Nami vs Bard

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (E) to buff ADC trades and (W) to sustain through Bard's poke and roams.
Deny Bard's brush control to reduce his (Q) wall stun angles and protect ADC access.
Hold (Q) bubble for slowed or committed targets to enable ADC follow-up and engage windows.

Trading pattern

Sync (Q) bubble after slowing enemies with (E) or ADC crowd control for reliable picks.
Use (W) bounce trades to sustain through Bard's meep poke and force short trades.
Hold (R) for all-in or disengage when ADC follow-up is confirmed and enemy is grouped.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun angles from brush and walls; avoid overextending near terrain.
Watch for Bard's roam timing after wave crash; keep ADC safe and ward river.
Beware Bard's level 6 (R) stasis to isolate ADC; hold peel and cooldowns for counterplay.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with (E)+(W) trades to pressure Bard before his roam.
Keep wave state stable to prevent Bard from crashing and roaming safely.
Maintain river vision to track Bard's roam timer and protect your ADC from isolation.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E)+(W) trades; use this to pressure Bard before his roam.
Level 3 completes your kit with (Q); use brush control to maximize bubble threat.
Level 6 (R) enables powerful all-in or peel; coordinate with ADC and river vision.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into ADC access by buffing autos and landing (Q) after slows.
Deny Bard's ADC positioning by controlling brush and vision to limit wall stun angles.
Use wave crashes to create roam windows, set river vision, and prepare dragon setups with ADC follow-up.

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