Arrr, kit reference
Trick names, descriptions and numeric fields come from Riot Data Dragon. Practical reads be independently written; th' present in-battle tooltip remains authoritative.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishMeeps: Bard attracts lesser spirits that assist with his basic attacks to deal extra magic damage. When Bard has collected enough Chimes, his meeps will also deal damage in an area and slow enemies hit. Chimes: Ancient chimes randomly appear for Bard to collect. These grant experience, restore mana, and provide out of combat Move Speed.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishBard fires a missile which will slow the first enemy struck, and continue onward. If it strikes a wall, it will stun the initial target; if it strikes another enemy, it will stun them both.
That exported range ain't a verified in-game distance. Check the ability's current tooltip, matey.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishReveals a Health shrine which powers up over a short time, disappearing after healing and speeding up the first ally that touches it.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishBard opens a portal in nearby terrain. Allies and enemies alike can take a one-way trip through that terrain by moving into the portal.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishBard sends spirit energy arcing to a location, putting all champions, minions, monsters, and turrets hit into stasis for a brief time.
Adapt th' course
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Take efficient camps betwixt plays so a lead does nay disappear into repeated awaiting.
Use course priority afore invading or starting an prize, and leave when nigh th' ship lanes cannae move.
Enter through controlled vision and keep a course out; a taking th' victory Jungler still loses a shutdown when isolated.
Track opposing camps and course states instead o' forcing th' first aboard visible target.
Trade sides o' th' sea chart when contesting would require weaker lanes to move first aboard.
Save fit fer th' captain's eye control fer th' foe who threatens yer carries or prize access.
Course through known territory and lend a hand lanes only when th' foe be genuinely vulnerable.
Cross-sea chart rather than arriving late to a lost prize, then restore defensive vision wit' an ally.
Play 'round th' strongest teammate and make th' foe commit into yer control.
Pings, movement and prizes
Link each clear th' deck to th' next aboard informed decision. Pings should tell lanes where ye be pathing and whether th' crew be contesting or trading an prize.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
Decide which camps lead toward th' prize and ping th' nigh th' ship lanes afore they spend th' wave or recall timing.
Confirm which nigh th' ship lanes can move first aboard. Do nay convert an isolated prize marker into a forced fight.
Move wit' a teammate, sweep one entrance and keep Smite available afore committing damage to th' prize.
Call whether th' crew be finishing, fighting or leaving. Mixed decisions be more booty perilous than either clear th' deck choice.
Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.
Use th' chart
Compare a specific foe, return to th' champion overview, or choose another champion without losing th' queue distinction.
