Overall, Taliyah sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karthus. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change may demonstrate that Karthus does not provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Taliyah is played with Karthus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Karthus. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Karthus.

Is Taliyah better when played alongside Karthus?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Taliyah that will no matter what be her ideal synergy. However, overall, Karthus is a not very good companion for Taliyah. By being on the same side as Taliyah, he decreases their win rate by -2.4% to 46.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Taliyah and Karthus that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Karthus has a greater difficulty than Taliyah. That means you need to be very careful when arranging Karthus allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting alongside, Taliyah players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Together, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by bringing Taliyah and Karthus together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates a great deal of attack damage. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Karthus ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
