Use roots (E) to create ADC follow-up windows and force Bard's team through plant zones.

Trading pattern

Use plants to zone Bard and his ADC, avoiding overpush that enables Bard's roam.

Danger windows

Bard's roam windows after wave crash expose ADC to 1v2; crash wave to punish or force vision.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing root (E) plus plant poke with ADC follow-up.
Seed brush early to deny (Q) from fog and prevent safe engage angles.
Coordinate wave crashes with ADC to punish Bard's roam attempts and secure lane priority.

Level 2: Root (E) plus plant poke unlocks strong engage and ADC follow-up.
Level 3: Full kit enhances brush control and punishes Bard after his cooldowns.
Level 6: Ultimate (R) turns Bard's engage or disengage into a zone fight, maximizing ADC damage.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied (Q) angles and secure ADC positioning for follow-up.
Punish Bard's roam attempts by crashing waves and setting river vision to protect mid and dragon.
Use ultimate (R) with ADC follow-up to win clustered fights and force favorable objective setups.
