Bard has a greater difficulty than Senna. That means you should be careful when finding Bard comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Working on the same side, Senna players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide a lot of utility for your team. When paired, these champions should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
