Historical versus modern

Ability names differ between historical 3.15.5 and modern 16.14.1 (Gemcraft, Imbue, Shatter, Radiance); values and mechanics still require Classic launch-client verification.

Taric, the Gem Knight, is documented here from Riot's 3.15.5 historical snapshot. The Support labels are an editorial navigation taxonomy, not launch-patch usage statistics.

Three-layer build system

Taric build evidence

Only layers with qualifying evidence are shown. Creator-tested and launch-verified layers are absent until their evidence gates pass.

Riot's 3.15.5 Summoner's Rift recommendation for Taric, preserved as a historical reading aid rather than a launch-patch best build.

Frequently Asked Questions

01Is Taric in Riot's official League Classic roster?

Yes. Riot's official Classic Champions page lists Taric in the 60-champion roster. That confirms identity only; the skills, values, roles and builds on this page remain version-labelled historical references.

02Are Taric's ability values launch verified?

No. The displayed historical references come from Riot Data Dragon 3.15.5; observed and launch-verified value fields remain null.
