Nocturne vs Taliyah Matchup Summary

Based on 20 recent matches analyzed, Nocturne wins with a 70.0% win rate compared to Taliyah's 30.0%, giving Nocturne a 40.0 percentage point advantage. Nocturne dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Taliyah players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Damage

815Taliyah
Taliyah heavily out-damages Nocturne by 155 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nocturne should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Taliyah's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
14,363Nocturne
14,361Taliyah

Utility
6.3Nocturne
1.0Taliyah
Nocturne brings significantly more crowd control than Taliyah, with 5.3 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nocturne far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,454Nocturne
685Taliyah
Nocturne vastly out-sustains Taliyah, healing and mitigating 769 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nocturne can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Taliyah is forced to recall.
