How to Beat Nautilus as Taric (Support)

The Taric versus Nautilus matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Taric deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Nautilus has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Nautilus, ranking 16th (versus 38th for Taric) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Taric Support versus Nautilus Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Taric player to maintain constant pressure on Nautilus, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Taric tips:

  • 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.

Playing Against Nautilus

  • If Nautilus uses Riptide right next to you, hold in place until the ripple effect finishes before running. Running early will run straight into the secondary explosions, causing you to take additional damage and slow.
  • While Nautilus is shielded, he is capable of dealing large amounts of area of effect damage with his basic attacks - consider taking down the shield if you have time.
