Bard Build Guide
Bard has carved out a roaming niche in support, sitting at a 49.28% winrate with a 6.24% pick rate on patch 16.13.1 across current ranked games. Electrocute serves as his keystone, layering extra burst onto his chime-charged auto attacks and stun sequences.
He maxes Q first, followed by W and then E, which keeps the damage and utility from caretaker’s shrine steady. For his core build, players typically reach for Dead Man’s Plate, Locket of the Iron Solari, and Bandlepipes, blending mobility with protection for the whole team. Complete item order, rune selections, and matchup counters get a closer look further down the page.
