Who Wins
- Xayah-Brand wins pre-6 through Brand's consistent poke damage and superior trading patterns that your Q cannot match.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R execute potential, but Brand R plus Xayah R burst still favors them in extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke and build Overwhelm stacks, then coordinate with Jinx rockets when you land E root for guaranteed follow-up damage.
- Your W can reflect Brand's abilities back, creating windows for Jinx to position aggressively with minigun form.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Match Brand's waveclear with Q while building Overwhelm stacks on both enemies for R execute potential.
- Focus on slow-pushing to create opportunities for E root setups rather than hard shoving into their superior 2v2.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste W on minor poke since it's your only defense against Brand's burst combo.
- Using E without proper follow-up from Jinx wastes your primary engage tool and leaves you vulnerable to Xayah feather setups.
