Who Wins

  • You win trades both pre-6 and post-6 due to superior range, waveclear, and burst potential.
  • Bard's Q stun requires minion positioning and his melee range makes him vulnerable to your Q poke and charm setups.

How to Trade

  • Look for Q poke when Bard steps up for melee chimes or CS, then follow with W-E combo if he's chunked below 60% HP.
  • Your charm range outranges his Q, so you can force favorable trades by positioning aggressively when his Q is down.

Wave Control

  • Push waves hard with Q to deny Bard roaming opportunities and force him to use mana clearing under tower.
  • Maintain mid priority since Bard wants to collect chimes and roam, but can't match your waveclear speed.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase Bard through his E portals or fight in areas with multiple chimes nearby.
  • His healing from chimes and portal escapes can turn losing trades around, so respect his mobility tools and fight in open areas.
