Hwei vs Bard

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and versatile (E) CC to control brush and deny Bard's engage angles.
Prioritize ADC protection and follow-up over forcing early all-ins before level 6.
Maintain river vision to track Bard's roam windows and prevent ADC isolation.

Trading pattern

Use (E) defensive CC options to peel Bard's engage and protect your ADC.
Coordinate engage timing with ADC follow-up after (Q) cooldown is down.
Deny Bard brush access to reduce his hook threat and limit his roam potential.

Danger windows

(Q) wall stun angles from brush create high-risk engage windows for your ADC.
Bard's roam timing after wave crash can isolate your ADC if river vision is lacking.
Level 6 (R) can catch your ADC out; respect its cooldown and position accordingly.

Early game

Contest level 2 only if your ADC can match Bard's engage and follow-up.
Hold brush control to limit (Q) wall stun angles and protect ADC positioning.
Use wave pressure to delay Bard's roam and keep your ADC safe in lane.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook options; use this to adapt (E) for peel or engage based on Bard's cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) enables strong all-in windows; only commit when ADC follow-up and vision are secured.
First mage item completion increases poke damage; pressure Bard's ADC and force recalls.

Win conditions

Convert poke and brush control into denied Bard ADC positioning and safe ADC follow-up.
Use vision around river and dragon to prevent Bard's roams and secure objective setups.
Leverage level 6 all-in with (R) alongside ADC to punish Bard's engage cooldowns or roam attempts.

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