Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s due to short range and vulnerability to Nautilus engage, but can win post-6 with R execute potential and rocket range advantage.
- Your scaling and AOE damage in teamfights heavily favors longer trades.
Synergy & Trading
- Use rocket form to farm safely and poke when Brand lands W slow, switching to minigun only for last-hitting or all-ins.
- Stay behind Brand and use your range advantage to follow up on his CC chains.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Farm safely and avoid pushing without vision since you're vulnerable to ganks and Nautilus engage.
- Let Brand manage wave state early while you focus on scaling and staying healthy.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in minigun form when Nautilus has Q available, as you lack mobility to escape his engage.
- Avoid face-checking brushes or walking up for CS without Brand's protection.
