Don’t forget to subscribe to Teemo News. • League of Legends Champion: Taric, the Shield of Valoran. • Skins: Classic, Armor of the Fifth Age Taric and Bloodstone Taric. • Abilities:. Passive: Bravado. Spellcasts empower Taric’s next 2 basic attacks to deal bonus magic damage, reduce his spell cooldowns, and attack in quick succession. Q: Starlight’s Touch. Taric heals nearby allied champions based on charges stored, but Bravado-empowered attacks reduce this recharge time more than usual. W: Bastion. This ability passively increase the Armor of Taric and any allied champion with Bastion. Actively shields an ally and grants them Bastion for as long as they remain near Taric. Taric spells also cast off the ally with Bastion. E: Dazzle. Taric readies a beam of starlight that, after a brief delay, deals magic damage and stuns enemies. R (Ultimate): Cosmic Radiance. Pulses cosmic energy onto nearby allied champions after a delay, making then invulnerable for a short duration. • Attributes: Support / Fighter. • Price: 585 Riot Points OR 1350 Influence Points. • Playing As Taric. 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. |--| This one is important. 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. • Playing Against Taric. Taric’s ultimate, Cosmic Radiance, has a long delay before its effect. So, try to quickly assess whether to disengage the fight or attempt to kill his allies before it goes off. Also, Taric reduces his spell cooldown by basic attacking enemies with Bravado. So, try to kite him in teamfights and punish him for approaching the minion wave in lane. • Music:.
