What is the best bard build?

The "best" Bard build depends on the game (LoL, BG3, D&D 5e), but generally, strong builds focus on high Charisma for spellcasting, often multiclassing for enhanced combat (like Paladin/Warlock dips in D&D 5e for smites/Eldritch Blast) or using feats like Alert and Lucky in RPGs; while League Bards favor support items like Bloodsong and Liandry's with Electrocute runes for playmaking. For Baldur's Gate 3, the College of Swords with Gloomstalker/Fighter multiclass for burst damage, or Lore Bard for spell versatility, are top contenders, often utilizing DEX gloves for better attacks.
