Tips for Playing as Taric with Rek'Sai
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 Rek'Sai Will Play
Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.
Cast Burrow before travelling around the map to take advantage of the increased Move Speed and the safety provided by Tremor Sense.
Tremor Sense can warn you of enemies closing in, and is particularly useful when entering enemy territory.

Rek'Sai has a lower difficulty than Taric. That means Taric players don't need to be careful when enlisting Rek'Sai allies to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to work well with you.
Working cooperatively, Taric players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these two will be a great protective duo.
Conversely, by aligning Taric and Rek'Sai together, you may not be providing your other teammates very much magical damage output. Make sure to have other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their capabilities.
Regardless of your Rek'Sai ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
