This demonstrates that there is pretty good strategic relationship between Ashe and Bard that results in them performing at the top of their game together than without each other.

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

Fighting cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
