Taric

Support / Tank

League of Legends (PC)

Taric was last adjusted in Patch 25.15 (). Across 50 patches, Taric has received 12 buffs, 11 nerfs, 26 adjustments since release in Patch 0.9.22.15.

Abilities
BravadoPC
Passive - Bravado

Innate: After casting an ability, Taric empowers his next two basic attacks within 5 seconds to each gain 100% total attack speed, deal 25 - 101 (based on level) (+ 15% bonus armor) bonus magic damage on-attack, and reduce the remaining cooldowns of his basic abilities by 1 / (1 + ((10) / ((10) + 100))) / 2 seconds.

Starlight's TouchPC
Q - Starlight's Touch
Cost: 60 Mana + all charges
CD: 3
Cast Time: 0.25
Effect Radius: 325

Active: Taric heals himself and nearby allied champions for 25 (+ 15% AP) (+ 1% of his maximum health) per charge of Starlight's Touch that he periodically stocks, up to a maximum amount. Bravado empowered attacks each grant one charge.

Maximum Charges: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

Starlight's Touch can heal up to a maximum of 125 (+ 75% AP) (+ 5% of Taric's maximum health) at 5 charges.

BastionPC
W - Bastion
Cost: 60 Mana
CD: 15
Cast Time: 0.25
Range: 800
Effect Radius: 1300

Passive: Taric gains bonus armor and forms a tether between him and the ally bound by Bastion. While the tether persists, the ally also gains the bonus armor and Taric's abilities are mimicked to them, though the effects do not stack.

Bonus Armor: 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10% of Taric's armor
Shield Strength: 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11% of target's maximum health

Active: Taric grants himself and the target allied champion a shield for 2.5 seconds, binding them with Bastion.

Taric can also self-cast to shield himself; if he self-casts and is untethered, he will become tethered to the nearest ally. Similarly, if he is tethered to an ally and self-casts, both he and the ally will be shielded. Only one ally can be bound at a time, and selecting a new ally overrides the previous bind.

DazzlePC
E - Dazzle
Cost: 40 Mana
CD: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12
Cast Time: None
Range: 575

Active: Taric winds up over 1 second, granting ghosting to nearby units, then projects a beam of starlight in the target direction that deals magic damage to enemies hit and stuns them for 1.5 seconds.

Magic Damage: 90 / 130 / 170 / 210 / 250 (+ 50% AP) (+ 50% bonus armor)

Taric can move during Dazzle.

Cost: 100 Mana
CD: 180
Cast Time: 0.25
Effect Radius: 400
