This champion performs very well against Brand thanks to his great gap closing ability and high burst damage. Avoid getting hit by his chains and focus on maintaining good spacing. Use your W+E or Q+E on the wave to poke and keep him at a distance. Once you complete Rylai’s, the matchup swings significantly in your favor.
Yasuo
Extremely boring matchup for you. His passive makes it hard for Brand to do what he does best as it practically negates the W+E or Q+E combo on the wave. Try to bait his passive out with a basic attack before you cast any spells, hold onto at least two of your spells with one always being your Q so you can stun him if he tries to engage. Once you've completed Rylai's the matchup becomes much easier and you are actually able to compete.
Twisted Fate
He can't win against you, you always win no matter what. Period.
Syndra
She outranges Brand and can bully you before you have Rylai’s if you struggle to dodge her spells. Once you complete Rylai’s, however, one mistake on her part can quickly cost her her life.
Annie
Watch out for her 4 stacks Flash+R as she will stun you and one shot you. Otherwise you heavily outrange her and she can't do anything.
Xerath
Like Syndra, this champion can be a nuisance due to high burst damage and range advantage. He struggles with mana early, so poking him won’t be difficult. Once he builds mana items, he becomes stronger than you. After you complete Rylai’s, if he misses his E (stun), you can punish him and easily secure a kill.
Zed
He can be tough to play against due to his W+Q spam, but if you avoid it or stay behind minions, the matchup is manageable. Be especially cautious after level 6, as he can easily kill you. Save your E+Q or R+Q for when he uses his ultimate, do not use your R beforehand, as it will disappear along with him.
Fizz
If you struggle with spacing or aren’t familiar with Fizz’s kit, this matchup can be very difficult. Watch out for his E and W dash, and maintain your distance. Do not use your Q or R before he uses his W, as it will simply miss.
Diana
Her ultimate can be a great setup for you if she catches multiple enemies, practically guaranteeing a won fight.
Nami
Nami’s E works exceptionally well with Brand in the APC role. Using your W+E or Q+E combos on the wave allows you to reliably bully most ADCs with poke.
Blitzcrank
Brand’s poke on APC helps create space for Blitz. Once Blitz lands a hook on the ADC, it’s usually a guaranteed full combo for you, often resulting in a free kill.
