TFT Set 17 Bard Guide: Best items, meta builds, and synergies. Learn how to optimize Meeple summons and dominate the late game with this powerful 5-cost unit.
Ability: Meeple Melodic
- Mana: 0/70
Bard summons a flying saucer over the current target that lasts X seconds. Each second it deals (AP) magic damage to the target, plus (AP) magic damage split between all enemies within X hex. The saucer deals % increased damage to Tanks.If an enemy under the UFO dies, Bard has a X% chance to abduct them and create a 1-star copy on your bench.
Meep bonus: On combat start, grant the nearest Astronauts an additional Meep.
Players should maintain disciplined bench management to fully utilize Bard’s ‘Abduct’ mechanic. Keeping at least 1-2 slots open on the bench is important. If the bench is full, Bard cannot create 1-star copies of abducted enemies. This can cause players to lose out on potential gold or free unit upgrades.
