Guide to Countering Azir as Taliyah

Tips for Playing as Taliyah against Azir

Remember, you don't always have to ride Weaver's Wall.

Try to throw enemies into Unraveled Earth using Seismic Shove.

Once you have Rylai's Crystal Scepter, casting Threaded Volley at enemies chasing you is a great way of making them regret everything.

Advice to Win Against Azir

Try to think of Sand Soldiers as fire. Don't stand in the fire.

Azir relies on his soldiers to deal damage and can only move them so often. Try to capitalize on windows of time when his soldiers are stationary.

Azir has immense damage over a prolonged amount of time but lacks the upfront burst of other mages. Try to burst him out before he can turn a confrontation around.
