Pyroclasm bounces randomly among enemies so make sure there are only a few targets if you want to focus down 1 enemy.

Brand FAQs

Q: When should I use Brand's Ultimate?

A: Brand's ultimate bounces between targets. If used alone, it won't prioritize enemy champions. However, if the targets are already set ablaze, Brand's Ult will prioritize nearby champions. If there are minions nearby, you need to set your targets ablaze before using it or most of the damage will be wasted. The best time to use it is when you are only facing enemy champions and they are close together.

Q: What items can I add to my Brand build in LoL that will make him more useful to the team?

A: Brand does a lot of damage over time. Adding Rylai's Crystal Scepter to your Brand build will make him a lot more helpful by slowing down multiple enemies in each teamfight.

Q: What is Brand's greatest strength?

A: Brand's greatest strength is his massive damage output. He deals both damage over time and area of effect damage. In teamfights, he is absolutely devastating. Furthermore, by combining his passive DoT with DoT items, he can deal a massive amount of damage through poking.

Q: What is Brand's biggest weakness?

A: Brand has a stun that is excellent at stopping closers from engaging with him directly. However, it is a skillshot that can be dodged or intercepted by minions. Against very agile champions, he has a hard time of not getting closed on and killed quickly.

Additional Brand Build Insights

LoL Brand players will find him to be a complex champ to build out properly. You will see that his build changes when he is up against either well-rounded or homogenous team comps, demonstrating you should not select the same Brand build every single game of League of Legends

The best items to use in your champion's build are: Liandry's Anguish, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Shard of True Ice. Players who included these items in their kits had a significantly better win rate than those who worked towards other builds for Brand. Likewise, if you are battling a varied enemy team comp, you should strongly consider getting yourself the Domination, and Precision runes. In recent matches, he won the largest number of his matches when built with these runes.

We established our Brand build guidance by examining 64,953 recently ranked League rounds with him selected. We only recommend the best winrate Brand builds that have been built by ranked gamers enough times for us to suggest them. With so many matches in our dataset, we are confident in our recommended builds.
