I really like jungle Taliyah, because just like Ezreal, I think it fits her thematic better. It's also very fun to play and sometimes the reactions of the enemies when they get stomped by a Taliyah jungle is really funny.

Notice: I usually go CDR boots instead, but decided to build tabi cuz the entire enemy team were AD. Last item either or

I Always start at Blue buff, because I need the mana especially in early game.

My jungle order is usually Blue > Wolves > Raptors > that crab in the river > red buff I do that order, because I use smite either at blue or on wolves depending on the leash I get and I definitely need smite for red, so I kill the crab to get health back, kill time for smite to recharge and grant vision in the river for my bot or toplane.

After getting red buff I usually try to counter gank, because I finish red at the time most enemy junglers are about to gank, so I will be there to assist my laner and often get a kill out of it.

Afterwards I clear jungle camps whenever I see them to reach level 6 to get the ultimate gank power.

How I gank:

Taliyah works quite fine in jungle if you know how to play her, but is not and probably will never really be meta. Little tip: when doing the first raptor camp, use your trinket to ward your red buff, it happened a few times to me that the enemy jungler waited at my red to cheese me. Despite being played as the jungle role, she is still a mage and that means she is squishy. Be aware of your positioning and never try to fight enemies alone. She is - after all - a teamplay based champ.

Disclaimer: Do NOT try this in ranked before you played it 10 - 20 times in normal games with great success.
