How to Beat Taric as Lulu (Support)

While statistically Lulu is slightly stronger than Taric as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Lulu deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Taric has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Lulu is superior vision control (ranked 7th among supports) (versus 47th for Taric), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.8 versus 3.2) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Lulu Support versus Taric Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Lulu player to maintain constant pressure on Taric, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Lulu tips:

  • Glitterlance can be fired at odd angles depending on where your cursor is - Moving your cursor closer to Pix and Lulu will change your area of effect size considerably.
  • Consider casting Help, Pix! on ranged attackers for the Pix boost and Wild Growth on Tanks or Fighters for the added initiation power.

Playing Against Taric

  • Taric's ultimate, Cosmic Radiance, has a long delay before its effect. Try to quickly assess whether to disengage the fight or attempt to kill his allies before it goes off.
  • Taric reduces his spell cooldowns by basic attacking enemies with Bravado. Try to kite him in teamfights and punish him for approaching the minion wave in lane.
