Galio vs Taric

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (W) and (E) to control engage angles and protect your ADC from Taric's linked stun.
Deny Taric brush control to limit his stun setup and reduce enemy ADC follow-up.
Push or hold mid-wave to enable timely roams with (R) for side fights or dragon control.

Trading pattern

Layer (W) taunt and (E) knock-up to punish enemies stepping too close, enabling ADC damage.
Hold (W) and (E) to peel for your ADC when Taric's linked stun threatens engage.
Avoid using (E) without a clear hit or escape plan to maintain engage and peel options.

Danger windows

Respect Taric's level 2 linked stun and heal combo that enables committed fights.
Avoid fighting inside (W) shield range where he maximizes ADC protection.
Watch for (R) ultimate timing, which forces disengage or punishes overcommitment.

Early game

Contest level 2 only if your ADC can follow up on your (W) and (E) engage threat.
Prioritize brush denial early to prevent Taric from landing surprise (E) stuns.
Use wave state to create ADC access and prepare for a roam after crashing the wave.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W) and (E) for short trades and peel; use this to pressure Taric's lower engage range.
First durability or AP item boosts your survivability, allowing safer trades and more confident wave pressure.
Level 6 (R) significantly increases your map impact; use it for confirmed all-ins, roams, or defensive resets.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into ADC access by denying Taric brush and stun angles.
Roam safely after wave crashes using (R) to impact mid or side fights and secure dragon vision.
Use (W) and (E) layered CC to create follow-up windows for your ADC in extended fights.
