Abilities & tips
Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.
PBravado
Spellcasts empower Taric's next 2 basic attacks to deal bonus magic damage, reduce his spell cooldowns, and attack in quick succession.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
QStarlight's Touch
Heals nearby allied champions based on charges stored. Bravado-empowered attacks grant a charge of Starlight's Touch.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
WBastion
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's spells also cast off the ally with Bastion.
Match the protective effect to the moment damage arrives. Read who it protects and how long it lasts before relying on it.
EDazzle
Taric readies a beam of starlight that, after a brief delay, deals magic damage and stuns enemies.
Use this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.
RCosmic Radiance
Pulses cosmic energy onto nearby allied champions after a delay, making them invulnerable for a short duration.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
Taric combos: execution and timing
AA = basic attack · EAA = empowered attack · 1/2/3 = cast stage. Follow the order, not instant key presses.
Include Cosmic Radiance in the rotation
- W
- E
- R
With Taric, start with Bastion, then continue through Dazzle → Cosmic Radiance. Choose a position that lets Bastion work without losing your retreat. Check the next target’s range before following the sequence.
Follow up with Dazzle
- E
- AA
- AA
- Q
- AA
- AA
With Taric, start with Dazzle, then continue through Basic attack → Basic attack → Starlight's Touch → Basic attack → Basic attack. Alternate the shown spells and attacks to use Bravado. Check that each attack lands rather than pressing the whole sequence at once.

Game plan by role
Taric · Support
Stand where you can help your lane partner without exposing both of you. Coordinate the opening before spending your main control or protection.
Set up vision with nearby allies rather than walking into unlit areas alone. Roam when your lane partner can safely handle the next wave.
Choose between creating an opening and protecting the teammate who can carry the fight. Do not spend every defensive spell on the first visible enemy.
Before your next fight, check: Starlight's Touch · Cosmic Radiance · Combos
06
Matchup preparation
Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.
07
Practice checklist
- Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
- Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
- After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
