Read from Brand's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Milio.
This is Brand's own plan; across 4,408 pooled games the lane is leaning Milio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | You dominate level 1 as an offensive mage against a passive no-engage enchanter. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Your level-2 W-Q burst kills before his early shields matter. |
| Level 3 | Brand | At level 3 your DoT poke out-trades his thin shield uptime. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Through 4-5 his shields keep pace — the lane tightens to even. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Pyroclasm still ricochets at 6, but Breath of Life can cleanse it. |
| First item | Brand | First item, his shields start absorbing your DoT faster than you reapply it. |
| Two+ items | Milio | At 2+ items Milio's super-heals and R Durability finally out-sustain your burst. |
You own levels 1-2: Milio is a pure enchanter with no engage and thin early shields, so poke him with Q auto-attack and look for the level-2 W-Q-E all-in before his sustain ramps. His shields are thin early and he has no engage, so keep Blaze applied and burn through them rather than trying to out-poke the heal. Hold the stun for the moment his ADC steps forward. Watch the mana bar, because a lane you cannot pressure is one you also cannot recover from.
