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 Aurelion Sol

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Keep your breath on one champion

    Keep Breath of Light (Q) on the same champion: each second triggers a burst of bonus damage and gives you Stardust.

  2. Farm your Stardust

    Farm with Singularity (E): every enemy that dies inside, minions included, gives you Stardust, which permanently strengthens all your abilities.

  3. Fly to escape or chase

    Cast Astral Flight (W) to escape a gank or to chase: during the flight, Breath of Light (Q) has no cooldown and no channel limit.

  4. Hit several champions with your R

    Cast Falling Star (R) on several enemies: it stuns them, and each champion hit gives you Stardust to upgrade your next cast into The Skies Descend (R).

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.
