He pokes the warden — collect at the edges, flay the rotation gap, and lantern the dive his zone funds.
Track: Brand's Q — Sear (Stun, 8–6s cooldown). Q only stuns the ablaze — after eating W or E, the stun line is the dodge.
Read from Thresh's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Brand.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand's cheap Pillar-Sear poke chunks you with no sustain answer, favoring him. |
| Level 2 | Brand | His level-2 combo out-damages your hook trade, so he leads. |
| Level 3 | Brand | He keeps zoning you with AoE burst through level 3, favoring Brand. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By 4-5 you're durable enough to answer, evening it to skill. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your Box and hook offset his Pyroclasm swing at 6, keeping it even. |
| First item | Even / skill | One item lets you all-in when his spells are down, staying even. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late, his immobility lets your hook delete him, balancing his burst. |
Brand owns the first three levels: his Pillar plus Sear stun combo pokes you and your ADC down with cheap, long-range burst while you have no sustain and can't hook through his minion wall safely. His rotation out-poke ranges your hook, so hold position and let your carry farm behind the wave. Collect souls in the safe windows, keep the lantern for the moment his stun lands, and throw the chain only once his cooldowns are already spent.
