How to Play with Sett as Bard in LoL

The Bard Sett synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Sett, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Bard sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sett. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Sett helps Bard perform not as well in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Bard is an ally to Sett, he sees a small increase in his total damage output. This change could signal that Sett provides cover for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played together with Sett on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Sett.

Moreover, when Bard plays with Sett on the same team, he often takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Sett does a decent job of protecting Bard during team fights.

Is Bard better when played alongside Sett?

There is no one best ally for Bard that will no matter what be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Sett is a very typical ally for Bard. By locking into the same team as Bard, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 52.3%. This signals that there is a weak synergy between Bard and Sett that results in them performing at the same level together than without each other.

Sett has a much lower diffuclty than Bard. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Sett allies to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to work well with you.

Working on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Bard and Sett together, you will not be giving your other allies a lot of magic damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Sett ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
