How to win lane as Karma against Taric · 50% win rate over 874 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | You win level 1: Q out-ranges Dazzle and you poke before he can charge a stun. |
| Level 2 | Karma | You win level 2 first: reaching 2 lets you Q-E before his short-range all-in is online. |
| Level 3 | Karma | You lead level 3: RQ poke punishes his walk-ups and he has no ranged answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | You stay ahead 4-5: spacing outside E range keeps chunking him and his ADC for free. |
| Level 6 | Taric | Taric wins level 6: Cosmic Radiance invulnerability makes his Dazzle all-in unpunishable. |
| First item | Karma | You reclaim first item: tear keeps RQ online and you win trades between his R windows. |
| Two+ items | Karma | You win 2+ items: your poke and W root out-range his short engage once Radiance is baited down. |
You win levels 1-2: your Q out-ranges Taric's Dazzle and you can Q-E poke before he ever charges his stun. Hit 2 first, keep spacing outside his short E range, and punish every Bravado-empowered walk-up — his early kit has no way to answer your poke.
