Tips for Playing as Taric with Leona
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 Understand How Leona Will Play
Shield of Daybreak and Zenith Blade form a powerful offensive combo.
Lead the charge and mark your foes with Sunlight before your allies deal damage.
You can absorb a huge amount of damage using Eclipse, but you must stay near enemies to gain the bonus duration.
