Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 to Brand's superior range and poke damage, but can punish him if he wastes abilities on minions.
- At level 6, you become the dominant force with R providing multiple dashes and burst potential that Brand cannot match.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern involves using Q to farm safely and waiting for Brand to use abilities on minions before engaging with W-E combo.
- Once you hit 6, look for R all-ins when his key abilities are on cooldown.
Wave Control
- Allow Brand to push early levels while farming with Q, then look to freeze waves near your side post-6 to create all-in opportunities.
- You want extended fights in minion waves where your passive healing can sustain through his damage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W dash for poke as it's your primary gap closer for all-ins - Brand will punish you heavily if you're stuck in his range without mobility.
- Never engage when he has full combo available unless you can guarantee the kill.
