Taliyah middle build
Stats
Lore
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.
Abilities
Taliyah gains movement speed near walls.
Taliyah throws a volley of missiles in a target direction, moving freely as she does. This works the ground below her. If Taliyah casts Threaded Volley on worked ground, she only throws one missile.
Taliyah causes an area of ground to erupt and throws enemies within in a direction of her choosing.
Taliyah creates a slowing minefield that explodes if enemies dash through it or are pushed/pulled through it.
Taliyah creates a very long wall and then surfs it.
