Who Wins

  • Pre-6, you lose most trades due to Brand's superior poke and zone control with Q-W combos.
  • Post-6, you can win fights if you land Q on either enemy and follow up immediately with R and E for lockdown.

Synergy & Trading

  • Look for Q hooks when Brand uses abilities on minions or when enemies are positioned aggressively for CS.
  • Follow successful hooks with E immediately, then R to keep them in Jinx's range for extended trades.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • You should roam frequently after level 6 when Jinx can safely farm alone.
  • Optimal timings are when the wave is pushing toward your tower or when Jinx recalls, allowing you to impact mid or jungle fights.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q on minions or use it predictably when Brand has W available to zone you.
  • Missing Q against this lane gives them 15+ seconds of free aggression where they can force trades or all-ins.
