Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and safety, as your Q-E combo outranges Brand's abilities and you can farm safely with E.
- Post-6 Brand becomes more dangerous with his R burst potential, but you still maintain the range advantage if you position correctly.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-E-auto when Brand steps up to CS or uses abilities on minions.
- Always look to proc your passive with autos after landing abilities, but retreat immediately after to avoid his W-Q retaliation.
Wave Control
- Push early levels with E to establish priority, then maintain neutral positioning to avoid Brand's W-Q combo range.
- Focus on keeping the wave in the center where you can use your range advantage while having escape routes to either side.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up for CS when your Q is on cooldown, as Brand can easily land W-Q-E for massive damage.
- Avoid clustering near low-health minions where Brand can hit both you and the wave with his W, giving him both poke and push advantage.
