Why Bard is the most powerful unit of Set 3.5

  • The developers of Teamfight Tactics have just released their first ever set revival onto the live servers. Players have been begging Riot Games to bring back some of the previous sets, so they can enjoy them once again or play for the first time. And it looks like their voices were heard! But a key thing we should note here is that it is not an identical copy of the 10.18 patch (the last one of "Return to the Stars" back in 2020!). This set uses modern mechanics we know and love, such as portals, augments and new items! But it also means that there are tons of broken interactions waiting to be discovered. So let's talk about one of the them, specifically a 3 cost unit called Bard, and how he interacts with March of Progress and Cruel Pact!

    It feels weird to be this early on a vid of yours, but Is also rewarding to know that you tested and approved Bard, I feared they nerfed him because of the new items and the fast-level augments, so thanks for letting me know LeDuck!
    Now I hope I have good luck to roll him soon and often to not get stuck at a 1 Star Bard 😅

    On PBE I was running Bard-karma backline with four protectors. It's rediculous that 2 staring protectors can outdamage almost all comps except for Yi and you ride the exp farm until 10 for teemo, janna, GP

    I just did this in my first game of set 3.5 a couple hours ago. I hit early bard on 2-3, slapped shojin, guinsoo and trickster's glass, which creates a bard copy that also benefits from Astro. I was running 4 chrono so the Bards were ramping up attack speed quickly. With that setup I went fast 10 and hit Ekko 3 :)

    Can you test the sniper focus zed interaction? I know that the clone does not inherit the range from it but does clone benefit from the damage amplify when zed is further away and the clone is only 1 range?

    I'd say Janna is the most powerful - without multiple quicksilvers you get almost permanently stunned.

    • @Xertaron.
      @Xertaron. 8 місяців тому

      @@leduck You don't need Bard to get Janna though, he gets you there faster for sure, but he provides no combat power and will likely make you lose health in the process, especially if you itemize him to get more chimes. That and he needs to be at least 2-star to be effective, while 1-star Janna with mana generation increases the durability of your board by an absurd amount due to the enemy being stun-locked most of the time while the rest of your board slaughters their frontline. Indomitable Will shuts it down effectively, but you can't rely on getting it. It's a very toxic interaction.

It works when i put it on zac who isnt chosen but the copied lux doesnt cast zacs ability. Something is off with this augment/trait combo

    to be fair, bard was stronger originally. as shojin was 10 mana, blue buff was stronger, and hurricane also procced extra mana from shojin, so a 1 star bard could cast per auto.

    It got even better after adding more astro to the team.

    I just tried this but with endless hordes as the 2nd augment. It's so much fun bc you winstreak off of it and just start leveling to hit astro. Comp was a Chrono/Astro/Star Guardian. Bard started to ramp up with just a shojin on my end bc Chrono gave him scaling attack speed.
    Also realized Manazane is so OP with Syndra infinitely scaling her orbs + Janna to cap out and convert her magic dmg to true dmg.
