Strengths
As a support, Tara is favoured into marksman, assassin.
- With your black-hole super that pulls him out of cover you focus Stu: assassins have low HP once their dash is on cooldown.
- With your black-hole super that pulls him out of cover you focus Spike: Spike is fragile and his cactus is easy to dodge.
- With your black-hole super that pulls him out of cover you focus Bea: Bea is very weak without a charged shot.
- With your black-hole super that pulls him out of cover you focus Mico: assassins have low HP once their dash is on cooldown.
Weaknesses
Tara struggles against tank, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the support role.

Draft advice
Tara is safe enough to pick early: few open Brawlers punish this pick hard.
Works well alongside Bibi, Spike.
Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.
When not to pick
Skip Tara when the map layout works against the support role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
