Read from Brand's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lux.
This is Brand's own plan; across 6,555 pooled games the lane is leaning Brand.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | At level 1 your instant W beats Lux's dodgeable Q poke. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Your level-2 W-on-E burst out-trades her slower snare setup. |
| Level 3 | Brand | At level 3 your combo damage still pressures her in short trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as both burst each other on a landed CC. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At level 6 it's a skill duel of Pyroclasm versus her Q-R one-shot. |
| First item | Even / skill | First-item power is even; the exchange hinges on dodging her poke. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At 2+ items both combos threaten a kill and skill decides it. |
You edge the level 1-2 exchanges because your W-on-E combo is instant burst while Lux's Q is a dodgeable skillshot; punish her when she whiffs a Light Binding and out-poke her with Blaze burn. Play around minions so her Q can't reach you cleanly. Your rotation is instant and her opener is dodgeable, so stand off her line and answer with the burn. Keep Blaze applied so Sear stuns rather than chips. Her root is the one thing that stops you, so make her spend it on your ADC before you step forward yourself.
