Snow Day Bard wraps the Wandering Caretaker in warm winter gear: a blue coat with quilted textures, a chunky orange hat, a scarf, and ice skates. Compared to base Bard’s cosmic robes and golden trims, this look is cozy and playful, with tiny penguin meeps flapping around him.
Visual effects shift to icy blues and cyans across his kit. Q fires a frosty blast that looks like a packed snowball, W places a steaming cup of hot cocoa instead of a shrine, E opens a pale-blue frozen tunnel, and R blooms into a frosted stasis field. Sound effects are crisp and glassy to match the cold theme, while the overall feel in-game is bright, clean, and highly readable.
This skin is part of the Snowdown/Snow Day holiday set and leans into light humor and seasonal charm. It also includes a custom recall, and there’s a Golden chroma noted for the Snow Day set that complements the palette.
