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 Jinx

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: with the minigun from Switcheroo! (Q), each auto increases her attack speed, so long trades favor her.

  2. Punish her lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for her when her support walks away: with no dash or leap, Jinx can only back off on foot.

  3. Walk around her traps

    Don't step on Flame Chompers! (E): they root the champion who touches them. Walk around them or wait for them to vanish after 5 seconds.

  4. Deny her the first kill

    If you can reach her, focus her first: any takedown gives her a big speed boost with Get Excited! (passive).
