Read from Seraphine's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Taric.
This is Seraphine's own plan; across 2,862 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even; your poke edge offsets his sustain, so it's skill. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 your E-Q threat matches his kit, keeping it skill-based. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even as you out-poke his short-range Bravado trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a skill standoff before his ult comes online. |
| Level 6 | Taric | At level 6 Cosmic Radiance's invulnerability negates your all-in, favoring Taric. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item swings back to even as your poke and shields answer his trades. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With two-plus items your range and pick threat match his ult value, so it's skill. |
Levels 1-2 are even with a slight poke edge to you: your E root plus Q can threaten a trade while Taric is melee and pays to walk into Bravado range. Poke him and his carry from range, hit level 2 first, and deny him easy stacks before he stabilizes. He is slow, short-ranged and has to charge his stun, so poke him freely and keep the notes climbing. Hold the root for the moment the wind-up starts, shield your carry through his poke, and let your reach rather than an exchange decide a lane he cannot enter.
