Guide to Synergizing Neeko and Taric

Tips for Playing as Neeko with Taric

You can set her passive to use hotkeys in the options menu. The default is Shift+F1~F5

Try to use Inherent Glamour sparingly, ineffective uses will put enemies on the alert.

Advice to Understand How Taric Will Play

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.
