Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Taric.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 794 pooled games the lane is leaning Taric.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Level 1 favours you: ranged E-Q poke against a melee, stat-check Taric. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Level 2 is yours: you spike to two abilities and abuse his melee range. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens to skill as Dazzle and Bastion give him trade tools. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill: exchanges hinge on dodging his two-part stun. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Level 6 favours you: your R and poke still out-threaten his short-range engage. |
| First item | Hwei | First item stays yours: item poke overwhelms a melee support before his scaling. |
| Two+ items | Taric | 2+ items go to Taric: Cosmic Radiance and auras scale past your poke window. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Taric is a melee stat-checker with only a slow, chargeable Dazzle (E), so you shove, hit 2 first, and poke freely with E-Q while he can't retaliate at range. Punish every walk-up before he stacks Bravado. He is a melee stat-checker with one chargeable stun, so poke him off the wave and let your carry farm freely. Pick the subject before he winds up rather than after. Watch the mana bar, because his healing turns a slow poke war into one you cannot finish.
