Bard vs Nami

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Bard's roaming and lane poke can outpace Nami's sustain if timed well.
Nami's strong poke and heal force Bard to rely on disengage and roam pressure.

Trading pattern

Engage trades after Nami uses her Q to avoid her follow-up damage and heal.
Use Bard's Q to interrupt Nami's E or W when she commits to trades.
Disengage quickly after landing a Q or passive proc to avoid Nami's counterpoke.

Danger windows

When Bard's Q is on cooldown, Nami can punish with her empowered auto attacks and W heal.
Avoid fighting when Nami's ultimate is up as it can turn trades or all-ins.
Be cautious if enemy jungler is missing and Bard has pushed without vision.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 2 when Nami's Q and W are up.
Use Bard's passive chimes to control lane tempo and look for roam opportunities.
Hold wave near your tower to reduce Nami's poke effectiveness early.

Power spikes

Level 2 power spike when Bard gains Q and W for poke and disengage.
Level 6 ultimate allows Bard to set up picks or disengage from Nami's all-ins.
First support item completion increases sustain and lane presence.

Win conditions

Use Bard's roaming strength to create pressure mid or bot and secure vision.
Punish Nami's cooldowns with Bard's poke and disengage tools.
Coordinate Bard's ultimate with jungler or mid for picks and objective control.

Tip: For Bard vs Nami, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
