How to Combo Taara

Basic Combo

  • Colossal Smash 1
  • Whirlwind 2
  • Basic Attack
  • Steeled Focus 3

Basic Taara Taara combo:

  • Use Skill 1 Colossal Smash Colossal Smash to strike the opponent, dealing damage and slowing them.
  • Activate Skill 2 Whirlwind Whirlwind to deal damage, then keep landing basic attacks to burst damage and reduce the cooldown of Skill 1 Colossal Smash Colossal Smash .
  • When nearly out of health, activate Skill 3 Steeled Focus Steeled Focus and repeat the combo above.

Be careful not to activate Skill 3 Steeled Focus Steeled Focus too late, or you may take a burst of damage and die before you can heal in time.

Also watch for the enemy team building anti-heal items like Curse of Death Curse of Death or Tome of the Reaper Tome of the Reaper , in which case you’ll need to activate your healing earlier.

How to Use Taara's Skills Effectively

  • If Taara Taara has above 50% health, using a skill consumes health; if below 50%, using a skill restores health instead.
  • The lower the health, the more bonus physical damage Taara Taara gains, hitting harder.
  • In every fight, try to prolong the engagement to make the most of this passive.
  • Use the terrain-crossing dash to close in and slow the enemy, or to flee dangerous situations.
  • Keep landing basic attacks to reduce this skill’s cooldown.
  • Use this skill to clear minions quickly thanks to its wide damage range.
  • Use it in group fights to hit multiple targets at once.
  • This is the strongest healing skill in Arena of Valor, able to fully restore Taara Taara ‘s lost health within just a few seconds.
  • Use this skill to keep healing while diving into fights to disrupt and break the enemy formation, or to sustain while laning.

How to Play Taara in the Early Game

In the early game, head to lane early and use Skill 2 Whirlwind Whirlwind to clear minions quickly, helping you reach level 2 sooner for an early advantage.

Keep trading skills to chip away at the enemy’s health, taking advantage of Taara Taara ‘s near-infinite sustain to pressure them into constantly recalling to heal.

How to Play Taara in the Mid Game

By the mid game, rotate lanes to tank for your teammates in fights, push towers, and take major objectives like Dragon and Caesar.

Confidently use Taara Taara ‘s tankiness to dive straight into the enemy’s backline, disrupt them, force their formation into a corner, and chase down immobile, squishy heroes like the enemy marksman or mage.

Combine continuous basic attacks so you can use Skill 1 Colossal Smash Colossal Smash to keep chasing your target.

How to Play Taara in the Late Game

By the late game, always move with your team, as Taara Taara is an important shield protecting your teammates. Also, this hero is very strong defensively but has almost no ability to push towers or pick off targets, so avoid roaming alone.

In fights, dive into the middle of the enemy formation to use Skill 2 Whirlwind Whirlwind to deal area damage, then stick to the enemy carry to deny them room to deal damage.

Use Skill 3 Steeled Focus Steeled Focus at the right moment to restore as much health as possible, extending your time diving in during the fight and increasing your chances of winning both that fight and the whole match.
