Rakan vs Taric

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to threaten (W) engage angles and keep (E) ready for peel or follow-up.
Prioritize quick engages with ADC follow-up to punish Taric's low mobility and linked stun delays.
Maintain river vision to enable roaming and prevent Taric from setting up extended fights with (R).

Trading pattern

Engage with (W) only when ADC can follow up immediately and (E) charges remain for peel or retreat.
Hold (E) shield to protect ADC from (E) stun or burst during extended trades.
Deny Taric brush control to limit his stun angles and reduce enemy ADC's all-in potential.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun angles when linked to ADC, especially from brush or fog.
Avoid fighting during (R) invulnerability window to prevent wasted cooldowns and lost trades.
Beware of enemy ADC committing inside (W) range, as Taric's linked shield enables extended fights.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by syncing (W) knockup with ADC damage before Taric links (W).
Use early brush control to deny (E) stun angles and protect ADC access to the wave.
Crash wave after level 3 to create roam windows while ensuring ADC safety from Taric's linked stun.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(E) combo for strong engage; use it to force Taric's cooldowns early.
Level 3 adds (Q) heal/poke, increasing lane pressure around brush control and ADC follow-up.
Level 6 (R) charm enhances all-in threat; coordinate with ADC and river vision for clean engages.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and engage cooldowns into ADC access denial and favorable 2v2 fights.
Roam after wave crashes with vision setup to pressure mid and secure dragon control.
Use (R) charm to initiate teamfights with ADC follow-up, denying Taric's peel and forcing disengage.
