Their sustain answers chip slower than the burn deals it — rotation the pair and stun the refund.
Track: Nami's Q — Aqua Prison (12–8s cooldown). The bubble starts every Nami play — sidestep it and her kit is small numbers.
Read from Brand's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nami.
This is Brand's own plan; across 5,519 pooled games the lane is leaning Nami.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | You out-pressure her level 1 with burst against a dodgeable bubble and no shield. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Level-2 W-Q kills before her W heal ramps. |
| Level 3 | Brand | At 3 your DoT poke beats her single-target sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Levels 4-5 you keep out-chunking her ADC faster than W heals it. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Pyroclasm out-ranges Tidal Wave so you dictate the 6. |
| First item | Brand | First-item DoT still out-paces her bounce healing. |
| Two+ items | Nami | At 2+ items Nami's compounding heals and R teamfight control out-sustain your burst. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Nami's bubble is dodgeable and she has no shield, only a single-target W heal, so poke aggressively and look for the level-2 W-Q all-in before she stabilizes. Her bubble is dodgeable and her heal is single-target, so keep Blaze applied and poke through it. Never stand beside your own ADC while her bubble is up. Hold Sear for the moment she is already burning, and watch the mana bar rather than trying to win every exchange.
