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
  담대함

  타릭이 스킬을 사용하면 다음 2회의 기본 공격에 추가 마법 피해가 적용되고 공격 속도가 빨라지며 스킬의 재사용 대기시간이 단축됩니다.

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

• Q
  별빛 손길

  충전량을 모두 소모해 근처의 아군 챔피언을 회복시킵니다.담대함으로 강화된 기본 공격 시 충전 대기시간이 줄어듭니다.

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

• W
  수호의 고리

  수호의 고리로 연결된 아군 챔피언과 타릭의 방어력이 상승합니다.연결된 아군 챔피언이 타릭 근처에 있는 동안 수호의 고리를 사용하면 연결된 아군에게 보호막을 씌웁니다. 타릭이 스킬을 사용하면 연결된 아군도 같은 스킬을 사용합니다.

  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
  황홀한 강타

  타릭이 천상의 별빛을 준비해 잠시 후 적에게 마법 피해를 입히고 기절시킵니다.

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

• R
  우주의 광휘

  잠시 후 근처의 아군 챔피언을 모두 우주의 에너지로 감싸 잠깐 동안 무적 상태로 만듭니다.

  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.
