How to win lane as Brand against Blitzcrank · 49.73% win rate over 1,844 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Level 1 your poke out-damages Blitz and you can body-block his hook. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Level 2 W-Q spike punishes any whiffed or baited Rocket Grab. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Level 3 you out-trade him between his long hook cooldowns. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 it's even — a landed hook combo trades evenly with your burst. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is skill: your ult punishes misses but his combo still kills through it. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item stays even; one hook flips the trade despite your poke lead. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game a single pick can delete you, so it comes down to skill and positioning. |
Levels 1-3 favour you: your Q and W poke out-damage Blitz between his long hook cooldowns, so stand behind your caster minions to body-block Rocket Grab and W-Q-punish every miss while his Q is on its ~15s downtime.
