Can Bards Meep Do Critical Dmg

Bards will have a low chance of getting attack skills due to lack of attacks since Bard has 2 Attacks, make them lvl 100 then if you're lucky enough to critical dmg u could win. At lvl 100 they are 100.0 skill dmg total 200.0 the shield is also important for defense so bring Guard plus curtain call for even more defense and magic def. Critical Hits. When you score a critical hit, you get to roll extra dice for the attack’s damage against the target. Roll all of the attack’s damage dice twice and add them together. Then add any relevant modifiers as normal. To speed up play, you can roll all the damage dice at once.

Our latest champion, Bard, The Wandering Caretaker, is now available for purchase and play!

Electrocute is also incredibly easy to proc since your meep-empowered auto attacks count as two hits, so a meep-auto + Q combo will deal 200 damage – this level of damage isn’t normally expected by ADCs and they can be quickly forced out of lane with just a few bad trades. Only Bard can see a minimap icon for uncollected chimes, regardless of whether other players have vision on it or not. The minimap icon will turn red when the chime is one minute away from expiration.

Electrocute is also incredibly easy to proc since your meep-empowered auto attacks count as two hits, so a meep-auto + Q combo will deal 200 damage – this level of damage isn’t normally expected by ADCs and they can be quickly forced out of lane with just a few bad trades. Essentially, at 95 stacks you have: 4 meeps that you can hold, each meep deals base 310 magic dmg +AP, meeps deal damage in a pretty large cone, and meeps apply a 60% slow. Getting this many chimes isnt easy, however you can gain more than 95 stacks in theory (the highest i got to was 95).
