Read from Brand's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Renata Glasc.

This is Brand's own plan; across 652 pooled games the lane is leaning Renata Glasc.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1BrandYou win level 1: Renata's early damage is weak and your Blaze poke out-values her reactive kit.
Level 2BrandYou win level 2 with W-Q first; her low base trade can't answer the stun-and-auto tax.
Level 3BrandLevel 3 stays yours as poke compounds and Renata can only shield, not trade back.
Levels 4-5BrandLevels 4-5 favor you: your Sear stun pre-empts her engage and she has no ranged answer.
Level 6BrandLevel 6 still favors you because R Hostile Takeover is a slow wave she must land while exposed.
First itemBrandFirst item favors you: Liandry's burn out-ranges her and chews through her shields.
Two+ itemsRenata Glasc2+ items favors Renata as her E shields negate poke and Q/R flip your teamfights.

How to beat Renata Glasc as Brand: the early game

Levels 1-3 are yours. Renata has weak early damage and leans on her E Loyalty Program shield and Q Handshake pick rather than lane bullying, so stack Blaze and detonate Pillar of Flame (W) whenever she steps up, then chase with Sear (Q). Shove the wave to limit her roam and deny her the setup for Handshake. Keep minions between you so her Q's slow-traveling bind can't cleanly latch onto you or your ADC. Her damage is weak early and she leans on a shield, so burn through it rather than trying to out-poke the shield itself. Keep Blaze applied and hold Sear for the moment her tether lands. Watch the mana bar and let your ADC punish the window the stun creates.
