| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Level 1 you out-threaten Brand at melee with his Q on a long cooldown. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 he still has no dash to escape your auto-Q step-ups. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 E-block plus W-stun shuts down his W-into-Q combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Levels 4-5 you walk down an immobile Brand every time his Q is spent. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Level 6 R Grand Starfall closes before he stacks Blaze, and his R is no escape. |
| First item | Pantheon | On first item you out-tempo him with roams he can't follow. |
| Two+ items | Pantheon | Late, his total lack of mobility lets you dive through his burst and keep the lead. |
Levels 1-2 you sit at melee and threaten every last-hit; Brand's early Q is on a long cooldown, so once he uses it to poke or push you can walk up freely. He has no way to disengage your auto-Q pressure.
