Lux vs Bard

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and binding threat to deny Bard and his ADC lane space.
Control brush to prevent Bard's wall-stun engage angles and protect your ADC.
Track Bard's roam timer and keep river vision to safeguard mid pressure and objective setups.

Trading pattern

Poke with (E) and punish Bard's missed (Q) with a quick (Q) root and burst.
Hold (W) shield to protect ADC from Bard's engage or poke bursts.
Deny Bard brush control to limit his hook angles and reduce enemy ADC follow-up.

Danger windows

(Q) from brush or walls can root your ADC; maintain brush denial and vision.
(R) can isolate your ADC or stall engages; track ultimate cooldown to avoid bad fights.
Bard roaming after wave crash leaves your ADC vulnerable; punish with lane pressure or vision control.

Early game

Win level 2 by coordinating (Q) root with your ADC's damage for strong poke trades.
Deny Bard brush access early to reduce his (Q) wall stun threat.
Crash waves before Bard can safely roam with (E) and (R) follow-up ready to punish.

Power spikes

Level 2: Your (Q)+(E) poke outmatches Bard's early (Q)+(W) trades, enabling lane pressure.
Level 6: Your (R) unlocks pick and poke threat; use it with ADC follow-up to punish Bard's roams.
First mage item: Increases your poke and wave control, forcing Bard to play more cautiously.

Win conditions

Convert poke and binding roots into ADC access denial and turret pressure.
Control river vision and track Bard's roam to enable safe mid pressure or dragon setups.
Use (R) with ADC follow-up to create picks or disengage, securing favorable 2v2 fights and objectives.

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