Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Brand's superior range and damage output with Q-W combos.
- Post-6, you still lose direct 1v1s as Brand's full combo with R can 100-0 you, but your R gives you map pressure and roaming advantages.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to W-Q when Brand uses abilities on minions, then immediately back off to avoid his retaliation.
- Never try to extended trade as his passive burn and lower cooldowns will outdamage you significantly.
Wave Control
- Push waves quickly with Q and W, then look to roam with R rather than fighting Brand directly.
- Focus on shoving and backing to avoid his poke, as you cannot match his wave control or trading power in lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Brand's roaming or fight him in river skirmishes early game.
- Your power comes from cross-map plays with R, not from winning the direct matchup against his superior damage and range.
