How to win the jungle race as Brand against Lillia · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Brand's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Lillia.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Brand Favoured | The Sear into Conflagration point-click burst wins the level-1 stat check. Lillia can make it awkward — perma-kiting with passive move speed and the true-damage Q edge means melee never touch her — but not before either of you has a second camp down. Trade, then walk away with a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Brand Favoured | Ablaze combo poke chunks half a health bar through a wall. The margin is thin: Watch Out! Eep! center-hits plus passive speed kite melee kits apart, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Commit only with hard CC or a gap-closer in hand — a raw chase is a lost race. |
| Level 3 Route | Even Skirmish | Dead-even at the opening scuttle: the full E-Q stun rotation is your burst window before sustain kits stabilize, while dream-dust uptime plus W nukes out-pace anything without a dash. Whoever arrives with more HP and cooldowns wins, so track their clear and pick the moment. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Respect Lillia — Path Opposite | You lose the 4-5 duel. She farms 4-5 at speed, kiting with Blooming Blows, and commits only where Swirlseed lands first — so let them have that half of the map and cash the other half faster. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Lillia's R | Lillia wins the breakpoint outright — Lilting Lullaby sleeps the whole skirmish, and a multi-target Lullaby sleep hands her side a free opening volley. Spread out and break the sleep with planned burst, not panic autos, then trade objectives cross-map until your items land. |
| First Item Spike | Liandry's Spike | Liandry'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 Lillia to contest pits where your full rotation reaches the whole team. Lillia's first item is when the passing damage becomes real — she stops chipping and starts out-pacing health bars. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Respect Lillia Late — End Early | You do not want the late 1v1 here. She is untouchable dream damage on a permanent kite, and the sleep decides fights — so trade the map instead, and keep every fight a numbers fight. |
Start the buff that chains into raptors — your E-W AoE wants the multi-camps early. Track Lillia's start through leashes and path away from their level-3 power window; your burn needs two more levels to argue back. Lillia clears fast and safely, kiting camps with Blooming Blows, and takes very little damage getting to three.
