Is Vex better when played alongside Bard?

There is no ideal companion for Vex that will no matter what be their #1 ally. However, Bard is a pretty good ally for Vex. By locking into the same side as Vex, he improves their win rate by 2.5% to 51.3%. This proves that there is a potentially meaningful bond between Vex and Bard that results in them performing stronger together than alone.

Bard has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means Vex players need to be very careful when finding Bard comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing on the same side, Vex players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to support your allies. Together, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Although, by bringing Vex and Bard together, you may not be providing your team a great deal of attack damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Bard ally, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
