Guide to Countering Brand as Irelia

Tips for Playing as Irelia against Brand

Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.

Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.

Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.

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.
