Zilean vs Brand

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Control brush to deny (W) poke angles and protect ADC access.
Use (Q) bomb zones to pressure Brand's grouped poke setup and enable ADC trades.
Prioritize speeding ADC for trades and hold (R) to counter Brand's burst all-ins.

Trading pattern

Engage with double (Q) bombs when (Q) stun is on cooldown to maximize ADC follow-up.
Hold (E) speed to control trade distance and help ADC kite Brand's poke.
Avoid throwing single bombs without ADC follow-up or when wave blocks bomb placement.

Danger windows

Respect Brand's empowered (Q) stun after (W) or (E) applies Blaze; avoid clustered ADC positioning.
Beware of level 6 (R) bounce damage in grouped fights; keep ADC spread and ready to disengage.
Avoid standing near brush where Brand can land (W) poke and set up stun angles.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and contest wave only if ADC can follow engage.
Deny Brand brush control to limit his (W) poke from fog and create safer ADC space.
Use wave states to set bomb zones that punish clustered enemy positioning.

Power spikes

Level 2: Use early (Q) bomb plus (E) speed to contest Brand's poke and stun setup.
Level 3: Full kit unlocks double bomb threat; leverage brush control and cooldown tracking.
Level 6: Use (R) to negate Brand's all-in burst and enable aggressive ADC trades or safe disengage.

Win conditions

Convert bomb zone control and speed boosts into ADC poke windows and denied enemy ADC positioning.
Set river vision around dragon to track Brand's roam timer and enable safe ADC roams.
Use (R) to save focused ADCs from Brand's burst and force enemy cooldown inefficiency in fights.

Tip: For Zilean vs Brand, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
