How to play against Brand

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Dodge sideways after he walks up for Q or E, especially during ganks. His early kill threat drops sharply when the first crowd control spell misses.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Clear vision from wider paths instead of stacking in choke points. Brand punishes grouped objective setups more than scattered skirmishes.
5. 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.
