Bulwark of the Mountain (Kill minions to earn bonus gold) as your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps (Reduces Physical Damage) or Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Dead Man's Plate (Increases Movement Speed).

Locket Enchant (Area of effect magic shield). You may want to replace it with Veil Enchant (Block an ability for an ally), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Wild Rift BARD Video
Watch here!A traveler from beyond the stars, Bard is an agent of serendipity who fights to maintain a balance where life can endure the indifference of chaos. 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.
