Guide to Countering Brand as Aatrox

Tips for Playing as Aatrox against Brand

Cast World Ender when you are sure you can force a fight.

Use Umbral Dash while casting The Darkin Blade to increase your chances of hitting the enemy.

Crowd Control abilities like Infernal Chains or your allies' immobilizing effects will help you set up The Darkin Blade.

Advice to Win Against Brand

Brand's passive allows him to excel against teams that cluster together. Be sure to split up against him.

Brand must land an ability before his combo is able to get started. Dodging his Sear or Pillar of Flame will disrupt his rhythm.

Try to move away from allies when you see Pyroclasm being cast. The initial missile speed is slow, which should give your team time to react.
