Brand Mid Lane Matchups

Brand lore:

Once a tribesman of the icy Freljord named Kegan Rodhe, the creature known as Brand is a lesson in the temptation of greater power. Seeking one of the legendary World Runes, Kegan betrayed his companions and seized it for himself—and, in an instant, the man was no more. His soul burned away, his body a vessel of living flame, Brand now roams Valoran in search of other Runes, swearing revenge for wrongs he could never possibly have suffered in a dozen mortal lifetimes.

Brand tips:

  • You can deter enemies from standing near their minions by setting them ablaze, due to Conflagration.
  • You can use Brand's abilities in a variety of combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.
  • Pyroclasm bounces randomly between enemies, so try to cast it on a small group of enemies if you want to hit the same target multiple times.

Playing Against Brand

  • Brand must land an ability before his combo is able to get started. Dodging his Sear or Pillar of Flame will disrupt his rhythm.
  • Try to move away from allies when you see Pyroclasm being cast. The initial missile speed is slow, which should give your team time to react.
  • Brand's passive allows him to excel against teams that cluster together. Be sure to split up against him.

Brand abilities description:

Blaze
P
Blaze (passive)
Brand's spells light his targets ablaze, dealing damage over 4 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. If Brand kills an enemy while it is ablaze he regains mana. When Blaze reaches max stacks on a Champion or large monster, it becomes unstable. It detonates in 2 seconds, applying spell effects and dealing massive damage in an area around the victim.
Sear
Q
Sear (Q)
Brand launches a ball of fire forward that deals magic damage. If the target is ablaze, Sear will stun the target for @StunDuration@ seconds.
Pillar of Flame
W
Pillar of Flame (W)
After a short delay, Brand creates a Pillar of Flame at a target area, dealing magic damage to enemy units within the area. Units that are ablaze take an additional 25% damage.
Conflagration
E
Conflagration (E)
Brand conjures a powerful blast at his target that spreads to nearby enemies, dealing magic damage. If the target is ablaze, Conflagration's spread is doubled.
Pyroclasm
R
Pyroclasm (R)
Brand unleashes a devastating torrent of fire that bounces up to 5 times off of Brand and nearby enemies, dealing magic damage to enemies each time bounce. Bounces prioritize stacking Blaze to max on Champions. If a target is ablaze, Pyroclasm will briefly slow them.
