Pair with an ADC who has strong waveclear, like Sivir, to hold the lane while you roam. Capitalize on solo experience and Bard's passive to scale effectively. Focus on roaming to impact other lanes once your ADC is in a safe position.

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).
