How to win lane as Brand against Taric · 49.31% win rate over 363 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | You out-poke a melee no-range support at level 1 with W-passive trades. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Your level-2 W-Q beats his slow Dazzle and pre-Bravado sustain. |
| Level 3 | Brand | At 3 you keep out-poking his Bravado heals from range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Through 4-5 his single-target Bastion can't cover both from your zoning. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Level-6 Pyroclasm kills through his shields before Cosmic Radiance is up. |
| First item | Brand | First-item Torch poke still out-paces his Bravado sustain. |
| Two+ items | Taric | Taric's Cosmic Radiance invuln and stacked heals negate your burst once he has items. |
You win the early exchanges. Taric is a melee support with a slow, telegraphed Dazzle stun and no ranged poke, so your W-Q combo out-trades him whenever he steps up, and your passive punishes his low resistances. Sidestep his E charge-up and he's helpless to answer.
