Who Wins
- You lose early trades 1-3 due to Brand's superior range and poke with W-E combos while your Q fear requires close positioning.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with R if you can get close, but Brand's burst combo can still outdamage you if he lands Q.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve using Q fear when Brand steps up for CS or abilities, then following with E drain for sustain.
- You need to wait for Brand to use abilities on minions before engaging, as his full combo will chunk you heavily.
Wave Control
- You should focus on shoving waves quickly with E to minimize Brand's poke windows and roam for picks.
- Avoid extended laning phases where Brand can repeatedly poke you down with superior range and wave control.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade when Brand has his full combo available, as his W-E-Q burst will outdamage your fear-drain combo.
- Avoid standing in minion waves where his W can hit both you and minions for maximum efficiency.
