Fun fact! Taric is one of the few champions in League that doesn't have alternative animations for critical hits. Meaning, there's no animation difference between smack-smack and SMACK-SMACK.
Taric actually does have a crit animation (a quick flick of the wrist smack on the head, less followthrough) but the animation is overwritten by the animation change of his passive. You only see it if it's a regular auto.
@@Darchias i checked Khada 3D model viewer and its base Attack 1 animation and Crit animation are the same. But, we cannot be sure unless seen in game without passive overwrites it.
11:06: delayed triple kill, and after the third kill at 11:58, Zwag is so happy. The fact that Zwag not only did this but made it work so well is terrifying. Congrats to the crit Taric guy, and ty, Zwag. Day 137 of asking Zwag to play full move speed Yorick, because no one ever seen a 'Rick run so fast.
This one gets a like. I do not often like videos. But this one gets a like. We did it. He took up The Way of the Hammer. He shed the bonds that every other Taric build lives under. Some notes: Those 2 items are the only 2 items you need for crit Taric. You can literally build him however you want beyond ER/Navori, and you can let the Navori slide until later if you need to solve a problem. The Essence Reaver is the real key here, Navori just synergizes with it well. Essence Reaver should be a core item on Taric regardless of build, it solves his biggest 2 issues. One, his mana instantly becomes a non-issue ever again. Two, he doesn't hit very hard otherwise. It ensures you will always have healing, shielding, and stuns to fight with, while also giving you a massive source of damage in your autos. Essence Reaver and Navori are kinda the "ooo, neat tricks" items right now. They work on basically all characters, and you can make a viable off-meta build utilizing at least one of them on every character.
One little improvment tip: Make it so that the video recommendations at the end are to the right of the screen, not in the middle, so you can see the rune stats
Hi Zwag. I usually do not either comment or like any video - from any creator I follow. But when you listen to ur audience and admit faulter. U sir, earned this. Happy new year everyone.
Lmao the range of emotions from the start to finish this game was hilarious. Also Its obvious you didn’t want make a crit taric video but I respect you alot more for sucking it up and doing it for the fans ❤️ keep up the good work. Love your videos
I think this would have worked better as a hybrid build. Go whatever you normally go first item, then go ER and FB, then finish with tank or AP items. You need the heal to actually work for it to be truly op.
I think that was my Idea. I remember asking for something with essence reaver and flickerblade. Maybe I was the crit taric guy lmao. And I just saw so many comments about people wanting you to play it. Thanks Zwag
OK no it wasn't me, but I also asked for something like that. The guy asking for critaric was suki.8369 But thanks to the community for pushing it so hard, I love how everyone stands behind everyone😂
Zwag, do you remember when Frozen Mallet was still in the game? That item + this wild build would go so hard. The version of it that I remember gave 30 AD, 700 HP, and auto attacks slowed the enemy by around 30% I think (with no cooldown).
i tried this exact thing in supp, but i couldnt pull it off because of how weak flicker blade actually is... instead i ended up with this build: Supp item > tear > death's Dance > plate boots. Thats core, then you can go muramana first / something like terminus or black cleaver. Its super expensive yes but Its ok because of how strong it synergizes with taric. The armour + extra damage from armor + boots dmg reduction + healing + DD dmg reduction is really strong. Especially if you get celestial opposition with its 35% dmg reduction on top of everything, but i usually go blood song to burst down the adc and heal the DD's dmg
@@SkyaTura he briefly mentioned phase rush is to help stick, manaflow is definitely just for early mana. Transcendence for more stuns, scorch is probably just to have some early trade, and the rest is pretty much just standard tank runes to help him survive later into the game
having 2 in Q early allow you to sustain longer since you're getting another stack to heal off and you're getting it back when you smack which could have make you won the 5:00 match
Enchanter Hwei is my favorite build on him recently. starts out normalish but goes support late game with his WW give well over 1khp regenerating sheilds, you have around 700ap and 80ish AH Build i go is seraph's embrace critbloom rabadons moonstone Dawncore Ardents censer/Staff of Flowing Water Runes page is normally Aery mana flow band absolute focus gathering storm font of life revitalize
Try kite annie. I go nashors, guinsoos, lichbane, cosmic drive, rylais. It makes your Q on a super fast cool down and you can weave autos and spells together ridiculously fast. Super fun and the gameplay pattern is way different from normal burst annie.
eclipse is also good for shield. some champions can get both fimbulwinter and eclipse and they are so op together. maybe a spirit and a dawncore to go along
12:33 "but also these guys are just fighting me. if they were just smart and just run away from me-" ZWAG, when the only option to win against you, is to not even try... you basically won the game
5:00 Zwag, fights Kled with 2 waves of minions there: "I can't believe he did enough damage to kill me!" LOL Clearly you were frustrated with having to play this build, and we love you for giving the people what they want
Today we honor the legend. A man of drive, vision, and sheer fucking will. A man who never gave up and can teach us all a lesson on sticking to our dreams. One man in chat who, with the grace only god can bestow, KNEW what he wanted out of life and screamed until it became reality. Today we raise up, on hit lux guy.
Yeah, attack speed still boosts the double hit it's why lethal tempo is a legitimate option, it makes you incredibly difficult to man fight even if you can't close out kills.
YAY NO MORE CRIT TARIC COMMENTS!
For real lol if you could say yuh in your videos I know you have seen my comment lol
Thank you Santa Zwag. Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄🎅
Crit yuumi next
ATTACK SPEED LILLIA WHEN
But still Diana tank comments
I love how h can genuinely hear zwag getting happier and happier as he gets more kills, he started off so dead inside
zwag is to scrooge as crit taric is to christmas
hes just annoying and whiney
now for a 3 hour marathons of crit taric pls
@@lankylanky1833why tf are you even here then lol
@@lankylanky1833why are you watching then
Finally
Crit Taric guy’s watch is over!
Crit Taric guy must feel right now like Thanos in that certain part of Avengers Infinity War
His name was idk, he was a good ranger, he came to us from UA-cam, and now his watch is over.
Nice😅
Letality Taric guy still unsatisfied
May he finally rest
Fun fact! Taric is one of the few champions in League that doesn't have alternative animations for critical hits. Meaning, there's no animation difference between smack-smack and SMACK-SMACK.
Thats rly sad..and people wonder why nobody plays crit taric
@@smartalex22 even yuumi has crit animation hahaha
Amumu has the best crit animation in the game

MERRY XMAS CRIT TARIC GUY
LETS GO CRIT TARIC GUYYYY
“Did Zwag Xerath get the first 6 CS?”
No, he missed 2 caster minions
Lose Streak: 2
Can't win them all I guess.
love you, Kyle!
KYYYYLE!!! ❤❤❤ HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
I haven't watched a video from Zwag for months, yet you're still here, that's some dedication
@@sukaira9334
I never thought I’d see the critaric guy get his wish, zwag is truly playing for the people. Thank you for being awesome!
We got CRIT Taric before GTA VI. It’s been a pleasure and an honour guys
We need movespeed rammus
Imagine the q distance n ganks
Crit taric guy probably busted a load seeing this video uploaded😂
I also busted a load seeing Taric but for different reasons 🥴
Hold up
I most definitely did
That is why he didnt leave a comment
AYOOOOO
honestly this video changed me from a doubter to a believer.. more bonk taric plz
Me too I’ve been converted
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WE GOT ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
🎉
I'm genuinely happy for you, you've been asking so much for it!
Enjoy, congrats :D and happy new year my guy!
Thank you, cult leader!
May the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again!
Critaric guy deserves the Nobel peace prize!
Critaric lore video someone please drop this bangsr
11:06: delayed triple kill, and after the third kill at 11:58, Zwag is so happy.
The fact that Zwag not only did this but made it work so well is terrifying.
Congrats to the crit Taric guy, and ty, Zwag.
Day 137 of asking Zwag to play full move speed Yorick, because no one ever seen a 'Rick run so fast.
New speedy Yorick cult incoming
Don't give up! He will notice you someday!
May the soul of the crit taric guy find peace with this video hahaha
Crit Taric guy can finally rest in peace
leaping up and down and applauding like I’m watching the fuckin moon landing
THERE U GOT IT
the crit taric guy its going nuts rn
11:35 The moment Zwag became a believer.
Ah, the sound of Taric passive bonks is so satisfying.
yeah I would say orgasmic even
Crit Taric taught us all a valuable lesson:
Any build works if you’re fed enough.
Hell yeah! I loved this. Literally smiling and chuckling throughout it. Thanks Zwag. Crit Taric is love, Crit Taric is life. 💎
Taric ban rate up 99%, Taric nerfed, Crit items removed from game..
Nah, this isn't Baus's channel.
I mean, they removed Dodge mechanic, so why not?
I’ve been watching this Crit Taric guy ask forever. Happy the wait is over.
Rerun of the AP trundle? That video was crazy!!! Or more viable AP tentacle girl
Im so happy for you Crit Taric guy. truly it is an example of persistence paying off. I wish you luck on your future endeavors
The day of vindication for Crit Taric guy.
Zwag digs it!
This did so well against a champ with built-in anti-heal. That crit taric guy was kinda cooking
idk if youre serious or not but avarage mmr of that game was bronze 4
The Crit Taric video that almost didn't happen cuz the other guy leveled up.
YES AND IT WAS ONE HELL OF A CRIT TARIC GAME! YOU MUST PLAY THIS AGAIN SOMETIME!
it happened! the magic of Christmas worked
These are the best swag videos. The fan service build. The insanity arc as he becomes fed. The bewilderment of everyone who bears witness. 10/10
Lmfao "shitty crit Taric" you can tell zwag did not want to play this shit at all LOL
You can't spell Crit Taric without the letters from Christmas 🎄
WE GOT IT CRIT TARIC YUHHHHH
Screw maxing stun, get that second point in Q level 4. Then max stun. The sheer value difference in longer fights is insane.

i’m crying he finally did crit taric

OMG I CANT BELIEVE IM FINALLY SEEING THE CRIT TARIC VIDEO JUST BEFORE GETTING TO SLEEP AND BEING SO EARLY ON IT 😍😍😍
call zwag whatever you want. but he is a man of the people.
Hi Zwag. I usually do not either comment or like any video - from any creator I follow.
But when you listen to ur audience and admit faulter.
U sir, earned this.
Happy new year everyone.
The Warriors cry out and triumph, for this truly is a day to remember
It's a Critmas miracle!
It was fun to finally see it, it’s cool he listens to comments. I do like the Tariq build from last video more, that was just pure chaos
Finally, Crit Taric guy's grandson can watch this video
Lmao the range of emotions from the start to finish this game was hilarious. Also Its obvious you didn’t want make a crit taric video but I respect you alot more for sucking it up and doing it for the fans ❤️ keep up the good work. Love your videos
Your the man zwag, thanks for doing chats stuipd builds we appreciate it truly
Crit Taric guy was on par with Kyle for some time! GG's man.
11:59 I think this is the first time I hear zwag make that noise 😂😂😂😂 I love it!!!!
I love how we all collectively came together on christmas for the crit taric dude, what a wholesome thing
I think this would have worked better as a hybrid build. Go whatever you normally go first item, then go ER and FB, then finish with tank or AP items. You need the heal to actually work for it to be truly op.

But thanks to the community for pushing it so hard, I love how everyone stands behind everyone😂
You may now rest in peace crit Taric man
11:52 I love how Xerath was floating by you when he stunned you. It's looked amusing casually going by. xD
I'm barely back to watching these vids and even I am excited for this crit Taric fella
OMG WHAT A CHRISTMASSSSSS three cheers for critaric guy!
Feels like when the RPG Cleric decides to levelup his Hammer Bash and put everything into strength
Zwag just beating the enemy team down with the hammer😂 awesome video!
IVE BEEN WAITING FORT THIS VIDEO FOR MONTHS. Crit Taric Guy can finally rest his eyes
Rest in peace, Crit Taric Guy. Sleep well now, friend.
There's something to be said about caving into the demands of terrorists for this one, but at least we got a good video out of it.
I can't believe it. We did it folks. This is up there with redesigning Sonic!
Zwag, do you remember when Frozen Mallet was still in the game? That item + this wild build would go so hard. The version of it that I remember gave 30 AD, 700 HP, and auto attacks slowed the enemy by around 30% I think (with no cooldown).

Its super expensive yes but Its ok because of how strong it synergizes with taric. The armour + extra damage from armor + boots dmg reduction + healing + DD dmg reduction is really strong. Especially if you get celestial opposition with its 35% dmg reduction on top of everything, but i usually go blood song to burst down the adc and heal the DD's dmg
Love seeing any Taric video! Yay!
Crit Taric guy over Crit Rammus guy begins tomorrow
I play it with conq runes. Stacking it is so easy with the auto resets on ability cast. ER -> Triforce -> Visage
Hey Zwag, is it possible to you quickly explain the reasoning behing the rune choices at the beginning of the videos?
I’m pretty sure he does it most videos but if he doesn’t they’re typically just the “best/most used” runes for a certain build
@glassesalex1310 but for instance, Taric crit is not a standard pick. Why these runes then?
@@SkyaTura he briefly mentioned phase rush is to help stick, manaflow is definitely just for early mana. Transcendence for more stuns, scorch is probably just to have some early trade, and the rest is pretty much just standard tank runes to help him survive later into the game
having 2 in Q early allow you to sustain longer since you're getting another stack to heal off and you're getting it back when you smack which could have make you won the 5:00 match
Crit Taric guys gift got delayed a few days in the mail, merry christmas.
Yesssssss. We don't have to riot! Crit Taric guy i salute you!
14:50 pov: u dont want ur opponent to loose xp and gold and u still wont get ur item from tower😃😄
The prophecy was fulfilled!
It's actually funny seeing the video thumbnail and thinking the amount of times I've seen the Taric crit guys comments as a preview to the comments 😭😭
11:40 welcome to crit taric cult zwag
MERRY CHRISTMAS FOLKS, WE GOT CRIT TARIC
Saw that comment in all your videos😂
Zwag is nothing but a man of the people. Once the request for crit taric counter gets up over 600…
Heyyyy the crit taric guys wishes
Enchanter Hwei is my favorite build on him recently. starts out normalish but goes support late game with his WW give well over 1khp regenerating sheilds, you have around 700ap and 80ish AH
Build i go is
seraph's embrace
critbloom
rabadons
moonstone
Dawncore
Ardents censer/Staff of Flowing Water
Runes page is normally
Aery
mana flow band
absolute focus
gathering storm
font of life
revitalize
Sheen start into essence might have been the play instead, you spam your abilities even at low level so quick, it’d be perma proc
Try kite annie. I go nashors, guinsoos, lichbane, cosmic drive, rylais. It makes your Q on a super fast cool down and you can weave autos and spells together ridiculously fast. Super fun and the gameplay pattern is way different from normal burst annie.

zwag puts me in the mood to make an entire pot of mashed potatoes.
Based random comment
You can rest now crit taric guy. Your prayers have been heard.
I thought this would never happen!! What a Christmas miracle
Hey zwag! Long time lurker here, nice to see you playing stuff the community wants! Have a great time bro!
Jhin and Nami's love story happening live in the chat, while CriTaric is smashing everyone on the toplane, pure cinema! ❤
omg crit taric guy congratulations bro
To be fair, I don't care that much about crit Taric as much as I enjoy watching Essence Reaver shenanigans on him. XD
12:33
"but also these guys are just fighting me. if they were just smart and just run away from me-"
ZWAG, when the only option to win against you, is to not even try... you basically won the game
Zwag loved the vid and hope you had a great holiday!
Do Wizard Lizard again! AP Renekton :D
"This is not the greatest season to do this build" watch him still get like 15 kills lol
5:00 Zwag, fights Kled with 2 waves of minions there: "I can't believe he did enough damage to kill me!" LOL Clearly you were frustrated with having to play this build, and we love you for giving the people what they want

navori flicker blade with nunu can solo baron like i can q every 3 s 1200 true damage and e every 2 s
Crit Taric guy, this is Zwag's post Christmas and early New Year present for you 😂
Good job 😊
every video of yours i see is one crazy build or another and I'm here for it
Kled is actually a great counter for Taric. Anti heal on his q and can dodge taric stun with his E.
