How to win lane as Brand against Twisted Fate · 53.73% win rate over 523 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Level 1: your Q range and Ablaze DoT already outpoke Wild Card's short-range harass, giving you the edge from first recall. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Level 2: same story — you're stacking Ablaze on every trade while TF has no answer besides walking away. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Level 3: with W added you can zone his cs attempts entirely, keeping the lane firmly in your favor. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Levels 4-5: full combo threat plus Ablaze stacking means he's losing the wave every time he tries to last-hit. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Level 6: your Pyroclasm punishes his Destiny commitment harder than his kit punishes you, so the power spike stays yours. |
| First item | Brand | 1st item: Luden's/Liandry's burst outscales his card damage completely in any trade. |
| Two+ items | Brand | 2+ items: you continue to out-damage and out-poke him even as the game scales, keeping this a Brand-favored matchup throughout. |
Levels 1-2 already favor you — TF has no reliable way to punish Pillar of Flame poke, and Wild Card's slow travel time means he's rarely landing first hits. By levels 3-5 you're stacking Ablaze for free every time he pushes to farm, and he has to play from max range or concede a chunk of his HP bar every wave.
