How to win lane as Taric against Hwei · 51.68% win rate over 714 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei's level-1 Q kit out-ranges and out-pokes your entire kit while your heal only refunds mana-costly chip. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At 2 Hwei's QQ/QE combo spikes harder than your single-target stun, so he controls the trade. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Level 3 gives Hwei his full Q toolkit and W pool, keeping you zoned out of E range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Through 4-5 Hwei's poke and disengage still dictate the lane and you can't force an all-in. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Even with your ult, Hwei out-ranges your engage setup and keeps the fight at his distance. |
| First item | Hwei | At first item Hwei's poke still edges the lane before your tankiness and stun reliability catch up. |
| Two+ items | Taric | Two items in, Radiance and your chain-stun engage overwhelm his squishy long-range profile. |
Hwei owns levels 1-3. His Q suite (QQ execute-scaling, QW pool, QE zone) out-ranges and out-damages everything you have, and your Q heal only refunds part of the poke at a heavy mana cost. Don't try to trade back at range; you can't. Hold your E for when he oversteps or your jungler shows, ward his flanks, and keep passive stacks up so your ADC has healing to survive the chip.
