Ashe vs Bard

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (W) and autos to control lane space and deny Bard's brush engage angles.
Maintain brush control to prevent Bard from landing (Q) wall stuns on your ADC.
Coordinate (R) stuns with your support to create pick setups and punish Bard roams.

Trading pattern

Use (W) and autos to slow Bard and his ADC, enabling your support's engage or peel.
Hold (R) for confirmed follow-up to maximize pick threat and punish Bard's positioning.
Deny Bard brush access to reduce his (Q) stun angles and limit his engage windows.

Danger windows

(Q) from brush or walls can isolate your ADC; avoid overextending near terrain.
(R) can stall fights or set up picks; respect its cooldown and position accordingly.
Bard's roams after wave crash can leave your ADC vulnerable; crash wave before matching.

Early game

Win level 2 to secure lane priority and block Bard's early roam attempts.
Keep the wave near your tower to protect your ADC from (Q) and roaming.
Ward river and tri-brush to track (E) roam paths and avoid ADC isolation.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W) poke and allows (Q)+(W) trades with ADC follow-up.
Level 6 (R) grants long-range pick potential; use with support follow-up for kills.
First marksman item increases sustained slows and DPS, strengthening lane control.

Win conditions

Convert (R) stuns into kills or objective control with support follow-up.
Maintain vision around river and dragon to track Bard's roam timers and deny picks.
Use slows and poke to force enemy ADC into unsafe positioning, enabling your ADC pressure.

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