OP Bard Builds

Hey, im a mastery level 5 bard and I have came up with my very own AP bard build that I have been using for the past month or so

Full AP support/mid/top/jungle
flash: no need for explanation
Exhaust: usually the best for support. If your going mid or top you should get tp or ignite. I would advise getting ignite as support. I just find it useless at times and exhaust is frankly overpowered in 2v2 when they have an adc

Starting items: you get the gold from poking and the bonus AP. I wouldn't build it all the way though. If there is an invisible botlane or jungle such as eve, twitch, shaco

Core: Protobelt is very good for bard because you only have one AP ability being your Q and you if your going full AP you are going to need more than that. In addition you can use this as a gap closer or an escape if your E is down because bard you are going to be fairly squishy with this build. Zhonyas hourglass gives you a good amount of AP while giving you some extra armor. Because your Q has such short range, if you are too far up in a team fight you can ult yourself or zhonyas. If you are next to a wall and your E is on cooldown but you are being bursted you can zhonyas so you can wait for the cooldown on the E and then make your escape. If you are not close enough to the wall you can protobelt or flash towards the wall.

Boots: Helps you get around the map, something that bard does very well with his E If you want the extra damage

The other items pick any three. The items vary game to game and is dependent on your game style. Me personally would go rylai's nashors and deathcap.

note: I don't usually build sightstone because I want to get to my other items faster. I prefer pink wards and regular wards. Don't flame me for not using sightstone as support.
