•Burn something first so E has an anchor—on Brand support, a minion clipped by W, a melee support in the wave, or the first tagged champion should start the trade, and Q is usually the receipt after the spread begins
•The first diver or support through the door is often the right wick: Brand is happy to start on that body if it lets passive spread and R bounces keep traveling through the rest of the fight
•Play lane around brush-side, last-hit timing chip so the next skirmish starts with enemies already singed and clumped; recent data matches that feel, with Brand’s wins looking best while fights stay crowded and losing bite once games stretch into cleaner late spacing
