Brand vs Zilean

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to create (W) poke angles and threaten empowered (Q) stuns for ADC follow-up.
Deny Zilean's double bomb zones by spacing and forcing him to miss setups.
Maintain wave state that allows your ADC safe access and punishes grouped enemy positioning.

Trading pattern

Apply Blaze with (W) or (E) before threatening (Q) stun to maximize ADC follow-up.
Deny Zilean's engage angles by controlling brush and spacing to avoid double bomb stuns.
Hold (Q) stun to peel for your ADC if Zilean or his ADC attempts to engage or kite aggressively.

Danger windows

Respect Zilean's double bomb (Q) stun range and avoid clustering your ADC in bomb zones.
Watch for (E) speed-ups enabling enemy ADC kite or engage; hold peel until committed.
Beware level 6 (R) revive that forces you to delay all-ins or bait cooldowns before committing.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and contest only if your ADC can immediately follow your poke.
Hold brush to threaten (W) poke and prevent Zilean from safely planting bombs.
Avoid pushing the wave unnecessarily to keep your ADC safe from (Q) zone control.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your poke plus stun combo; use it to pressure with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 completes your full Blaze combo; leverage brush control to punish Zilean's cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) bounce all-in amplifies kill pressure; use with confirmed ADC follow-up and river vision.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and poke pressure into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Use level 6 ultimate with your ADC's burst to secure kills or force enemy disengages.
Set river vision to control dragon setup and enable safe roams or objective fights with your ADC.
