How to win lane as Qiyana against Brand · 50.96% win rate over 728 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | You out-trade his immobile level 1 and control brush for camo flanks. |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | Level 2 Brand still can't punish your walk-up past a single Pillar. |
| Level 3 | Qiyana | Level 3 W-E-Q dives a champ whose only peel is a conditional stun. |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Through 4-5 you all-in freely whenever his Sear is on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Qiyana | Your R-into-wall kills him at 6 before Pyroclasm can matter. |
| First item | Qiyana | First-item burst one-rotations his squishy, dash-less frame. |
| Two+ items | Qiyana | You stay favored two items deep as long as you flank and one-shot him. |
You are favored levels 1-2 but must respect his range. Brand's Pillar of Flame out-ranges your walk-up, so dodge it and don't take free burn; his passive burn is his whole early threat. Set up brush control so you can use element-Q camo flanks rather than trading straight into his poke.
