This is a volatile poke-heavy lane where spacing is everything. Brand has massive burst and area damage, but you have the advantage of infinite scaling and superior sustain. If you avoid his combo, you out-sustain him; if you get hit, you likely die.

This is a range-bullying lane where you have the upper hand early. You massively outrange her and can farm souls freely using P and Q, but you must respect her chase potential. If she gets on top of you, she wins the duel.
