How to win lane as Brand against Orianna · 48.25% win rate over 257 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand's instant burst outpaces Orianna's setup-dependent poke from the very first level. |
| Level 2 | Brand | The gap holds at level 2 since her ball needs time to threaten damage Brand already dealt. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Brand continues to out-trade her as her all-in potential remains weak without landed CC. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Through levels 4-5 Brand's damage and wave pressure keep Orianna on the back foot. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Pyroclasm's proactive burst outclasses her ultimate's reliance on a grouped fight at level 6. |
| First item | Brand | Brand's item-fueled burst keeps him ahead of Orianna's scaling through mid-game skirmishes. |
| Two+ items | Orianna | Orianna's Command: Shockwave remains a game-flipping teamfight tool that swings the late-game phase to her if his team is caught grouped. |
Brand wins the lane trade from level 1 since his instant AoE burst outpaces Orianna's slower ball-based poke, and she needs several seconds of setup to threaten real damage that Brand can already have dealt and reset off.
