How to win lane as Bard against Lulu · 51.08% win rate over 7,192 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | Lulu out-pokes you at level 1 with Pix autos before your Meeps ramp. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | At 2 her Pix poke and Glitterlance slow control the trade and dodge your stun. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | Level 3 her sustained poke and E shielding keep her ahead in the exchange. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through levels 4-5 your Meep scaling and pick threat pull the lane back to even. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 her Wild Growth counters your all-in but you retain a pick if she wastes Poly. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as your poke scaling offsets her shields. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | With 2+ items her Polymorph and enchant scaling out-value your utility and picks. |
Lulu wins the early poke war: Pix adds free ranged damage to her autos and Q, out-chipping your Meeps, and her Glitterlance slow both pokes and sets up her own trades. Bard's Q is your only answer, but she can Polymorph you mid-stun-charge or slow you out of it. Farm safely, block Q lines with minions, and don't force trades you'll lose.
