How to win lane as Brand against Aurora · 50.76% win rate over 262 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Level 1: Her lack of a dash means she eats free poke every time she tries to farm at range. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Level 2: Continued poke dominance as she still has no answer to Pillar of Flame's range. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Level 3: Full combo access widens your lead while her all-in tools remain locked pre-6. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Level 4-5: Sustained CS denial and safe trades compound your advantage before her spike. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | Level 6: Between Worlds gives her a stealth dash-and-escape that lets her dictate engagements. |
| First item | Aurora | First item: Burst-item Aurora out-trades your poke once she can close distance reliably. |
| Two+ items | Aurora | 2+ items: Her mobility and combo scaling give her the edge in prolonged skirmishes over your static kit. |
You control the pre-6 lane cleanly — Aurora's short-range Q trades and lack of a dash mean she has to walk into your Pillar of Flame poke range to farm, so you consistently win exchanges and deny her CS.
