Is Brand better when played alongside Taliyah?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Brand that will 100% of the time be his top teammate. However, Taliyah is a relatively poor companion for Brand. By being on the same side as Brand, she decreases their win rate by -2.4% to 49.0%. This signals that there is a bad strategic relationship between Brand and Taliyah that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Taliyah has a greater difficulty than Brand. That means Brand players should be careful when lining up Taliyah teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Conversely, by pairing Brand and Taliyah together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of sustained damage output. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Taliyah ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
