Playing as Bard

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Aim for a wall behind your target

    Line up Cosmic Binding (Q) with a wall or a second enemy behind your target: the missile then stuns every enemy hit.

  2. Freeze the fight with your R

    Cast Tempered Fate (R) to freeze a teamfight, or a tower during a dive: everything hit, allies included, goes into stasis.

  3. Roam through your portals

    Open Magical Journey (E) to roam or to get your team out: the portal crosses nearby terrain, but enemies can use it too.

  4. Collect your Chimes

    Collect the Traveler's Call (passive) Chimes whenever your lane allows: they give XP and mana, and enough Chimes add area damage and a slow to your Meeps.

Playing against Amumu

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Bandage Toss (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and it's his only spell to reach you.

  2. Step up after both bandages

    Step up when both charges of Bandage Toss (Q) are gone: he can't reach you again until a charge comes back.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Curse of the Sad Mummy (R), spread out from your allies in teamfights: the spell stuns every enemy around him.

  4. Ward the way into your lane

    Ward the path between his jungle and your lane: Bandage Toss (Q) brings him onto you from range, and he has two charges to catch you.
