Bard Class Guide • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

Bard is one of those classes that quietly stacks the deck in your favour without drawing too much attention. It’s not the flashiest in terms of raw damage, but its support abilities can shift the entire flow of a battle. The real star here, though, is the innate ability – rerolling any one die once per turn is so useful in so many situations. It gives you so much consistency, whether playing in a party or solo. For this build, I leaned fully into that reroll potential and ended up with something that felt a little bit busted, in the best possible way. Let’s just say things got silly – in a good way.

In the video, I walk through every Bard ability, explain what changes when you upgrade to the master side, and then build out a full reroll-heavy solo setup. I show how I place my stat tokens, which skill lines I prioritise (with some very specific combos in mind), and how I squeeze the most value out of Bard’s dice manipulation. There’s a full solo gameplay demo at the end too, where you’ll see just how far you can push this build when everything clicks.
