Beta
Use 'Electrocute' to maximise damage, as it is easily triggered by your Q and basic attacks. Focus on applying pressure in lane rather than just roaming for chimes or standing behind your ADC. Your ultimate requires high precision, so practice your timing to avoid misusing it in team fights.

Tip

Be careful not to stand in range of Taric’s Dazzle (E) while dealing damage with basic attacks. Dazzle’s (E) casting period makes it easy to dodge. Taric can use the invulnerability on Cosmic Radiance (R) to turn the tables, so try to freeze whoever received Cosmic Radiance (R).
