How to beat Taric

Common role: Support

The shield of Valoran whose ultimate makes the whole team invulnerable.

What makes Taric dangerous

Taric heals with charged autos, stuns in melee (E — extended through his W-linked ally), shares armor auras, and his ultimate grants team-wide INVULNERABILITY after a delay — dives and fights simply stop dealing damage for 2.5 seconds.

How to play against Taric

• 1His ult has a visible 2.5s delay — disengage and re-enter after it pops.
• 2The stun comes from him OR his linked ally — track the W tether.
• 3Kite him: all his power is short-ranged.
• 4Anti-heal cuts his aura sustain in extended trades.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Melee-bound: ranged poke lanes starve him.
• ✓The ult is fully telegraphed — waiting beats it.
• ✓Low damage; his value is entirely defensive.
• ✓Cooldown-heavy — punish between stun rotations.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Taric's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Plastronneur

  Lancer des compétences renforce les 2 prochaines attaques de base de Taric, leur permettant d'infliger des dégâts magiques supplémentaires, de réduire les délais de récupération de ses compétences et de s'enchaîner rapidement.

  Strong: spell-casts empower two autos that lower his cooldowns. Weak: it chains him to melee — kite between his auto windows.

• Q
  Bénédiction stellaire

  Rend des PV aux champions alliés proches en fonction du nombre de charges stockées. Les attaques renforcées par Plastronneur octroient une charge de Bénédiction stellaire.

  Strong: charges heal the whole nearby team. Weak: heals drain mana fast — poke wars empty him.

• W
  Bastion

  Augmente passivement l'armure de Taric et de tout champion allié affecté par Bastion.À l'activation, offre un bouclier à un allié et ce dernier bénéficie de l'effet Bastion aussi longtemps qu'il reste près de Taric. Les compétences de Taric se lancent également depuis l'allié affecté par Bastion.

  Strong: links an ally who mirrors his spells — double stuns, double auras. Weak: the link has fixed range — split the pair and the copy dies.

• E
  Éblouissement

  Taric prépare un rayon de lumière stellaire qui, après un bref délai, inflige des dégâts magiques et étourdit les ennemis.

  Strong: a delayed line stun cast from him AND the linked ally. Weak: slow wind-up — watch both sources and sidestep.

• R
  Lumière cosmique

  Après un délai, nimbe les champions alliés proches d'énergie cosmique, les rendant invulnérables pendant un court instant.

  Strong: team-wide INVULNERABILITY after the delay. Weak: 2.5s of visible countdown — stall the fight, then burst after it pops.

Itemization

Count 2.5 seconds and hold burst through the invulnerability. Range and kiting starve his whole kit.
