How to win lane as Brand against Cassiopeia · 49.24% win rate over 132 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Cassiopeia's poke is too weak this early to punish your Q trades and passive stacking. |
| Level 2 | Brand | You still out-trade her before her ability haste and poison stacking ramp up. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Her sustained poke damage begins to outpace your trades as she gains levels and mana. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's scaling poke and kiting now consistently out-damage your trade attempts. |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Her Petrify grounds you and enables a full burst combo you can't answer without cooldowns up. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | Her ground-into-combo threat remains the defining risk of this level even past 6. |
| Two+ items | Brand | Your first-item burst restores your kill pressure, letting you punish overextensions faster than she can poke you down. |
Levels 1-2 favor you cleanly — Cassiopeia's poke is weak before she gets ability haste and mana to spam Noxious Blast, so you can out-trade her with Q and passive stacks whenever she pushes for CS. By level 3 she starts stacking poison procs and her sustained damage begins climbing, and by levels 4-5 her poke plus movement speed steadily outpaces your trades if she's landing spells — this is where the matchup starts slipping toward her.
