the Burning Vengeance
Brand be a spell-focused champion who plays 'round range, cooldowns and controlled areas. This overview keeps th' explanation practical and leaves patch-sensitive numbers to Riot's structured data and th' present in-battle tooltip.
Arrr, usual roleSupportArrr, strengths and limits
These be kit-level patterns, nay a promise that every course or matchup plays th' same way.
Ye can deter enemies from standing nigh their minions by setting them ablaze, due to Conflagration.
Ye can use Brand's tricks in a variety o' combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.
Pyroclasm bounces randomly betwixt enemies, so try to cast it on a small group o' enemies if ye want to hit th' same target multiple times.
Brand must land an trick afore his combo be able to get started. Dodging his Sear or Pillar o' Flame will disrupt his rhythm.
Try to move astern from crewmates when ye see Pyroclasm being cast. Th' initial missile speed be slow, which should give yer crew time to react.
Brand's passive allows him to excel agin' teams that cluster together. Be sure to split up agin' him.
Arrr, practical champion reading
Use these patterns to ask better questions afore choosing an gear, target or commitment. They describe th' kit, nay a promised result.
Magic resistance can reduce th' broad spell profile, but positioning and cooldown tracking still decide whether th' fit fer th' captain's eye tricks connect.
Track th' key setup and highest-impact cooldown. A missed or blocked opening can create a safer window afore th' full rotation returns.
Ranged attacks be useful only while a seaworthy line to th' target remains. Flanks, hard control and blocked escape routes can remove that advantage quickly.
Protection, setup and ship's intelligence can matter more booty than personal damage. Position so th' next aboard useful spell can reach th' ally or target that needs it.
Tenacity can shorten only eligible control. Displacements, airborne effects and repeated slows need their own positioning, blocking or movement captain's answer.
Reserve anti-heal and anti-shielding fer a visible problem in th' full crew composition; they be nay default answers to every champion.
A spell being available does nay mean th' shipshape sequence be sustainable. Watch th' resource bar as well as th' setup and escape cooldowns.
Defensive gear reference
Set sail wit' th' threat that be actually affecting th' clash. These be conditional comparisons, nay an automatic counter loadout.
Magic resistance addresses th' broad damage profile, while Tenacity can shorten reducible control.
Pick Plated Steelcaps instead only when physical basic attacks from this champion or th' rest o' th' crew be th' larger repeated threat.Normal Draft and Ranked role sea chart
Each course be assessed separately. Unfurl a role to reach its queue-specific loadout and matchup preparation.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. Brand be normally played Support and does nay currently have a reviewed Top course. Top most often needs independent laning, durable trading or reliable side-course pressure. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. Brand Jungle be a reviewed secondary role. His passive helps clear th' deck camps and pressure prizes, while his ranged crowd control supports ganks. It be less common aboard than Support, so inspect that th' crew still has reliable front line and early sea chart control.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. Brand has a secondary station in this historical log, matey. It be less common than the main stations, but has a recognisable plan for that station.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. Brand Bot be a sailor-chosen AP carry strategy. His burn and crowd control can pressure a duo course, but th' crew may need sustained physical damage from another role.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. Brand has an established low-income Support course wit' useful course pressure, protection, engage or crew utility.
Arrr, Situational AP purchase
Arrr, Buy healing reduction when enemy healing or regeneration is deciding fights and you can keep damaging the relevant target. Grievous Wounds reduces healing; it does not reduce shields, magic damage or crowd control.
Arrr, Oblivion Orb can provide healing reduction without immediately paying for a completed Morellonomicon. Fit the component around your core damage, mana and survival needs; check the current queue's item tooltip.
Arrr, Complete Morellonomicon when its stats and slot efficiency suit your build. Do not treat it as a mandatory first item just because your champion deals magic damage.
Arrr, Multiple Grievous Wounds sources do not add their percentages together. Another reliable applier may cover the same target, but you may still need your own source for a separate fight or target.
Arrr, Repeated spell damage and damage over time can maintain coverage more reliably than a single hit. Match the purchase to your actual spell access, enemy sustain and the teammates who can apply the debuff.
Arrr, If you die before dealing damage, you apply no healing reduction. If your target dies before healing, there is little healing to prevent. The debuff applies on qualifying damage immediately; it does not need to build up. It remains briefly after your last hit, so teammates can benefit even after you disengage.
Arrr, Only healing during the active debuff counts. For example, 40% reduction prevents 80 of a 200-point heal, or 400 of a 1,000-point heal, before other modifiers. Compare that with the damage, penetration or survival you delayed; neither example guarantees a kill. Healing after the debuff expires is unaffected.
Arrr, See the Arrr, oblivion Orb and Arrr, Morellonomicon Arrr, references for current effects and queue availability. These are situational decisions, not a measured best-build claim.
Arrr, kit reference
Trick names, descriptions and numeric fields come from Riot Data Dragon. Practical reads be independently written; th' present in-battle tooltip remains authoritative.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishBrand's spells light his targets ablaze, dealing damage over 4 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. If Brand kills an enemy while it is ablaze he regains mana. When Blaze reaches max stacks on a Champion or large monster, it becomes unstable. It detonates in 2 seconds, applying spell effects and dealing massive damage in an area around the victim.
Arrr, practical readBlaze be an automatic part o' th' kit involving damage. Track when its condition be active instead o' treating every fight th' same way.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishBrand launches a ball of fire forward that deals magic damage. If the target is ablaze, Sear will stun the target.
Arrr, practical readSear contributes hard crowd control and damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishAfter a short delay, Brand creates a Pillar of Flame at a target area, dealing magic damage to enemy units within the area. Units that are ablaze take an additional 25% damage.
Arrr, practical readPillar o' Flame contributes damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishBrand conjures a powerful blast at his target that spreads to nearby enemies, dealing magic damage. If the target is ablaze, Conflagration's spread is doubled.
Arrr, practical readConflagration contributes damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishBrand unleashes a devastating torrent of fire that bounces up to 5 times off of Brand and nearby enemies, dealing magic damage to enemies each time bounce. Bounces prioritize stacking Blaze to max on Champions. If a target is ablaze, Pyroclasm will briefly slow them.
Arrr, practical readPyroclasm contributes a slowing effect and damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Arrr, levels 1–18
Base values exclude gear, runes, temporary buffs and mode-specific modifiers. Cooldowns be th' listed base cooldown afore trick haste.
