Taric vs Nautilus

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Prioritize brush control to limit Nautilus's hook angles and protect ADC access.
Use linked (W) shield to enable ADC follow-up and sustain through Nautilus's engage.
Prepare to use (R) preemptively in extended fights to counter Nautilus's burst and lockdown.

Trading pattern

Link (W) to your ADC and threaten (E) from both sides of brush to zone Nautilus.
Hold (R) until enemy burst or Nautilus's engage is committed to maximize peel and sustain.
Avoid fighting outside (W) range to maintain stun angles and ADC follow-up potential.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) hook range from brush before stepping up to avoid forced root and follow-up.
Watch for (R) ultimate engage, which cannot be sidestepped and threatens immobile ADCs.
Beware when Nautilus controls brush and wave is thin, increasing his hook and passive root threat.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and only contest wave if ADC can follow your (E) stun threat.
Deny Nautilus brush control early to reduce his hook pressure and protect your ADC's positioning.
Coordinate with ADC to crash wave safely before roaming or warding river vision.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) heal plus (E) stun, enabling stronger all-in windows with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 (W) linked shield angles expand engage and peel options around brush control.
Level 6 (R) grants invulnerability, forcing Nautilus to disengage or lose fights.

Win conditions

Convert brush denial into safe ADC access and force Nautilus to miss hooks.
Use (R) with ADC follow-up to win extended fights and secure dragon or lane priority.
Ward river to track Nautilus's roam timer and prevent mid pressure or objective setups.
