| Level 3 | Naafiri | E-Q into a whiffed stun is a guaranteed kill window for you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Your all-in outpaces his cooldown-gated combo through mid. |
| Level 6 | Naafiri | Call of the Pack dives an escape-less Brand for the kill. |
| First item | Naafiri | First-item burst one-combos him before he re-stuns. |
| Two+ items | Naafiri | Immobile and self-peel-less, Brand keeps losing your all-in even with items. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Brand's early damage is real but he has no mobility, so as long as you dodge Sear your packmates and Q bleed out-trade him.
