Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades due to superior range and headshot harass, but Zeri can disengage with E making extended trades difficult.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage through R execute potential and better positioning tools, though Zeri's R mobility requires careful trap placement.
Synergy & Trading
- Use headshot procs on minions to zone Zeri, then follow up with Q when she steps forward to CS.
- Coordinate with Rakan's W engage by placing traps behind Zeri's likely E escape path for guaranteed follow-up damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for level 2 first to establish early dominance, then maintain slow push to build minion advantage for Rakan engages.
- Keep wave slightly on your side post-6 to have space for kiting when Zeri uses R.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste traps randomly - save them for Rakan's engage follow-up or to cut off Zeri's E escape routes.
- Avoid using E aggressively without vision as Bard's Q can easily punish your immobility during the animation.
