Bard unlocks by rolling 4 times before the Stage 2 carousel. Avoid picking quests that are hard to achieve because you will be locked out. Late game replace Qiyana with Brock. Skarner is nice, but not mandatory.

Stage 2
Roll 4 times before Stage 2 carousel. Generally better to do it on 2-3 so you can build your first interest gold. Prioritize Bard items.
Stage 3
If you are contested Bard, consider an alternate carry like Orianna 3 or even Milio 3. If you sense yourself needing resources, cash out Ixtal for resources.
Stage 4
Finish your 3* and push levels. 5 Ixtal is okay for a bit to finish quests, but try to play better units. You can win without Brock, but Brock 2 is very strong.
