| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | You favour L1: Brand has no early duel and his skillshots are trivial to dodge. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | You favour L2: a second Q point lets you punish his slow poke windup. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | You favour L3: your E-Q burst plus Wind Wall outclasses his single stun. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | You favour L4-5: you dash on cooldown and he has no dash to escape. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | You favour L6: Wind Wall and your knockup shut down his Pyroclasm burst. |
| First item | Yasuo | You favour 1st item: Kraken/Shieldbow lets you tank a rotation and kill an escapeless mage. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | You favour 2+ items: you dictate every engage, only losing if you dive Blaze+R raw. |
Brand is an immobile burst mage who relies on landing Sear; at levels 1-2 his skillshots are easy to sidestep and he has zero escape, so you hold priority and threaten Q.
