyahmains Someone said he once played Taliyah with Righteous Glory, Youmuss, Boots, Ludens, Lichbane and Deadmans plate, so I decided to create my own build. https://i.gyazo.com/98fbd628e7cc1296f5b153038c447f1d.png item 3030 >item 3009 /item 3117 >item 3285 >item 3742 >item 3800 >item 3151 https://i.gyazo.com/9dae90979f557f1fb1f749feabdd8e06.png

I had alot of fun playing this build. You're a really fast and your engages are even faster, thus I call this build "Sports car Taliyah". You build GLP into boots into Ludens, this way your early game won't be that much affected of the damage loss of this build. You go for Deadmans plate to stack up that wonderful movementspeed while being a bit tanky. Righteous Glory is so underrated, it works really good on Taliyah, because she is a control mage, her utility matters really much, with righteous glory nobody will flee from your engages. Last but not least. Liandry for some extra damage, you can go for rylais or some other magic damage item, depending on what you need.

Downside of this build is that you're really vulnerable early game, as you have no armor/mr runes. You won't deal really high damage, but the point of this build is to survive and to kite the enemies/hunt them down. You will still be able to fight other mages and adc's as you're tankier and still deal good damage with Thunderlords and Ludens. It would be good to have another ap champ in the team, best would be if it was a brand/annie support or something the likes, to make up for your loss in damage.

It seams that Taliyah main have discover the power of gravity assist Maneuvers. and anyone who play KSP would call that build "Rock potato" or "ROCKet Potato". now, go throw rocks at Hypersonics speeds my children, you will soon learn what 1/2 Mass * velocity² means.

I understood half what you said [slayer-jinx-catface] But it sounds funny

"the power of gravity assist Maneuvers" just google it. in quick terms: when you use gravity to go even faster or slower.

"rock potato" asteroids look like potatoes, are really, really, really fast. and is "space rock"

Hypersonic: Gnar W is Hyper, and rammus looks like sonic. if you get the two working on high speed regimes, you just got hyper sonic. in IRL is: at least 5 times faster that Sound.

why glp over rylai's?

Active provides more damage to make up for the lack of it in the build.

Also, item 3010 passive helps a lot in tankier mage builds.

Basically what WoonStuck said. The passive gives you 15% of the damage you receive as mana and using spells heals a bit hp. Besides that, the active is great and rylais is not strong anymore.

Very Hard Engage1 votes

KDAs are quite low and you dont really pop off...

you can do better with the traditional build.

This is meant to be a fun build. Not necessarily the most meta.

I like to build Lichbane on Taliyah. You can auto while casting the long version of Q (and during W and E), and it's neat to weave that empowered auto into your combo.

Yeah lichbane is a good item on paper, but I myself don't like it too much. It is too risky to be in the range to auto attack, so you would get hit by getting off the lichbane autoattack.
