This is Milio's own plan; across 4,408 pooled games the lane is leaning Milio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Level 1 Brand's ranged W poke out-damages your heal from safety. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Level 2 his Q stun combo out-trades your immobile lane. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Level 3 his sustained burn pressure beats your sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Levels 4-5 you can't close range or dodge his AoE poke. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Level 6 his R bounces lethally between your clustered pair. |
| First item | Brand | First item his Liandry's burn still pressures through your shields. |
| Two+ items | Milio | Two items your team heal and ult cleanse outlast his single-target burst. |
You're behind levels 1-6 here. Brand is a poke-and-burst mage: his W (Pillar of Flame) chunks from range and Q (Sear) stuns anything already ablaze, out-damaging your W zone heal in every trade. Milio has no way to close range or punish him, so you eat poke and can only top the wave off. Stand apart from your ADC to deny easy AoE and cleanse only the stuns that matter. His burst arrives faster than your heals can cover, so stop trading and let your carry farm from behind the wave. Drop the campfire on ground he is not casting at, hold the kick for a step-up, and shield before the rotation rather than after the first tick.
