How to win lane as Soraka against Taric · 53.77% win rate over 783 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| 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.
