Playing as Taric

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Two autos after each spell

    Weave in two autos after each spell: Bravado (passive) empowers them with bonus magic damage, and each one lowers your cooldowns.

  2. A second angle with your bound ally

    Bind to an ally with Bastion (W): while they stay close, all your spells also cast from them, Dazzle (E) included, which gives you a second stun angle.

  3. Heal with all your charges

    Cast Starlight's Touch (Q) when its charges are full: it consumes them all to heal nearby allies, for the same 60 mana cost.

  4. Cast your ult before the burst

    Cast Cosmic Radiance (R) as soon as the teamfight is coming, not at the last moment: the invulnerability only kicks in after a delay, and only for nearby allies.

Playing against Yuumi

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep minions between you and her: Prowling Projectile (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and once accelerated, it slows hard.

  2. CC her as soon as she detaches

    If you have CC, save it for the moment she detaches: once immobilized, she can't recast You and Me! (W) for a while.

  3. Focus the champion carrying her

    Focus the champion carrying Yuumi: attached with You and Me! (W), she can only be targeted by towers, and without them she's left exposed.

  4. Cut her healing

    If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to the champion carrying her: they receive her healing, including from Final Chapter (R).
