Taric vs Xerath

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to deny Xerath poke angles and enable your ADC's forward movement.
Link with your ADC to threaten stun angles and sustain through Xerath's poke.
Prioritize engage windows where your ADC can follow up before Xerath's poke punishes.

Trading pattern

Link (W) on your ADC and threaten (E) stun angles to force Xerath back.
Hold (R) to counter Xerath's burst poke and enable extended fights.
Avoid fighting outside (W) range to maintain peel and engage safety.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun as his key self-peel and disengage tool.
Avoid extended fights when (R) ultimate is active due to long-range follow-up.
Beware of Xerath's poke before you reach melee range or link with your ADC.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with your ADC to establish early engage pressure.
Deny Xerath brush control to reduce his poke and stun setup opportunities.
Coordinate wave crash timing to create safe roam windows or vision setups.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q) heal plus (E) stun for strong all-in threat.
Level 3 (W) linked angles maximize your engage and peel potential.
Level 6 (R) provides invulnerability, forcing Xerath to disengage or lose fights.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and linked stuns into denied enemy ADC positioning.
Use (R) timed with your ADC's engage to secure favorable 2v2 fights.
Set river vision and prepare dragon when your ADC has lane priority and Xerath's poke is on cooldown.

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