The Bard field guide

Support · Lute

Music supports the party, but not every Bard branch is a dedicated healer. Minstrel focuses on recovery; Siren and Pianist have offensive kits.

Base passive: Encore: a successful heal restores 1 Energy.

A practical Bard build plan

  1. 01

    Choose your role

    Choose Minstrel → Songweaver for healing hymns and lullabies.

  2. 02

    Match your progression

    Choose Siren → Banshee for damaging vocals, or Pianist → Virtuoso for musical attacks.

  3. 03

    Prepare your equipment

    Coordinate recovery with your team so a once-per-battle Scroll remains available for the dangerous turn.

Strengths and tradeoffs

Why choose it

A clear support option for a party that already has damage.

What to watch

Do not treat a damage-focused Bard branch as if it has the Minstrel healing kit.

Race, trait and Scroll fit

Arcane Spark supports magic and opening Energy. Seraph race bonuses emphasize party healing, while Renewal supplies an extra recovery action.

Questions players ask

How do I unlock a Bard Super class?

The reviewed progression guide places a Trainer’s Shrine card in Act 2, The Dungeon. Choose the desired branch there. It describes the choice as permanent for that hero.

Does a Tome unlock my Ultra class?

The matching Ultra Sigil handles awakening. Ultra Tomes are for later Ultra skills. Read the item’s class restriction before using it.
