How to win lane as Anivia against Brand · 53.74% win rate over 789 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand: Blaze-stacking poke beats Anivia's clunky, easily-dodged level-1 Q. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Brand: continued Q-W trades outpace anything Anivia can answer with pre-6. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Brand: Pillar of Flame zoning and stacked burns keep punishing Anivia's farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Brand: still ahead on raw burst and poke uptime heading toward level 6. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Anivia: Glacial Storm's sustained zone damage now matches or beats Brand's burst. |
| First item | Anivia | Anivia: first-item burst plus egg safety net lets Anivia trade into Brand's all-in. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Anivia: wall denial of engage plus Storm damage output overtakes Brand late. |
Brand's Q and W combo hits harder and faster than anything you can answer with at levels 1-2, and every stacked Ablaze proc adds up fast against your low early HP pool. He can poke you from range while your own Q is telegraphed and easy to sidestep. Farm from max range, don't contest for Ablaze stacks, and treat any all-in under level 6 as a loss — his damage output simply outpaces your survivability this early.
