If Taric's E lands, Glacial will be proc'ed and the enemy hit will be unable to move. The tree is also very good for the Champion.

Win Conditions

  • Look to skirmish. Your passive makes you very strong due to reducing your basic skills cooldown every time you auto attack with your Passive.
  • Don't hold your Ult until it is too late. While a well time Ult can win a fight, a late Ult will not cover your teammates before they die.
  • Taric can only engage with his E. Make sure to land it or risk the enemy punishing you while you retreat.

Weak Against

  • Heimerdinger: Heimerdinger's turrets provide consistent poke and zone control, making it difficult for Taric and his ADC to approach or engage without taking significant damage.
  • Sona: Sona's sustained poke and healing capabilities can wear down Taric and his ADC over time. Sona's Q allows her to poke from a distance.
  • Soraka: Soraka's strong healing abilities can nullify Taric's attempts to engage or all-in during trades. Her W heals her ADC and herself.

Strong Against

  • Nautilus: Taric's W ability allows him to mitigate Nautilus's engage potential by sharing damage with his ADC and stunning Nautilus with his passive.
  • Leona: Taric's W allows him to link with his ADC and share damage, reducing the impact of Leona's all-ins. Taric can use his abilities to mitigate Leona's crowd control.
  • Thresh: Taric's kit can counter Thresh's hooks and engages. Taric can use his W to link with his ADC, preventing Thresh from pulling them separately.

Game Strategy

  • Early Game: In the early game, Taric should focus on protecting the ADC and sustaining in lane. Use your Q to heal and Dazzle (E) to stun enemies, enabling favorable trades.
  • Mid Game: During the mid game, Taric transitions into a powerful teamfighter and initiator. Focus on securing vision around objectives like Dragon and Herald and prioritize grouping with your team. Use your Dazzle to initiate or counter-initiate fights, ensuring proper timing to catch high-priority targets.
  • Late Game: In the late game, Taric becomes a game-changing support. Stick close to your carries, using your Dazzle to stun threats and protect your backline. Properly timed ultimates and peeling for your carries can decide late-game fights, making Taric a crucial factor in securing victories.
