Nautilus vs Taric

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to threaten (Q) hook angles and deny Taric's linked stun setup.
Prioritize engage windows where your ADC can immediately follow your lockdown chain.
Use lane pressure to create thin waves, enabling safer hooks and roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Threaten engage from brush with (Q) and hold (R) to lock down targets who can dodge your hook.
Avoid engaging into large minion waves that block your hook angle and reduce ADC follow-up.
Save peel and (W) shield for enemy engage or to protect your ADC during (R) invulnerability.

Danger windows

Respect (E) linked stun angles from himself or his ADC, especially near brush or fog.
Avoid committing when (R) invulnerability is available, as it negates burst and engage.
Beware enemy ADC fighting inside (W) shield range, increasing their sustain and damage.

Early game

Win the level 2 race to layer (Q) hook and passive root for early ADC kill pressure.
Deny Taric brush control to prevent his (E) stun angles and linked (W) shield synergy.
Coordinate wave crash timing with your ADC before roaming to avoid leaving them exposed.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your hook plus passive root combo, enabling strong all-in windows with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants (W) shield and (E) slow, improving your engage safety and peel potential.
Level 6 ultimate (R) guarantees lockdown on key targets, forcing fights or punishing Taric's delayed (R).

Win conditions

Convert brush control and hook pressure into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Use (R) to initiate fights with guaranteed follow-up from your ADC or to peel during (R).
Secure river vision and dragon setup after wave crashes to enable safe roams and objective control.
