Bard vs Taric

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to threaten (Q) wall stuns and create ADC follow-up windows.
Prioritize crashing waves before roaming to keep ADC safe from Taric's all-in.
Maintain river vision to leverage (E) roam paths and pressure mid or dragon setups.

Trading pattern

Trade with meep autos and look for (Q) stuns from brush when (E) is down.
Hold (W) to heal ADC through Taric's poke and sustain damage.
Use (R) to isolate Taric or his ADC only with confirmed ADC follow-up.

Danger windows

Respect Taric's linked (E) stun range combined with his ADC's commit.
Beware of (R) invulnerability timing; avoid forcing fights during its duration.
Watch for Taric and ADC engaging inside (W) shield range to punish ADC access.

Early game

Track level 2 to contest with (Q)+(W) trades only if ADC can follow.
Deny Taric brush access to reduce his linked (E) stun angles.
Crash wave with ADC before roaming to avoid exposing them to Taric's engage.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(W) for stronger trades; use to pressure before Taric links (W).
Level 3 enables (E) roams; crash wave first to safely impact mid and vision.
Level 6 (R) can start picks or stall dives; use with ADC ready to follow up or disengage.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) stuns into ADC poke windows and denied enemy positioning.
Roam safely after wave crashes to pressure mid and secure river vision for dragon.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages or stall enemy engages, enabling favorable teamfights.

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