AI tips summary
Beta
Bard pairs well with self-sufficient ADCs; prioritize roaming mid for pressure over pure bot lane dominance. Collect chimes naturally along your path. Utilize your ultimate (R) for initiating/disengaging fights or controlling objectives, avoiding reckless mid-combat use. Landing multi-target Qs is crucial. Focus on utility and vision control rather than lane domination. Consider Locket or Redemption as core items, and banning Pyke can make your games easier.
