| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Janna | At levels 1-2 Brand can't chain his combo, so you hold the edge. |
| Level 2 | Janna | Your shield and W soak his single-ability early poke. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Stacked Blaze poke and Q-stun out-damage your sustain at 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | His combo and zoning dominate the 4-5 poke war. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Pyroclasm at 6 adds burst your shield can't fully answer. |
| First item | Brand | First-item Liandry's spike lets him zone you off farm. |
| Two+ items | Janna | Late-game Monsoon and shields flip the fight back to you. |
Levels 1-2 are manageable: Brand only has one poke ability leveled and can't chain his combo, so your W-slow and shield soak the odd Pillar or Sear. Zone him and punish step-ups with Q while his kit is still single-ability. Don't let him free-hit, but you hold the early edge.
