Vi vs Brand Matchup Summary

The Vi vs Brand matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 35 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 54.3% win rate compared to Brand's 45.7%, giving Vi a 8.6 percentage point advantage. Vi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Brand players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Vi leads by 646 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi players can confidently pick into Brand and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Brand away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
1.2Vi
1.2Brand
Vi and Brand farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.0 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
580Vi
847Brand
Brand heavily out-damages Vi by 267 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Vi should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Brand's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,080Vi
11,649Brand

Utility
0.9Vi
1.1Brand
Both Vi and Brand provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.2s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
1,387Vi
741Brand
Vi vastly out-sustains Brand, healing and mitigating 646 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Brand is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Brand, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

The top-performing core items for Vi against Brand are Sundered Sky, Trinity Force and Black Cleaver.

Vi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 58.8% win rate — a 17.6 percentage point lead over Brand. This lopsided early game means Vi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Vi holds the advantage at every stage of the game, making this a consistently favorable matchup from lane through late game team fights. Brand players should look for outplays, team-dependent strategies, and picks rather than relying on scaling to win this matchup.
