How to beat Brand as Lulu: the early game

Brand owns 1-3: his Sear-Pillar stun combo and Conflagration AoE out-trade your single-target poke and can zone your ADC off the wave, so you shield reactively, dodge the Q, and concede lane priority rather than duel. His stun into the area rotation out-trades your single-target poke, so stop contesting and put a shield on the chip. Hold your carry away from the ground he is casting at. Save the polymorph for the moment he commits, and take the wave instead of an exchange his burn wins for him.
