Milio vs Bard

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (W) to extend ADC's auto range and shield short trades against Bard's poke.
Deny Bard brush control to limit his (Q) wall-stun engage angles.
Hold (Q) for Bard's engage attempts and protect ADC with (E) shields and (R) cleanse.

Trading pattern

Stand behind ADC, use (W) zone to enable extended trades and shield key damage.
Hold (Q) knockback for Bard's engage or (Q) stun attempts, avoiding early poke misuse.
Use (E) and (R) to peel and cleanse Bard's layered CC when engage occurs.

Danger windows

(Q) wall-stun angles from brush create high ADC vulnerability; deny brush and position safely.
Bard's roam windows after wave crash can isolate your ADC; ward river and track mid pressure.
(R) ultimate can isolate or stall fights; save (R) cleanse for key CC chains to protect ADC.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and only contest if ADC can follow your engage or shield.
Control brush to prevent Bard from landing (Q) stuns and setting up picks.
Prepare to crash wave safely before Bard's roam windows to keep ADC protected.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E) shield plus (W) zone, increasing peel and poke potential; use to protect ADC.
Level 3 completes kit with (Q) knockback, enabling reliable engage denial and brush control.
Level 6 (R) cleanse shifts all-in and peel power; time it to counter Bard's ultimate picks or disengage.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) knockback into denying Bard's engage and enabling ADC follow-up.
Use wave crash and vision control to punish Bard's roam attempts and secure dragon setups.
Leverage (W) extended range and (R) cleanse to keep scaling ADC safe for front-to-back teamfights.

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