Pyke vs Brand

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control and (W) stealth to threaten hooks and create pick pressure on Brand's immobile poke lane.
Prioritize denying Brand's grouped poke by engaging when ADC follow-up is ready and brush is controlled.
Leverage Pyke's roam potential after wave crashes to pressure mid and secure vision around dragon.

Trading pattern

Hide (Q) hook threat in brush or (W) stealth, then pull targets into ADC burst before using (E) to block escapes.
Hold engage cooldowns until (W) poke or (Q) stun is on cooldown to reduce incoming poke.
Coordinate engages when ADC can immediately follow up, punishing Brand's immobility and lack of escape.

Danger windows

Respect Brand's empowered (Q) stun after he applies Blaze with (W) or (E), especially when bot lane is grouped.
Avoid grouped positioning that enables (R) bounce damage to punish clustered fights.
Watch for Brand's poke cooldowns; avoid engaging when (W) and (Q) are ready to maximize ADC safety.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (Q) hook combined with (E) stun to enable ADC burst and zone Brand.
Control brush to deny Brand's poke angles and force him to burn cooldowns defensively.
Crash waves after winning trades to open roam windows and force Brand to stay grouped with ADC.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) hook plus (E) stun, enabling strong all-in windows with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants full kit and (W) stealth, increasing pick threat and roam potential after wave control.
Level 6 execute resets allow extended skirmishes, punishing Brand's clustered positioning and immobility.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and successful hooks into ADC access denial and early kills to snowball lane.
Use wave crashes to create roam timers, applying river pressure and securing vision for dragon setups.
Leverage level 6 execute resets to force favorable 2v2 fights and extend skirmishes with ADC follow-up.
