Guide to Synergizing Lulu and Bard

Tips for Playing as Lulu with Bard

Glitterlance can be fired at odd angles depending on where your cursor is - Moving your cursor closer to Pix and Lulu will change your area of effect size considerably.

Consider casting Help, Pix! on ranged attackers for the Pix boost and Wild Growth on Tanks or Fighters for the added initiation power.

Advice to Understand How Bard Will Play

Don't forget that enemies can also use your Magical Journey doorways, and that your ultimate can also hit your allies!

Let your Caretaker's Shrines charge up - they heal for a lot more when at full power.

It's important to collect chimes to improve your meep's attacks, but don't neglect your lane partner! Try to make a big entrance by bringing an ally into the lane with you with Magical Journey.

How to Play with Bard as Lulu in LoL

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

Overall, Lulu sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Bard. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Bard helps Lulu perform worse in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Lulu is an ally to Bard, she gets a massive increase in her full damage dealt. This may demonstrate that Bard supports by providing cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Lulu is played alongside Bard on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Bard.

Additionally, when Lulu plays with Bard on the same side, she typically takes much more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Bard does a poor job of protecting Lulu during teamfights.

Is Lulu better when played alongside Bard?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Lulu that will always be her top synergy. Yet, Bard is a very bad companion for Lulu. By playing on the same team as Lulu, he drops their win rate by -8.0% to 38.9%. This proves that there is a terrible bond between Lulu and Bard that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Bard has a much greater difficulty compared to Lulu. That means you should be careful when arranging Bard comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much higher level of skill to work well with you.

When playing together, Lulu players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Combined, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

In contrast, by aligning Lulu and Bard together, you probably will not be providing your other allies much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to include other champs on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Bard ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
