League of Legends is known for its diverse and imaginative skins, and one of the most unique and visually stunning skins is Astronaut Bard. Released on July 22, 2021, this skin takes Bard, the cosmic caretaker, on an interstellar adventure, transforming him into an astronaut exploring the vastness of space.
Astronaut Bard is a 1350 RP skin, which means it offers a significant visual upgrade to the base Bard model, complete with new animations, sound effects, and particle effects. This skin truly captures the essence of Bard's cosmic nature, combining it with the awe-inspiring wonders of space.
The Astronaut Bard skin features Bard donning a sleek, futuristic spacesuit, complete with a helmet and jetpack. His Meeps, the adorable little spirits that accompany Bard, are transformed into tiny rockets, leaving a trail of stardust as they fly around. Bard's Q ability, Cosmic Binding, now shoots out a cosmic tether, while his W ability, Caretaker's Shrine, creates a holographic healing station. His E ability, Magical Journey, creates a portal of swirling galaxies, and his ultimate ability, Tempered Fate, freezes enemies in a cosmic stasis.
But what makes Astronaut Bard truly special is the attention to detail in the skin's animations and sound effects. As Bard moves through the map, he floats weightlessly, leaving behind a trail of stardust. His recall animation shows him sitting on a crescent moon, strumming his cosmic instrument, creating a mesmerizing melody that resonates throughout the cosmos.
Now, let's delve into the lore and story of Bard, the cosmic caretaker. Bard is an enigmatic celestial being who travels through the universe, collecting and preserving the memories of countless worlds. He is a guardian of equilibrium, ensuring that the cosmic forces remain in balance. Bard's true nature and purpose are shrouded in mystery, but his presence is felt across the universe.
In the game, Bard is a support champion who excels at roaming and providing utility to his team. His passive ability, Traveler's Call, allows him to collect chimes scattered throughout the map, empowering his abilities and granting him additional experience and mana. Bard's Q ability, Cosmic Binding, allows him to stun enemies by tethering them to walls or other champions. His W ability, Caretaker's Shrine, creates healing shrines that provide health and a movement speed boost to allies. Bard's E ability, Magical Journey, creates portals that allow him and his allies to quickly traverse the map. Finally, his ultimate ability, Tempered Fate, freezes all units in a target area, rendering them invulnerable and unable to act for a short duration.
Bard's unique playstyle and versatile abilities make him a favorite among support players. His ability to roam and provide map-wide utility sets him apart from other champions in the game. Bard players must have excellent map awareness and decision-making skills to maximize his impact on the game.

Lore:

Many Runeterrans sing songs that ponder his extraordinary nature, yet they all agree that the cosmic vagabond is drawn to artifacts of great magical power. Surrounded by a jubilant choir of helpful spirit meeps, it is impossible to mistake his actions as malevolent, as Bard always serves the greater good... in his own odd way.
Ally tips:

Let your Caretaker's Shrines charge up - they heal for a lot more when at full power. Don't forget that enemies can also use your Magical Journey doorways, and that your ultimate can also hit your allies!

Don't let his allies take them without a fight.Bard's ultimate, Tempered Fate, affects allies, enemies, monsters, and turrets alike. Sometimes it can be to your advantage to jump into it!
