Guide to Synergizing Brand and Annie

Tips for Playing as Brand with Annie

You can use Brand's abilities in a variety of combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.

You can deter enemies from standing near their minions by setting them ablaze, due to Conflagration.

Pyroclasm bounces randomly between enemies, so try to cast it on a small group of enemies if you want to hit the same target multiple times.

Advice to Understand How Annie Will Play

Molten Shield is a good spell to cast to work up to Annie's stun, so sometimes it's beneficial to grab at least 1 rank in it early.

Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.

Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.

Is Brand better when played alongside Annie?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Brand that will no matter what be his top ally. Yet, Annie is a below average teammate for Brand. By playing on the same team as Brand, she lowers their win rate by -2.8% to 48.6%. This shows that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Brand and Annie that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Annie has a greater difficulty than Brand. That means you need to be careful when enlisting Annie comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Brand players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by grouping Brand and Annie together, you will not be giving your other allies a lot of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to have other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Annie teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
