Swain vs Taric

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (E) root from brush angles to set up ADC follow-up and zone Taric's engage.
Control brush to deny Taric's linked (E) stun angles and protect your ADC's positioning.
Prioritize river vision to track Taric's roam timer and prepare for dragon setup.

Trading pattern

Threaten (E) only when your ADC is ready to follow up on rooted targets.
Hold (E) and (R) to punish Taric's engage attempts and sustain through his (Q) healing.
Deny Taric brush access to reduce his stun angles and force disengages before your ADC trades.

Danger windows

Respect Taric's linked (E) stun angles when your ADC is exposed or out of position.
Avoid extended fights during (R) invulnerability window to prevent losing burst follow-up.
Beware when your (E) misses, as Taric can punish with his sustain and linked peel.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by landing (E)+(Q) combo when your ADC can commit immediately.
Hold brush control early to threaten pulls and prevent Taric from safely linking (W) shields.
Crash waves with your ADC before roaming to avoid exposing them to Taric's stun and sustain.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E)+(Q) pull trades that pressure Taric before he links (W).
Level 3 adds (W) slow and vision, improving your poke and zone control against Taric.
Level 6 (R) grants sustained drain and zone control, overpowering Taric's delayed (R) invulnerability.

Win conditions

Convert (E) roots into burst kills by coordinating with your ADC's damage output.
Deny enemy ADC positioning by controlling brush and forcing fights outside Taric's linked (W) range.
Use river vision and roam timing post-wave crash to secure dragon and extend lane pressure.

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