Favour timeline — the windows in Brand's game plan

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

This is Brand's own plan; across 7,541 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1BrandYou win level 1: Seraphine's early Q is mana-hungry and your Blaze poke out-values her weak trade.
Level 2BrandYou win level 2 with W-Q first; her low base damage can't answer the stun-and-auto tax.
Level 3BrandLevel 3 stays yours as poke compounds and Seraphine is taxed on mana and note stacks.
Levels 4-5BrandLevels 4-5 favor you: your Sear stun interrupts her Q and E while you out-range her poke.
Level 6BrandLevel 6 still favors you because R Encore is slow and telegraphed and she's still weaker in lane.
First itemBrandFirst item favors you as you out-burst her before her shields and CC fully come online.
Two+ itemsSeraphine2+ items favors Seraphine as her shields negate burn and E-into-R sets up teamfight charms.

How to beat Seraphine as Brand: the early game

Levels 1-3 are yours. Seraphine's early Q High Note is mana-expensive and her base damage is low, so stack Blaze and detonate Pillar of Flame (W) whenever she steps up to poke or last-hit, then follow with Sear (Q). Shove the wave to tax her mana and deny her note stacks. Her E Beat Drop is a slow linear root, so side-step it behind minions and she can't set up her combo on you. Her early poke is expensive and her base damage is low, so keep Blaze applied and win the mana war rather than the damage one. Hold Sear for the moment she is already burning. Stay off her cast line so a single skillshot never catches you and your ADC together.
