How to win lane as Brand against Zyra · 50.46% win rate over 1,080 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because both are immobile mages trading skillshots, her E-plant burst matching your poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill as your W-Q stun spike answers her E-root-into-plant spike, decided by who lands first. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains even with her seed-plant poke matching your DoT and stun. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay a skillshot standoff between her root setup and your burst. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is an even ult clash between Brand R's bounce and Zyra's plant-amplified knock-up. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is skill because her plant DPS matches your combo, decided by dodging E. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items remains even as fights hinge on who lands their AoE CC first. |
Level 1-2 is an even poke duel: Zyra's E is a skillshot root that sets up her plant burst, while your W-Q needs an Ablaze'd target to stun. Dodge her E and bait her seeds, because a landed E leads to a plant-amplified chunk, but a whiffed one lets you punish with your own combo. It's skill-decided by who lands their first skillshot in the trade.
