Build Recommendations Support Bard Lost Ark for Raid!

Bard Lost Ark is one of the supports that must be brought when you want to start a Raid on Lost Ark. Many skills from Bards are indispensable when doing Raid and much needed by the party.

Therefore, the build Bard that you want to use for Raid must be built properly so that Bard becomes a terrible support hero in Raid.

Bard

Bard is one of the heroes of the two support classes in Lost Ark, and one of the most sought after classes in any raid mode. Before using the Bard, you need to understand the skills of your teammates and coordinate with them to cooperate and do their best.

It's easy to play the Bard on basic level, but there will be a marked difference between players who can play the Bard skillfully and players who are beginners using the Bard. If we look at other classes, maybe they have 1-2 builds depending on their engraving, but Bard has a very flexible toolkit and should be changed based on attack needs.

Bard has an Identity Gauge commonly called the Serenade Meter (a set of three bars in the middle of the action bar) which can be recharged by using skills and hitting bosses. Generally, Bards use their skills to provide various buffs and effects to the party while building up their Serenade Meter.

If it's filled up, you can spend it to play one of two songs, Serenade of Courage for a big damage buff, or Serenade of Salvation to heal the party.

Build Skill Raid

Just like other heroes who want to do Raid, Bard also needs his own skills in building, especially when he wants to do Raid. Following are the recommended build skills for Raid:

1. Sound Shocks is a Bard's debuff skill. Sacred Shock can apply a debuff to the boss, Note Brand, which increases the damage done to the boss by 10%. At 252 Skill Points Stigma as the second source of this debuff can rotate between the two.
2. At 272 Skill Points, skills Harp of Rhythm can replace the Stigma skill. Harp of Rhythm can provide a more consistent debuff assuming you put it within the boss' range.
3. Wind of Music is the main shield skill for your party members. This skill can produce a sufficient amount of Serenade Meter when it hits the boss. The thing to remember is that you have to stay close to your party while dealing damage to the boss to get the maximum value from this skill.
4. Guardian Tune is a consistent buff that can provide reduced damage to all party members. With Tripod Endless Protection, this skill also gives this shield buff's shield an expiration. This is a great ability to cast frequently to reduce the damage that goes to your party.
5. Heavenly Tune is your most iconic buff that can give 15% of your personal Attack Power to the party, plus an additional 6% overall Attack Power buff on top of that, +16% Attack Speed and +40% MP Regen Speed. When you use Bard, prioritize this cast as much as possible.
6. Sonic Vibrations is second attack buff of this Bard hero. This skill can provide the same amount of AP as Heavenly Tune, but without Attack Speed and MP Regen Speed. This is a ground-targeted AoE, so place it where the majority of your party can stand within.

Alternative Skills

1. In general, you can replace Soundholic or Prelude of Storm with Rhapsody of Light.
2. You should be able to complete most of the staggered checks by throwing
   Whirlwind Grenade simultaneously with your other skills. However, in a low-stagger party, you may want to bring a Soundholic, especially if not everyone throws grenades. You can lower Sonic Vibration and Prelude of Storm to level 7, and replace Rhythm Buckshot with Soundholic.
3. Rhapsody of Light is an extraordinary skill at level 10 that allows you to save your party with the 70% damage reduction buff from Shining Protection. Rhapsody is as strong in Legion Raids as Valtan, allowing you to survive damaging patterns or use Push Immunity to avoid being knocked out of the arena.

Stats Priority

In general, Bards have the option of being high Specialization or high Swiftness, with a hybrid build in between. For the most part, the maximum Swiftness Bard build is recommended because Swiftness can do a lot of very useful things for support-type heroes.

This stat can increase your Movement Speed which can help position and increase your Cast Speed which helps cast buffs faster. Most importantly, this stat can lower the Cooldown of all your skills and can result in a higher active time on their support spells.

Engravings

Class Engravings can provide many benefits to this Bard hero and can determine the style of play that will be used during Raid. Here are Engravings recommendations for the Bard Lost Ark:

1. Awakening is the most important Engravings for a Bard. These Engravings can reduce the Cooldown of your Awakening Skills and Symphonia can make you cast faster in battle. Symphonia not only gives massive shields to all parties, but can also give you 1 bar of Serenade Meter, making it a critical ability. You must prioritize getting level 3 for these Engravings.
2. Desperate Salvation is Class Engraving owned by Bards. These Engravings are the only reason why Bards can heal the many party teams he needs and can give you effects recovery HP Max 24% at the end of the Serenade of Salvation.
