Counter Information

1/6

Be aware of Bard's Cosmic Binding ability - try to avoid standing directly in the path of walls or units.

Bard's passive heavily encourages roaming, so it might be worth waiting until he leaves the lane to engage.

Note that whilst using Bard's Magical Journey, champions are still vulnerable to damage and CC.

Be aware and ready for Bard's ultimate, which is fantastic for setting up team fights and punishing bad positioning.

Bard's Magical Journey is one-way and so you can and should punish any mistakes he makes.

Try to avoid bunching up with other team members in order to reduce the impact of Bard's ultimate.

Traveler's Call Video

Meeps: Bard attracts lesser spirits that assist with his basic attacks to deal extra magic damage. When Bard has collected enough Chimes, his meeps will also deal damage in an area and slow enemies hit.

Chimes: Ancient chimes randomly appear for Bard to collect. These grant experience, maximum mana, and out-of-combat movement speed stacks.

Bard fires a missile which will slow the first enemy struck, and continue onward. If it strikes a wall, it will stun the initial target; if it strikes another enemy, it will stun them both.
