Who Wins
- You win level 2 with Brand's W+Q combo and your range advantage, but lose level 6 as Lucian+Soraka's sustain and all-in potential with R becomes too strong.
- Your early game dominance window closes once Soraka hits 6 and can negate your poke damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Abuse your 650 range by auto-attacking when Lucian goes for CS, then immediately step back to avoid his E+Q combo.
- When Brand lands Q stun, follow up with W trap placement and headshot auto for maximum damage output.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early level 2 advantage to establish lane dominance, then maintain slow push to build minion advantage for trades.
- Avoid hard shoving after level 6 as Soraka's sustain makes poke ineffective and you become vulnerable to ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W traps defensively in lane as escape tools - save them for follow-up on Brand's CC or zone control.
- Don't get baited into extended trades after level 6 when Soraka can outheal your damage output.
