Guide to Synergizing Taric and Xin Zhao

Tips for Playing as Taric with Xin Zhao

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 Xin Zhao Will Play

Try to position yourself so your ultimate's knockback is most effective.

Xin Zhao is a great initiator to combat. Lead the front to start a fight and use your ultimate to do the most damage possible.
