Playing as Brand

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Three spells for the explosion

    Hit the same target with three spells: at 3 stacks, Blaze (passive) becomes unstable and detonates 2 seconds later, dealing heavy damage around it.

  2. Set them ablaze before the stun

    Start with Conflagration (E), then Sear (Q) to stun the target while they're ablaze, and finish with Pillar of Flame (W), which deals 25% more damage to them.

  3. Spread the fire from minions

    Cast Conflagration (E) on a minion that's ablaze near your opponent: when the target is ablaze, the spread range doubles and reaches them.

  4. Save your R for a group

    Cast Pyroclasm (R) when several enemies are close: the torrent bounces up to 5 times, first to champions that are ablaze but not yet at 3 stacks.

Playing against Azir

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from his soldiers

    Stay out of range of his soldiers, not just of him: each Arise! (W) soldier attacks nearby enemies in his place.

  2. Play hard before he hits 6

    Play hard before he hits level 6: without Emperor's Divide (R), he can't knock you back, and Shifting Sands (E), his only dash, has a 22 to 16 second cooldown.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Emperor's Divide (R), spread out from your allies: the soldier wall knocks back every enemy across its width, then blocks the way.
