'''Bard''' is the second job of the male Archer branch in Vortex Legends. Bards trade some of the Archer's raw bow output for a repertoire of songs, shouts and instrument techniques that empower an entire party while still holding their own in a fight. They wield Musical Instruments (and Whips for a handful of shared performances), sustain long-lasting songs that buff nearby allies, and can silence, freeze or put enemies to sleep with sound.

Bards share their whole performance list with Dancers: the two classes perform the same songs, the same duets, and the same support techniques, differing only in a few gender-locked skills. A song lowers the performer's movement speed while it plays, drains a little SP every second, and fades when the performer leaves the map.

== Skills ==

=== Instrument techniques ===

<table class="wikitable" style="float:right;clear:right;margin:0 0 1em 1em;width:23em;font-size:90%">
<caption style="font-size:115%;background:#2b2b3a;color:#fff;padding:4px">Musical Lesson</caption>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Job</th><td>Bard</td></tr>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Type</th><td>Passive</td></tr>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Max level</th><td>5</td></tr>
</table>

Steady practice sharpens the Bard's ear and hands. Musical Lesson permanently raises the Bard's Intelligence and increases the physical damage dealt while a Musical Instrument is equipped. It is the foundation of the offensive instrument line and unlocks the Bard's attacking techniques.

→ '''[[Musical Lesson]]'''

<table class="wikitable" style="float:right;clear:right;margin:0 0 1em 1em;width:23em;font-size:90%">
<caption style="font-size:115%;background:#2b2b3a;color:#fff;padding:4px">Musical Strike</caption>

<tr><th style="text-align:left">Range</th><td>11</td></tr>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Catalyst</th><td>1 Arrow</td></tr>
</table>

Musical Strike fires an arrow through a Musical Instrument, striking the target twice from a distance and knocking it back. It is the Bard's main single-target attack and costs less SP while a song is playing.

→ '''[[Musical Strike]]'''

<table class="wikitable" style="float:right;clear:right;margin:0 0 1em 1em;width:23em;font-size:90%">
<caption style="font-size:115%;background:#2b2b3a;color:#fff;padding:4px">Pang Voice</caption>

<tr><th style="text-align:left">Max level</th><td>5</td></tr>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Range</th><td>9</td></tr>
</table>

Pang Voice unleashes a piercing shout that blends physical and magical power into a single Neutral hit. It deals extra damage to targets that are Frozen, turned to Stone or asleep, can be performed while a song is playing, and is one of the few sonic attacks that will strike Boss monsters.

→ '''[[Pang Voice]]'''

<table class="wikitable" style="float:right;clear:right;margin:0 0 1em 1em;width:23em;font-size:90%">
<caption style="font-size:115%;background:#2b2b3a;color:#fff;padding:4px">Reverberation</caption>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Job</th><td>Bard</td></tr>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Type</th><td>Offensive (physical)</td></tr>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Max level</th><td>10</td></tr>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Range</th><td>9</td></tr>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Catalyst</th><td>1 Arrow</td></tr>
</table>

Reverberation places a lingering sonic charge on the ground that bursts after a delay or when triggered, hammering every enemy in the area with melee damage that ignores part of their Defense and evasion. Its element follows the equipped arrow. This is a performance shared with the Dancer.
