How to win lane as Lux against Brand · 51.66% win rate over 3,225 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand's W out-damages your Q at level 1 and he can burst you first. |
| Level 2 | Brand | At level 2 his W-Q stun combo lets him win the short trade over you. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Through level 3 his Ablaze-stun threat keeps you from contesting poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | By levels 4-5 your range and cooldowns come online and you take over. |
| Level 6 | Lux | Your level-6 R out-ranges his combo, letting you burst him from safety. |
| First item | Lux | One item makes your poke match his while your range keeps you ahead. |
| Two+ items | Lux | In 2+ item fights your snare picks him before he can channel his R. |
Brand beats you at levels 1-3: his W (Pillar of Flame) out-damages your Q and his Q (Sear) stuns you if you're already Ablazed, so play respectful, keep minions between you, and don't contest the poke war head-on. Bait his W cooldown before you step up and never eat a full W-Q combo.
