How to play
General
- You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
- Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
- Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
- You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
- Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.
Tips and Tricks
General
- Do not wait for 'special' moment with your Ultimate! You feel that fight is about to happen, use it early.
- 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.
- You have good engaging tools - E and R. Use it!
- Always keep auto attacking, whenever possible. Your Passive provides good damage and reduces cooldowns of your basic abilities!
Riot
- The cooldown reducing component of Bravado makes Cooldown Reduction items like Frozen Heart, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Spirit Visage exceptionally powerful on Taric.
- Using Starlight's Touch at lower charges makes its healing less Mana efficient, but can greatly increase Taric's sustained damage via Bravado.
- 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.
