Who Wins
- You win pre-6 2v2s through superior range and poke, but must respect Brand's burst potential if he lands Q.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more even as Jinx gains execute potential with R, but you maintain advantage through range and trap control.
Synergy & Trading
- Use your range advantage to auto-attack when enemies step up for CS, then follow with Q if they're lined up.
- Coordinate with Rakan's engage by placing W traps behind enemies when he goes in, creating follow-up damage and escape denial.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early level advantages and maintain wave control through superior range and waveclear.
- Keep the wave slightly on your side to allow Rakan roam opportunities while maintaining CS leads through range advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't overextend for poke when Brand has Q+W available, as his burst combo can chunk you heavily.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where Jinx rockets and Brand abilities can hit both you and Rakan simultaneously.
