| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Bard | Level 1 is Bard's: his Q threatens a wall/minion stun immediately while your detached poke is weak. |
| Level 2 | Bard | Level 2 favours Bard as meep-empowered autos out-trade your Q and a stun means death. |
| Level 3 | Bard | Level 3 stays Bard's because his roam and pick pressure outpace you glued to a carry. |
| Levels 4-5 | Bard | Levels 4-5 favour Bard as any landed Q converts to an all-in your heal can't answer. |
| Level 6 | Bard | Level 6 is Bard's: his R can stasis your ADC or interrupt your Final Chapter channel. |
| First item | Bard | At first item Bard's chime-stacked poke and map tempo keep you behind. |
| Two+ items | Bard | With two-plus items Bard's R and pick potential warp fights beyond your enable kit. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Bard. His Q stuns off any wall or minion in a cluttered bot lane, and meep-empowered autos out-trade your Q, so you spend the phase detached and juking his poke rather than pressuring him.
