The jungle race — the windows in Brand's plan

Read from Brand's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Evelynn.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearBrand DominantThe Sear into Conflagration point-click burst wins the level-1 stat check. Pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and before either of you has a second camp down that is not an answer. Take the level-1 crossing and make Evelynn path away from the camps you want.
Level 2 SkirmishBrand DominantAblaze combo poke chunks half a health bar through a wall. There is no version of this Evelynn wins right now — pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and that folds on the second camp. Show on their side of the river and take the second buff and the tempo that comes with it.
Level 3 RouteBrand FavouredThe full E-Q stun rotation is your burst window before sustain kits stabilize. Evelynn can make it awkward — her early duel is a bluff, but Allure charm setups punish brush face-checks — but not as the first scuttle timer lands. Trade, then walk away with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroEven — Farm & TrackLevels 4-5 are a stalemate vs Evelynn — match their clear speed, keep river vision, and bank gold for the level-6 window instead of coin-flipping.
Level 6 BreakpointRespect Evelynn's RFrom six on she is invisible — every face-check is a charm into Last Caress — Brand loses the straight post-6 duel. Buy sweepers, hug control wards, and never path alone through her quadrant, and shift your pressure to the side of the map Demon Shade is not on.
First Item SpikeLiandry's SpikeLiandry's converts your Blaze uptime into percent-health melt that makes tanks regret existing. Your camp clear becomes one rotation per camp and your poke chunks become kill threats. Force Evelynn to contest pits where your full rotation reaches the whole team. Evelynn's first item plus camouflage is the spike that flips the matchup — the charm rotation starts killing outright.
2+ Items ScalingRespect Evelynn Late — End EarlyEvelynn out-stats you from two items on — stop taking straight 1v1s, close through objectives and picks, and keep the game on a clock.

How to beat Evelynn as Brand: the first clear and pathing

Start the buff that chains into raptors — your E-W AoE wants the multi-camps early. Track Evelynn's start through leashes and path away from their level-3 power window; your burn needs two more levels to argue back. Evelynn clears slowly and unhealthily before six, so her early pathing is usually the safest, longest route she can take.
