Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 2v2s due to your short range and weak early damage output against Varus's poke and Pyke's engage threat.
  • Post-6 you win if you can land E to set up Brand's combo, but Pyke's mobility makes this difficult.

Synergy & Trading

  • Focus on Q farming while Brand zones with W-E, then look for E cage setups when enemies are slowed by Brand's abilities.
  • Your burst becomes lethal once Brand applies his passive stacks.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push waves quickly with Q to minimize Varus poke windows and create roam timings for Brand.
  • Avoid slow pushing as it gives Pyke too many engage angles.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use E defensively too early - Pyke can easily re-engage after it expires and you'll have no follow-up for Brand's combos.
