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.

Use Shroud of Darkness in tandem with Paranoia's dash. Your opponents may panic and waste a critical disable on your spell shield.
Using Paranoia at a critical moment is well worth it even if you cannot use the dash.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Nocturne.
Moreover, when Brand plays with Nocturne on the same side, he typically takes much less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Nocturne does a decent job of covering Brand in team fights.
