Counter Information
1/6Be 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.

Chimes: Ancient chimes randomly appear for Bard to collect. These grant experience, restore mana, and provide out of combat Move Speed.
