Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.0% popularity, Brand constantly encounters meta-dominant Lux (6.4%, 8th place out of 51 Support champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Brand performance in the current patch. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching C-tier ratings, Brand struggles with only 45.7% win rate. Lux's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Arcane Comet + Manaflow Band combination (51.5% win rate) plus optimal itemization Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment, Malignance, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 45.7% to 80.5% - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Brand's superior warding (0.97 wards/min, 6th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Brand outputs more damage (746 vs 578/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Lux: leads in both matchup win rate (54.3%) and KDA (2.40 vs 1.80, 30th vs 51st place). Brand players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Lux as Brand (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Brand deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Lux deals primarily magic damage (88.34%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Brand is superior vision control (ranked 6th among supports) (versus 40th for Lux), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 1.8) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Brand Support versus Lux Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Brand player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Lux player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Brand tips:

  • You can deter enemies from standing near their minions by setting them ablaze, due to Conflagration.
  • You can use Brand's abilities in a variety of combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.
  • Pyroclasm bounces randomly between enemies, so try to cast it on a small group of enemies if you want to hit the same target multiple times.

Playing Against Lux

  • Lux has powerful zone control abilities. Try to spread out and attack from different directions so she cannot lock down a specific area.
  • When retreating with low health, be prepared to dodge Lux's Final Spark, a red targeting beam fires prior to the main beam, so try to move to the side if possible.
