How to win lane as Blitzcrank against Brand · 55.69% win rate over 1,810 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand wins level 1 because his Q Sear and W poke out-range your walk-up grab attempts. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Brand wins level 2 as Pillar of Flame plus passive Blaze chunk you before your Q is ready. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Brand wins level 3 because his sustained ablaze poke keeps zoning your grab range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even skill since a landed hook kills him but his poke still punishes misses. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is skill as your Static Field burst trades against his Pyroclasm ult on any all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even because one clean grab deletes him while his poke otherwise controls the lane. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game stays skill: a single hook ends Brand, but a whiff means his AoE burst punishes you. |
Brand wins the early game: his level-2 W Pillar of Flame plus Q Sear stun out-poke your short walk-up range, and every time you step up to fish a Rocket Grab you eat burst, so you're forced to farm behind minions rather than trade.
