How it works

General
  1. You support your Team providing Healing, Shielding and various Buffs.
  2. You rush Moonstone Renewer.
  3. You can peel from your carries with Exhaust.

How to play

General
  1. You need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
  2. You can get Mark (Snowball) summoner instead of Exhaust if you want to play more aggressive and to go in.
  3. You will be squishy early on, and if you don't go some tanky items later. Be careful!
  4. Your team needs to engage? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
  5. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari
  6. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  7. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
  8. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Do not wait for 'special' moment with your Ultimate! You feel that fight is about to happen, use it early.
  2. You can use your Ultimate to team fight (combined with E and just going in) or to scare off enemies or to dive under turret.
  3. You have good engaging tools - E and R. Use it!
  4. Always keep auto attacking, whenever possible. Your Passive provides good damage and reduces cooldowns of your basic abilities!
Riot
  1. The cooldown reducing component of Bravado makes Cooldown Reduction items like Frozen Heart, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Spirit Visage exceptionally powerful on Taric.
  2. Using Starlight's Touch at lower charges makes its healing less Mana efficient, but can greatly increase Taric's sustained damage via Bravado.
  3. Rather than saving Cosmic Radiance for the last moment and risking someone dying during the delay, it can be more beneficial to cast it as soon as you know a teamfight is guaranteed to start.
