Nautilus vs Brand

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to threaten (Q) hook angles and deny Brand's poke setup.
Enable ADC follow-up by layering passive root after landing (Q) for lockdown.
Use engage pressure to force Brand back, limiting his poke and ADC access.

Trading pattern

Threaten (Q) from brush, then auto-attack to trigger passive root for ADC follow-up.
Save (R) to lock down targets who can dodge (Q) and secure kills.
Avoid engaging without ADC range or when wave is too large to prevent punish windows.

Danger windows

Respect Brand's empowered (Q) stun after he applies Blaze, enabling enemy ADC follow-up.
Avoid clustered positioning to reduce damage from (R) bounce in 2v2 fights.
Be cautious when (Q) hook is missed, as it creates a large punish window from Brand's poke.

Early game

Win level 2 race to exploit (Q) hook plus passive root for kill threat.
Keep wave thin near your side to allow safe engages and deny Brand's poke.
Maintain brush control to hide hook angles and prevent (W) poke from landing easily.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) plus passive root, enabling strong all-in with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants (W) shield and (E) slow, improving engage safety and peel potential.
Level 6 (R) guarantees knockup, turning fights when combined with ADC damage and river vision.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and hook pressure into denied Brand ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Roam safely after crashing wave with ADC, placing river vision to secure dragon and mid pressure.
Use (R) engage around confirmed ADC follow-up to start fights and secure objective setups.

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