Karma into Brandmedium

Overview

Use poke and shield to enable ADC trades and deny Brand's poke angles.
Control brush to prevent Brand from landing and setting up his stun.
Prioritize wave states that allow your ADC to safely trade and pressure plates.

Trading pattern

Engage trades when and shield are available to maximize ADC follow-up.
Hold peel until Brand uses stun or poke to protect your ADC from burst.
Deny brush access to limit Brand's poke angles and reduce enemy ADC damage windows.

Danger windows

Respect stun after he applies Blaze; avoid clustering to reduce ADC vulnerability.
Beware of Brand's level 6 bounce damage in grouped fights; keep ADC spread and ready to disengage.
Avoid extended trades when your shield is down to prevent being hard engaged upon.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with your ADC to secure early poke and brush control.
Use early wave push to create lane space and deny Brand's grouped poke.
Ward river early to spot Brand's potential roams and protect your ADC.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your main poke and shield combo; use it to pressure Brand and his ADC.
Level 3 grants root on and full poke kit; leverage this for stronger trades with ADC follow-up.
Level 6 ultimate enhances all-in and peel; coordinate with ADC for river control and objective setup.

Win conditions

Convert poke and shield trades into lane priority to deny enemy ADC positioning and access.
Use wave control and brush denial to create safe roam windows for mid pressure or vision setup.
Coordinate level 6 ultimate with ADC for strong peel or engage during dragon and teamfights.
