This is Brand's own plan; across 708 pooled games the lane is leaning Aurelion Sol.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Level 1: Breath of Light is a channel your Sear cancels, so poke trades are yours. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Level 2: Continued poke dominance — he needs Stardust stacks before his damage matters. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Level 3: Full combo access widens your lead while his damage output remains low. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4-5: Sustained CS denial and poke pressure compound as he scales slowly. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6: Falling Star telegraphs its landing, and Sear cancels the Breath of Light behind it. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item: Liandry's burn punishes him whenever Astral Flight's 22s cooldown is down. |
| Two+ items | Aurelion Sol | 2+ items: Stardust makes every ability permanently stronger, and Singularity executes you inside it. |
You dominate the early lane — Breath of Light is a channel he has to hold at 750 range, and any CC cancels it, so your Pillar of Flame poke wins trades and denies his CS at very little risk to you. Track Astral Flight is 22s at rank 1 — while it is down he is a stationary battery. Your Pillar of Flame punishes Breath of Light, the 750-range channel he has to hold to farm and trade — Sear cancels that channel outright, so every wave hands you a clean window to poke him down.
