Tips for Playing as Taric against Garen
The cooldown reducing component of Bravado makes Cooldown Reduction items like Frozen Heart, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Spirit Visage exceptionally powerful on Taric.
Using Starlight's Touch at lower charges makes its healing less Mana efficient, but can greatly increase Taric's sustained damage via Bravado.
Rather than saving Cosmic Radiance for the last moment and risking someone dying during the delay, it can be more beneficial to cast it as soon as you know a teamfight is guaranteed to start.
Advice to Win Against Garen
Be careful about attacking Garen in brush. It often will lead to taking full damage from Judgment.
Stack armor items to lower the large amount of physical damage that Garen deals out.
Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. If getting out of its radius isn't possible, move through allied minions to reduce damage taken.
Try to run away from Garen as your health gets lower, as he can execute you quickly with Demacian Justice.
