Throwing a single rock at someone might hurt them, but forcing a whole wall to break into someone would be lethal.

Taliyah is the stone controller, and she is one of the strongest choices in TFT since the season has started as she deals massive damage not only to one enemy but to all those standing in the way of her ability.

This is a full article on how to best place the lethal stone master Taliyah to make sure you keep your enemies off the walls.

The desert's beauty lies beneath the sand.

Taliyah demonstrates how powerful ability power rotating teams can be by sharing two of the most important traits that every ability power centred champion should have: spellslinger and star guardian.

Taliyah’s skill is one of the strongest AOE damage skills in the game, as she can deal damage to everyone standing in her path, especially those who are standing back there in the corner that your other champions can’t reach.

If you are looking for builds that can certainly knock off your enemies and guarantee you first place, you are in the right place to be guided on the best builds, items, and synergies for Taliyah.
