How to win lane as Leona against Brand · 55.76% win rate over 2,491 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand wins level 1 because his W-E poke out-ranges every trade you can offer. |
| Level 2 | Brand | At 2 his Ablaze-enabled Q stun interrupts your engage before you can lock him. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Level 3 his ranked W and passive stacks widen the poke lead you can't answer walking up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Levels 4-5 he zones you with Q-stun threat and burst that outdamages your combo. |
| Level 6 | Brand | At 6 his Pyroclasm and Q-detonate can lock and burst you through your R dash. |
| First item | Brand | First item Liandry's shreds you through your shield during any mistimed engage. |
| Two+ items | Brand | Late his AoE teamfight burst and spreading passive far outscale your single-target lockdown. |
Brand wins lane from level 1: his W Pillar of Flame and E Conflagration out-range and out-poke your entire trade pattern, and once you're Ablazed his Q becomes a stun that interrupts your E dash — you can't walk up freely, so you must all-in through a minion screen or bleed HP.
