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 Ryze

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Flux, then Overload

    Cast Spell Flux (E) on your target or a nearby minion, then Overload (Q): the Flux spreads to nearby enemies, and the bolt bounces from one to the next.

  2. Root a target with Flux

    Cast Rune Prison (W) on a target marked by Spell Flux (E): they're rooted instead of slowed.

  3. Alternate your spells

    Alternate your spells in teamfights: Rune Prison (W) and Spell Flux (E) reset the cooldown of Overload (Q).

  4. Open a portal for your team

    Cast Realm Warp (R) to rotate to an objective or a flank: after a few seconds, all allies near you are teleported.

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.
