The Bard
| Weapon: | Wand |
|---|---|
| Ability: | Music Instrument |
| Armor: | Robe |
| Unlock: | Lvl 20 with Priest, Lvl 20 with Trickster |
The Bard wields a wand as a weapon and uses her enchanted music instrument to inspire her allies, or deal damage and debuff enemies. Having less healing and less damage of the Priest and Sorcerer class, the Bard should function as a versatile class with a bit of both worlds.

The Ability: The Instrument
The instrument has two features, like the Ninja class’ star. While space is held, The Bard grants nearby allies the ‘Healing’ status, +1 ATK and +1 DEF. (improved with tiers).
Wismod:
Radius: 
Damage: 
When simply tapped, or once released, the Bard unleashes a cone of 3 shots that deal moderate damage and inflict the “Dissonance” debuff. Dissonance causes enemies to deal 30% less damage for a brief period of time. Whenever an enemy affected by Dissonance fires a projectile, the projectile has a purple overlay on it, to portray that the shot is weakened.
