How to win lane as Yone against Brand · 51.93% win rate over 2,207 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Brand has no dash at level 1, so you dodge Sear and control the trades. |
| Level 2 | Yone | At level 2 he still can't threaten a stun on you reliably, keeping you ahead. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Your level 3 E-Q3 punishes his cooldown gaps before he re-detonates. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Through 4-5 you pick engages on his down abilities, holding the advantage. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Fate Sealed lands on his immobile frame at 6, keeping level 6 yours. |
| First item | Yone | First-item crit kills him before Conflagration ramps, extending your lead. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late-game you dive his position and he has no self-peel, so you stay ahead. |
Brand is a skillshot poke mage with no dash, so at levels 1-2 you sidestep his Q Sear and walk up to Q-poke him while he's forced to farm carefully.
