How to win lane as Taliyah against Brand · 49.28% win rate over 349 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand wins level 1: his Pillar of Flame and Sear out-range and out-poke your single Q. |
| Level 2 | Brand | At level 2 his Blaze-stun combo can burst you before you have the tools to trade back. |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | Level 3 hands you the W-E kill combo that punishes his zero mobility. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Through levels 4-5 you dominate trades because he must waste his stun defensively and cannot escape your W. |
| Level 6 | Taliyah | At 6 your Weaver's Wall roam and W-E all-in beat his immobile setup. |
| First item | Taliyah | First item keeps you ahead as you out-sustain his mana and out-shove his wave tempo. |
| Two+ items | Taliyah | With two items you pick him first before he stacks Pyroclasm, staying firmly favoured. |
Levels 1-2 favour Brand: his Pillar of Flame and Sear poke out-range and out-damage your level-1 Q, and a landed Blaze-stun Q can chunk half your bar before you have W to answer.
