Tahm Kench vs Brand

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to deny Brand's poke angles and protect your ADC from burn stacks.
Engage with (Q) stun when your ADC can follow up immediately to punish Brand's immobility.
Use (R) to isolate Brand or peel for your ADC against his burst and stun threats.

Trading pattern

Build passive stacks before engaging with (Q) to maximize stun threat and ADC follow-up.
Hold (E) shield to absorb Brand's poke and make short trades inefficient for him.
Avoid engaging if (W) or (Q) is on cooldown to prevent being kited or poked down.

Danger windows

Brand's empowered (Q) stun after applying Blaze makes your ADC vulnerable; avoid grouped positioning.
When (W) and (E) are up, respect his poke range and avoid extended trades.
Level 6 (R) bounce can punish clustered fights; keep your ADC spaced and ready to disengage.

Early game

Contest level 2 only if your ADC can match Brand's poke and stun combo safely.
Hold brush control to block (W) poke and prevent him from setting up empowered (Q).
Coordinate wave crash with your ADC before roaming to avoid exposing them to Brand's poke.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q) stun threat; use it to set up kills with ADC follow-up.
First tank item increases your durability, allowing you to absorb more poke and protect your ADC.
Level 6 (R) enables decisive devours to isolate Brand or save your ADC from his burst damage.

Win conditions

Use (R) to peel or pick Brand, creating space for your ADC to output damage safely.
Deny Brand brush control to limit his poke angles and force him to overextend.
Establish river vision and coordinate with your ADC for dragon setup and safe skirmishes.

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