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 Milio

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his fireball

    Dodge Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q): it knocks you back, then explodes behind you and slows you.

  2. Back off when the campfire's up

    Back off when Cozy Campfire (W) follows his carry: they gain attack range and restore health over time.

  3. Save a CC for after his R

    If your team has several CC spells, save one for after Breath of Life (R): it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from his nearby allies.

  4. Go for Milio first

    If you can reach him, go for Milio first, especially away from his allies: he has no dash or leap, and without him, his carry loses shields, heals and range.
