Alistar vs Taric

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to threaten (W)+(Q) engages and deny Taric's linked stun angles.
Use your engage to set up burst trades with ADC follow-up before Taric's sustain kicks in.
Prioritize short, sharp all-ins over extended fights where (R) and sustain excel.

Trading pattern

Engage from brush with (W)+(Q) only if your ADC can immediately follow and burst.
Punish (E) or (W) cooldowns by forcing quick trades before Taric can shield or stun.
Avoid engaging when (R) is active or your ADC is too far back to capitalize.

Danger windows

Respect (E) linked stun angles near his ADC and the protective (W) shield.
Avoid engaging when (R) invulnerability is available, as it negates your burst.
Losing brush control makes your engages predictable and easier for Taric to counter.

Early game

Win the level 2 race to unlock your (W)+(Q) combo and pressure Taric's ADC.
Hold brush control to create surprise engage angles and punish Taric's attempts to position.
Avoid using (W) before confirming ADC follow-up or needing to peel from Taric's engage.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your full (W)+(Q) engage combo, enabling strong all-in windows with ADC.
Level 3 adds (E) stun, increasing your peel and trade threat around brush control.
Level 6 (R) lets you ignore burst and secure tower dives; coordinate with ADC and jungler.

Win conditions

Use brush control and (W)+(Q) engages timed with ADC follow-up to deny Taric ADC access.
Leverage your level 6 (R) to enable tower dives or peel your ADC through Taric's extended fights.
Punish Taric's positioning by forcing trades and denying extended fights outside his shield range.

Tip: For Alistar vs Taric, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
