Optional Summoner Spells

Heal

Heal

OK option. You can take it if you want to have another cooldown to press and more healing output.

Ignite

Ignite

Offensive option, improves your damage, gives you additional cooldown to use in fights, but reduces your healing output.

Ghost

Ghost

Improves mobility. You can chase, position and flee better. Reduces your healing output, but makes you more agile in fights.

How it works

  1. This is variation of regular Support build, oriented for healing and standing behind.
  2. You support your team by providing healing, shielding and various buffs.
  3. You rush Moonstone Renewer.
  4. You can peel from your carries with Exhaust.

Playstyle

  1. 🛡️

    Play safe and focus on supporting your allies.

  2. 💖

    Heal, shield, and buff your teammates.

  3. 🔙

    Stay back to heal and support more. Position behind your frontline.

How to play

Starter items

  1. Start with Tear of the Goddess and Bandleglass Mirror. Rush Moonstone first, then get Diadem of Songs second. Then adapt.
  2. Keep stacking your Tear! The sooner you get it, the sooner you can start healing your team and providing additional sustain.

Summoner Spell

  1. You can get Mark (Snowball) summoner instead of Exhaust if you want to play more aggressive and to go in.
  2. You will be squishy early on, and if you don't go some tanky items later. Be careful!

Adaptation

  1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
  2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
  3. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  4. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!

Countering

  1. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.

Buffing your team

  1. If your team has a lot of AP scaling champs, you can get Staff of the Flowing Water.
  2. If your team has a lot of auto attackers AND/OR melee champs, get Ardent Censer.
  3. If your team has a lot of auto attacks, you can also get Bandlepipes to increase their attack speed.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

Bravado (Passive)

  1. Always keep auto attacking, whenever possible. Your Bravado (Passive) provides good damage and reduces cooldowns of your basic abilities!
  2. Also weave abilities for even more cooldown reduction. I.e. two auto attacks - spell - two auto attacks - spell. This way you can reduce Dazzle (E) cooldown very fast.

Dazzle (E)

  1. To elevate your Taric's game, when you want to Dazzle (E) + Flash combo make sure to do it at the very last frame of the animation, so enemies won't have any time to react.

Cosmic Radiance (R)

  1. Do not wait for 'special' moment with your Cosmic Radiance (R)! You feel that fight is about to happen, use it early.
  2. You can use your Cosmic Radiance (R) to team fight (combined with Dazzle (E) and just going in) or to scare off enemies or to dive under turret.

Engaging

  1. You have good engaging tools - Dazzle (E) and Cosmic Radiance (R). Use it!

Taric Combos

  1. E + Flash Combo: You can use Dazzle (E) then Flash.

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.
