Rakan vs Brand

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to threaten (W) engage and create angles for your ADC follow-up.
Prioritize protecting your ADC from Brand's poke and stun setup through timely (E) shields.
Leverage your mobility to engage or disengage quickly, denying Brand's poke lane pressure.

Trading pattern

Engage with (W) only when your ADC is ready to follow up on knockup.
Hold (E) shield for peel if Brand threatens with empowered (Q) stun or poke.
Deny Brand's poke by controlling brush and forcing him to miss (W) or (Q) setups.

Danger windows

Respect Brand's empowered (Q) stun after he applies Blaze; avoid clustered positioning.
Beware of (W) poke from brush or behind minions denying your ADC's approach.
Level 6 (R) bounce damage punishes grouped fights; spread out to reduce threat.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by coordinating (W)+(E) with your ADC for knockup follow-up.
Deny Brand brush control to limit his (W) poke angles and reduce enemy ADC poke.
Crash waves with your ADC before roaming to maintain lane safety against Brand's poke.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W)+(E) combo; use it to pressure Brand before he sets Blaze.
Level 3 grants full kit; use (Q) healing and (W) engage to offset Brand's poke.
Level 6 charm enables multi-target engage; coordinate with ADC and river vision for kills.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and engage cooldowns into safe all-ins with ADC follow-up.
Roam after crashing waves with ADC safe to pressure mid and secure river vision.
Use (R) charm in teamfights to initiate or peel, enabling your ADC's damage and objective setups.
