Bard vs Lulu

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Bard thrives by landing (Q) wall stuns and roaming after wave crashes to create numbers advantages.
Lulu's lane relies on shielding and polymorph to protect her ADC, so Bard must pressure cooldowns and punish overextensions.

Trading pattern

Trade with meep autos and look for (Q) wall stuns from brush when (W) polymorph is down.
Punish Lulu stepping up for last hits by hitting during her ADC's last-hit animations if enemy support can't immediately trade back.
Use (W) shrines to keep your ADC healthy through Lulu's shielded poke and avoid extended trades when (Q) stun angle is unavailable.

Danger windows

Respect (W) polymorph cooldown when engaging; avoid committing while it is available.
Beware of (R) knockup counter-engage, especially if your ADC lacks immediate follow-up.
Avoid fighting when your (Q) is on cooldown, as Lulu's shield and poke become harder to punish.

Early game

Track level 2 to contest the wave only if your ADC can follow your (Q)+(W) trade setup.
Use brush control to angle (Q) for stuns, avoiding trades when no wall or second target is available.
Avoid roaming while the wave is frozen to prevent your ADC from being vulnerable to Lulu's shielded trades.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q)+(W) trade setup; use it to pressure Lulu before she can shield and polymorph.
Level 3 grants (E) roam paths; roam only after crashing the wave to avoid leaving your ADC exposed.
Level 6 (R) enables pick or disengage plays; use it with confirmed ADC follow-up to isolate Lulu or stall dives.

Win conditions

Win by landing (Q) wall stuns to create pick opportunities and roam to influence mid and jungle.
Use (E) to roam after crashing waves, denying Lulu free farm and forcing her lane to reset.
Keep your ADC healthy with (W) shrines to outlast Lulu's shielded trades and scale into late game.
