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 Sivir

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hit going out and coming back

    Position so Boomerang Blade (Q) hits on the way out and on the way back: it damages every enemy it passes through, but less after hitting a minion.

  2. Ricochet right after an auto

    Cast Ricochet (W) right after an auto: it resets your auto immediately, and the next ones bounce to nearby enemies.

  3. Save your shield for their CC

    Save Spell Shield (E) for the stun or root aimed at you: it blocks the next enemy ability, and heals and speeds you up if it blocks.

  4. On The Hunt to engage or escape

    Cast On The Hunt (R) to engage or escape as a group: nearby allies gain move speed, and your autos on champions reduce your cooldowns.

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.
