| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | You out-poke Taric at level 1 while he must melee to threaten Dazzle. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | Level 2 your burst spike beats his step-up stun attempt. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | Level 3 you keep the ranged poke lead he cannot answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as his Dazzle trades and looming ult balance your poke. |
| Level 6 | Taric | At 6 Taric spikes: Cosmic Radiance negates your all-ins. |
| First item | Taric | First item favors Taric as Bravado resets and stun pressure dominate trades. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | Into 2+ items Whimsy and Wild Growth counter his engage, swinging it back to you. |
Levels 1-3 are yours: Glitterlance out-pokes Taric, who must walk into melee to land his Dazzle stun and has no ranged answer to your Pix-empowered autos. Punish his step-ups, keep your ADC out of E range, and you hold a clean poke lead into the mid game. He has to walk into melee to land his stun, so poke him on the approach and shield the chip he manages. Pix goes on the ADC and stays there. Hold the polymorph for the moment his wind-up starts, and push the wave while he is waiting to reach anybody.
