Guide to Synergizing Taric and Poppy

Tips for Playing as Taric with Poppy

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 Poppy Will Play

Keeper's Verdict can be released immediately to send the enemy straight up, take advantage of this in duels.

Iron Ambassador tends to land near walls, try to take advantage of this with Heroic Charge.
