Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Miss Fortune's superior range and Q poke combined with Bard's stun threat.
- Post-6 you gain significant outplay potential with R mobility, but still need to respect their burst damage in short trades.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to farm safely and only trade when Bard misses Q or is out of position.
- Your E over walls can help you reposition for better trades or escape their engage attempts, but avoid extended fights without R.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on farming safely and look for freeze opportunities when they push.
- Use your superior wave clear with Q to match their pushes, but avoid face-checking bushes where Bard might be setting up stuns.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught by Q bounces when last-hitting, and never fight extended trades without your R mobility.
- Overextending for CS when Bard has Q available often results in taking significant damage or dying to their combo.
