How to Play This Matchup

Mid-Game Showdown

Both champions spike around the same time. The player who gets their first item faster wins. Focus on CS leads and smart trades to build an advantage before the mid-game.

MR Priority

Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.

Exploit Bard's Weakness

Bard's main weakness: ADC left alone, R can hurt team, complex roam timing. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Bard Win Condition
