Who Wins

  • You lose most direct trades due to Brand's superior damage and range, but can survive lane through W sustain and careful positioning.
  • Post-6 the matchup becomes even more difficult as Brand's R can easily kill you if you're caught out of position.

How to Trade

  • Use Q defensively when Brand tries to engage, then immediately W yourself to heal back damage taken.
  • Only trade aggressively when Brand wastes his Q, as this gives you a window to land your own Q and proc your E passive safely.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely under tower and using W to sustain through Brand's poke rather than trying to match his push.
  • Let the wave come to you where you're safer from all-ins and can farm more effectively with tower assistance.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never try to match Brand's roam timing as you lack the waveclear to push and follow quickly enough.
  • Don't waste mana on aggressive Q attempts when Brand has his abilities up, as missing leaves you vulnerable to his full combo.
