His early kill threat drops sharply when the first crowd control spell misses. - Hold important spells until he moves up to last-hit. Throwing at him while he is free to sidestep gives him the mana and wave control he wants. - Spread before entering river fights so his passive and ult cannot bounce through your team. Engage after he uses W or E on the wave. - Clear vision from wider paths instead of stacking in choke points. Brand punishes grouped objective setups more than scattered skirmishes. - Force him to cast into your front line before your carries step forward. Re-engage once his ult has bounced or expired. ## Where Brand is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Brand is immobile and fragile, so direct engage can kill him before his burn spreads through a fight. - His damage rewards clustered enemies, making spread formations sharply reduce passive explosions and ultimate bounces. ## Brand counters: questions ### Who counters Brand in Support?
