Champion Build Guide
Hello! My name is Lathyrus, although some people may still remember me as BardlyMissed. I started playing League of Legends in the summer of 2017, back in Season 7 where I started off as a Jungler. During the next preseason, I started experimenting with a lot of different champions, which eventually led me to Bard, where I fell in love with him and the support role. After picking him up, I started climbing and ended Season 8 as a Challenger. Currently, I have roughly three million mastery points on Bard between various accounts, which I used to climb to Challenger on the EUW, KR, and NA servers. During Season 11, I also managed to hit Rank 1 on my main server, EUW, at 1205 LP.
While I main Bard, I also enjoy testing out other supports. I have been climbing like crazy to high elo, currently in Master's, on a non-bard account using mostly Renata. Renata has been super fun to play, so hopefully I can help you learn too! My moderator Meltrax and I are consistently modifying this guide to reflect the most up-to-date changes. However, we do value accuracy over speed, so post-patch it may take us a day or three to test potential builds and re-write the guide accordingly. In other words - once I know, you’ll know!

A lot of people are building Renata like an enchanter - this is a mistake. Renata offers a ton of peel and can facilitate her carries in ways that no other support can. The best thing you can do is stay alive, so building tankier helps you achieve that goal. Arcane Comet and Summon Aery are not the best options for her. Guardian, with the tankiness you get in the minor runes, is by far the best setup you can have. Fleet Footwork and Glacial Augment are close seconds. It's all about peeling and staying alive.

You can get the item set for this build by clicking here.
You can either download or copy-paste the text and insert it right into your league client. (you can find your items section under your collection tab, then press on import item builds)
| ||||
Plated Steelcaps are a great choice when facing a team that has their main carries rely on auto-attacks. Look at the game and decide which boot choice is best. |
| ||||
Mercury's Treads will be your primary boot choice if the enemy is AP heavy or especially if they have a lot of CC, since you don't have double tenacity in your runes with this setup. |
| ||||
We are taking Locket of the Iron Solari since it fits the best with the Guardian playstyle. A lot of people are building Renata like an enchanter - this is a mistake. Renata offers a ton of peel and can facilitate her carries in ways that no other support can. The best thing you can do is stay alive, so building tankier helps you achieve that goal. Apart from that, the item has some really good tank stats which will scale well with Conditioning. The aura effect isn't super powerful early, but in late game team fights, it boosts your entire team to be just a little tankier. When building this item try and build the health components first. If you already have a Ruby Crystal and have enough gold then you can consider Aegis of the Legion, otherwise stick to either the Ruby Crystal or Kindlegem. |
| ||||
Building Anathema's Chains second gives you some great mid game stats, and the ability to reduce tenacity on the other team's big scary carry, which is super helpful. Your next item choice will depend on who you put Anathema's Chains on. If they only have one mid AP assassin and the rest of the damage is AD, go Frozen Heart. If they have one ADC and an AP mid and jungle, pair Anathema's Chains to the ADC and get Abyssal Mask. There are no strict rules to always follow here, you'll have to look at your game state to make the best decision. |
| ||||||||||||
|
| ||||
Abyssal Mask is your final item option if the enemy team has more than one AP threat. Force of Nature was nerfed and this item is now cheaper, so it's the best MR item for supports. The passive is also very helpful: debuffing enemy bruisers will help your team cut them down. |
| ||||
Knight's Vow is now a very safe item for your linked partner, mitigating up to 20% of the damage they take. Build this item if you have a late game carry on your team that you want to peel for and keep alive. You probably won't get to your sixth item in most games, but this is the usually the best option if you do. |
| ||||
Zhonya's Hourglass is the final alternative. If there's someone on your team that the enemy is focusing, you should build Knight's Vow as mentioned above. If however the enemy team is focusing you, then build Zhonya's Hourglass to keep yourself alive. |
| |||||
In most situations, your standard elixir of choice will be the Elixir of Iron. Remember, Renata wants to stay alive as long as possible and keep peeling nonstop. However, sometimes you might need some extra damage at the end of the game to win a fight, or help out your team the most you can, if you find yourself in that situation I recommend getting an Elixir of Sorcery. |

Renata's E, Loyalty Program, gives you a strong shield and good level 1 damage. You start with E and use bushes to move up, auto, and E to stack Spellthief's Edge quickly. The shield will often help you avoid taking any damage yourself as long as you dip back out of vision after the combo.
All in at level 2 as long as you didn't mess up your level 1. Take Q, Handshake, and use it to push one of the enemy bot laners into the other for maximum damage and a short stun, or you can use Handshake on a minion and push it into an opposing champion to still deal a little extra damage.
In general, look to trade as often as possible while keeping on eye on your mana pool, and all-in if you can hit the double stun. Stack your Spellthief's Edge and prioritizing backing for tier 2 boots followed by Locket of the Iron Solari.

After laning phase, your job is no longer to engage like the 2v2 laning phase - you're now focused fully on peeling. Think of yourself like a Lulu but tankier. You position around your carry but stand in front instead of behind. Ward objectives like a good support player and help your team have vision control around objective fights or on the flanks if you're sieging. Use Hostile Takeover if your team gets engaged on, or if you or another member of your team hard CC's a couple of opponents. Remember that it's very slow, so it's not an engage tool by itself.
Late game is all about the objective fights. Vision is key, and you can use your CC from Handshake to help your team gets picks. Generally, you want to ward up around objectives and try to help your team get those picks, since that's an objective fight won before it even happens. If it comes to 5v5's, again use Hostile Takeover if your team gets engaged on, use Bailout on your carry if they are getting close to dying, and use Handshake to peel.

I’ve linked my Twitch below. I stream on a pretty consistent basis, and can usually be found playing Bard (when Jankos doesn’t target ban me), testing new builds, coaching, or answering questions from readers like yourself who can’t find their answer here. I’ve also included the obligatory OP.GGs as well as my Discord, where you can meet-up with fellow Bard and support enthusiasts or receive notifications whenever I begin streaming for the day.

I hope that you were able to either learn something new from the guide or were able to find the runes and builds that you were looking for. From the entire team, thank you so much for taking the time to read the guide. If you still have any questions you can always hop into my stream, my discord, or just in the discussion tab here, I am always willing to help you out! |
