Read from Taric's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
This is Taric's own plan; across 794 pooled games the lane is leaning Taric.
| 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. Nothing you own trades at his distance, so stay put and let your ADC take the minions in safety. Keep the link up preemptively, spend heal charges on the chip rather than saving them, and hold the stun for the moment he commits a cast rather than forcing one.
