Guide to Synergizing Olaf and Taric

Tips for Playing as Olaf with Taric

Olaf can combine Berserker Rage, Vicious Strikes, and Ragnarok at low life to become deceptively strong.

The bonus healing granted by Vicious Strikes amplifies your Life Steal from all sources as well as heals from allies.

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.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Taric.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Taric?

There is no perfect companion for Olaf that will no matter what be his top synergy. However, overall, Taric is a good teammate for Olaf. By locking into the same side as Olaf, he improves their win rate by 1.2% to 50.2%. This proves that there is a potentially meaningful bond between Olaf and Taric that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.

Taric has a lower difficulty than Olaf. That means Olaf players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Taric allies to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to play well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Olaf players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Olaf and Taric together, you will not be providing your side enough magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Taric ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
