Strength by game phase

Brand's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Blaze (P)

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.

Playing as Anivia

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Detonate your ice on the target

    Recast Flash Frost (Q) when the orb reaches your target: it explodes at once and stuns, without waiting for the end of its range.

  2. Frostbite a chilled target

    Cast Frostbite (E) right after Flash Frost (Q), or inside a fully formed Glacial Storm (R): against a chilled target, its damage doubles.

  3. Cut off the escape with your wall

    Place Crystallize (W) behind a fleeing enemy: the ice wall blocks the path before it melts.

  4. Play aggressively while your egg is up

    Play more aggressively when Rebirth (passive) is available: instead of dying, you turn into an egg, and if it isn't destroyed, you come back at full health.

Playing against Brand

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his Q while you burn

    When you're ablaze, prioritize dodging Sear (Q): it stuns any target that's ablaze.

  2. Leave his pillar of flame

    Leave the Pillar of Flame (W) area as soon as it appears: it lands after a short delay and hits harder if you're ablaze.

  3. Punish his lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go in on him: his kit has no dash and no shield.

  4. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies in teamfights: Pyroclasm (R) bounces between nearby enemies, and Blaze (passive) explodes around a target at 3 stacks.
