After the release of patch 13.14 for Teamfight Tactics, numerous compositions centered around the 3-cost 3-star carry have risen in strength. Notably, the Karma – Mystic Emissary composition boasts an impressive top 4 placement rate of 55.8% (a very high figure). In addition to Karma herself receiving buffs, the support from Legend Bard has also been significant.
So why is Legend Bard more favored in patch 13.14? The answer lies in the rework of Bard’s Silver trait, which has become quite powerful at this time. Specifically, this trait now grants players a random 3-cost champion each time they level up. Additionally, Bard’s Diamond trait has also seen significant buffs in the recent patch 13.14.
With the Silver trait, Bard supports the playstyle of upgrading a 3-cost carry to 3 stars extremely well. If players get strong champions like Karma, Katarina, Darius, Ekko, etc., this trait will save them a lot of gold on Shop Refresh. Players will receive a total of 4 units of 3-cost champions, making the upgrade process to 3 stars incredibly easy.
Regarding the Diamond upgrade, it allows players to receive many items quite early (at level 7). In the mid-game phase, Light Equipment proves to be extremely powerful with the effects they provide. Being able to equip such items right at level 7 is a significant advantage that Bard’s Diamond trait offers.
In conclusion, with the provision of substantial power at level 7, Bard is proving to be a Legend perfectly suited for 3-cost 3-star champions. Players should make the most of Bard to climb ranks effectively in the current meta.
