Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Q bounce damage when Zeri steps up to farm.
- Post-6 becomes more even as Zeri gains mobility with R, but you still have better sustained damage in extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q bounces off minions to poke Zeri when she last-hits, then follow up with W-empowered autos when Bard lands Q.
- Your E can zone Zeri during Bard's engage attempts or force her to burn E defensively.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for level 2 advantage early, then maintain slow pushes to create bounce opportunities with Q.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you have vision, as Zeri excels at farming under tower and can easily escape ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when Zeri isn't positioned for bounces, and avoid using E aggressively without Bard nearby.
- Getting caught by Alistar combo while your E is on cooldown is often fatal.
