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 Camille

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after her Hookshot

    Take a trade after her Hookshot (E): it's her only dash before level 6, on a 16 to 12 second cooldown.

  2. Get out of her leap's path

    When she latches onto a wall with Hookshot (E), step out of her line: she has 1 second to leap, and the landing stuns nearby champions.

  3. Back off between her two Qs

    Back off after the first Precision Protocol (Q) attack: if the second comes after a short delay, it hits harder and part of it ignores your armor.

  4. Fight inside her R, don't flee

    Save your spells to fight inside The Hextech Ultimatum (R) rather than to flee: the trapped target can't leave the zone while it lasts.
