How to beat Bard

Common role: Support

A wandering caretaker with map-wide portals and a reality-freezing ult.

What makes Bard dangerous

Bard stuns you against walls (Q), roams constantly collecting chimes, opens portals through terrain for cross-map plays, drops healing shrines, and his ultimate freezes everyone (and everything) in a zone — setting up dives or stealing objectives.

How to play against Bard

• 1Punish his ADC when Bard roams — trade tempo for tempo.
• 2Don't line up with walls or minions — that's his Q stun setup.
• 3His ult also freezes towers and objectives — expect Baron/dive plays.
• 4Step on his shrines to deny the heal charge-up.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓His lane presence is weak when chimes pull him away.
• ✓Q needs a wall or second target to stun — deny the geometry.
• ✓The ult is neutral: it can save YOU or freeze his own team.
• ✓Squishy and cooldown-bound in straight 2v2s.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Bard's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  旅者的召唤

  木灵：巴德吸引小型灵体来强化他的普攻以造成额外魔法伤害。当巴德收集到足够的调和之音时，这些木灵还会造成范围伤害并使命中的敌人减速。调和之音：远古的调和之音会随机出现，用来让巴德收集。这些调和之音会提供经验值，回复法力值，并提供脱战状态下的移动速度加成。

  Strong: chimes power his poke and give roaming value. Weak: chime greed empties his lane — punish the ADC 2v1.

• Q
  星界束缚

  巴德发射一束能量弹，减速命中的第一个敌人，并继续向前。如果能量弹命中墙体，它还会使首个目标晕眩；如果它命中了另一个敌人，那么它会让这两个敌人都晕眩。

  Strong: stuns through a minion or against walls. Weak: needs the geometry — stand free of walls and it's just a slow.

• W
  游神圣坛

  升起一座生命圣坛，圣坛会在短时间内持续充能，并在治疗和加速第一个接触它的友军后消失。

  Strong: healing shrines sustain his lane and roams. Weak: shrines charge over time — step on them early to deny full value.

• E
  神奇旅程

  巴德在附近的地形上开启一道单向传送门。友军和敌军都可以使用传送门来穿过该地形。

  Strong: portals through walls move his whole team unexpectedly. Weak: enemies can use them too — follow through and collapse.

• R
  调和命运

  巴德朝目标区域发射能量弧光，使区域内的所有单位、小兵、野怪和防御塔都暂时进入凝滞状态。

  Strong: freezes everyone in a zone — dives, saves, objective steals. Weak: it protects targets too (stasis) — sometimes it saves YOU.

Itemization

Trade aggressively while he roams; watch portal flanks. His ult freezes allies too — sometimes walking INTO it saves you.
