Who Wins
- You win level 2 trades with W slow into Bard Q follow-up, and you dominate level 6 with R initiation into Bard's R for guaranteed picks.
- Your range advantage and utility make you stronger in extended trades and team fight setups.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to slow enemies when Bard positions for Q, creating easier stun setups while maintaining safe distance with your superior range.
- Your optimal pattern involves W poke, auto-attacks with Q active, then backing off while Bard controls space with his abilities.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow-push waves to create CS advantages while using your range to deny Akshan farm safely.
- Focus on building large waves before recalling, as your lack of mobility makes you vulnerable to ganks when the wave is in bad positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never face-check brushes or walk too close to walls where Akshan can E engage or Bard can land easy Q stuns.
- Avoid using R aggressively without vision of the enemy jungler, as you have no escape tools if the engage fails.
