You can use Brand's abilities in a variety of combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.

Overall, Vi sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Brand. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Brand helps Vi perform poorer in competitive LoL matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Vi is an ally to Brand, she gets a small increase in her complete damage dealt. This difference may demonstrate that Brand helps provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Vi is played together with Brand on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Brand. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Brand.
Additionally, when Vi plays with Brand on the same side, she usually takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Brand does a poor job of covering Vi in team fights.
