Bards are unique in their magic: they weave complex enchantments through music. Normally residing in inns and taverns - where they make a tidy profit - it is rare to find a Bard on the battlefield. But these are strange times, indeed. Bards that join forces with a mage use their music to inspire allies, confuse enemies, and increase the morale of the troops being trained.

Song
- Increases Primary and Counter AP of all your units by 2% + 1%/lvl.

Song is a superior version of Valor in that it both increases your AP and reduces the enemy's.
Charisma
Increases recruit rate by 4% + 2%/lvl. Not very useful as barrack units are fairly weak and are generally only used to powerup during armageddon.
Summary
Bard has a ranged Psychic attack, which is fairly good and the hero isn't expensive to maintain.
The fact that he is a Sprite isn't very good, since Sprites/Sirens have a very bad habit of being stackwiped because of their low hp, which can result in your Bard being destroyed. I recommend that if you get a Bard to avoid using those units or stack them in sufficient numbers they won't all be killed.
Leadership
Bards will naturally lead, and give an efficiency bonus to:
