Read from Soraka's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Taric.
This is Soraka's own plan; across 1,512 pooled games the lane is leaning Soraka.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even: melee Taric must walk into your ranged Q poke to do anything. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even: no stun-backed all-in yet for either support. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even: his Starlight heal trades evenly with your W sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even: without a landed E he has no burst to break the poke war. |
| Level 6 | Taric | Level 6 favours Taric: Cosmic Radiance invulnerability wins any all-in he opens. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even again: outside his ult his slow melee kit matches your poke. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items in it's skill-based: long R cooldown means ult timing and ADC scaling decide it. |
Levels 1-2 are even: Taric is a melee who needs to walk up for autos and land a telegraphed Dazzle (E) through minions to threaten anything, so you poke him freely with Q and heal it with W. Keep the wave from sitting on your side so his E can't sneak a stun. He is slow and short-ranged, so land the star on every approach and let the heal pay for itself. Keep the silence for the moment his stun starts charging, and hold the wave near your side so he never reaches a position where his healing outlasts yours.
