Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Cosmic Binding (Q) stuns when it hits two enemies or an enemy and terrain — always aim for wall stuns in lane
  • 2.Collect chimes regularly to empower meeps and gain movement speed, but do not abandon your ADC for too long
  • 3.Magical Journey (E) can be used aggressively to create gank paths or defensively to escape through walls
  • 4.Tempered Fate (R) is high-skill-ceiling — use it to freeze enemies on objectives, catch out-of-position targets, or stall tower dives
  • 5.Roaming is Bard's biggest strength; collect chimes on the way to other lanes and look for plays with your portal and Q stun
