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
SpavalderiaI lanci delle abilità potenziano i prossimi 2 attacchi base di Taric consentendogli di infliggere danni magici bonus, ridurre la ricarica delle abilità base e attaccare in rapida successione.
Strong: spell-casts empower two autos that lower his cooldowns. Weak: it chains him to melee — kite between his auto windows.
Q
Tocco delle stelleCura gli alleati vicini in base al numero di cariche accumulate. Gli attacchi potenziati da Spavalderia conferiscono una carica di Tocco delle stelle.
Strong: charges heal the whole nearby team. Weak: heals drain mana fast — poke wars empty him.
W
BastioneLa passiva di Bastione aumenta l'armatura di Taric e dei campioni alleati.L'attiva protegge un alleato e crea con esso un legame che durerà fino a quando non si allontana da Taric. Le abilità di Taric vengono lanciate anche dal compagno di Bastione.
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
Luce abbaglianteTaric prepara un fascio di luce stellare che, dopo un breve ritardo, infligge danni magici e stordisce i nemici.
Strong: a delayed line stun cast from him AND the linked ally. Weak: slow wind-up — watch both sources and sidestep.
R
Splendore cosmicoDopo un ritardo, rilascia energia cosmica sui campioni alleati vicini, rendendoli invulnerabili per un breve periodo di tempo.
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.
