Tips Against Brand as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
zSharpFire says “R-Q is the name of the game. He has no sustain and you have really big poke. R-Q gives you a range advantage so you can pump big damage with really low risk. When you try to W him be very mindful of his Q and try to dodge it with the E bonus ms (if the adc doesn't need the shield)”
0
JVS8 says “Very annoying in lane, but just try your best not to die as you out roam and outscale him.”
0
Mr_kodeo says “Max Hp damage is not fun, and abilities are too diffficult to avoid. ”
0
Arctic Arrow says “You can engage him aggressively, due to his lack of mobility and he’ll likely go down quickly. Just be cautious of his crowd control and try to bait out his abilities before you commit to an all-in.
Once you have a few points in your E (Crimson Curse), you can easily out-sustain his poke and pressure him effectively.”
0
BigodeOfLegends says “His ability to poke with long-range abilities and deal area damage can pressure Senna, but he is equally fragile.”
0
Zazomy says “Brand Support isn't that much of a threat compared to when he is as an ADC, he has a lot of poke abilities that can deny your ADC”
0
sfxshinygod says “Annoying but immobile. Avoid getting chunked by baiting skills and playing in the bush and surprising them by all ins. Very squishy so you should win.”

xpwnz1337 says “Alistar = tank. Brand = anti tank (overbuffed items damage trash).
Counterplay: Mercury's Treads rush. Do not get hit by minion burn E. W+Q into sidestep his Q so you wont get stunned.
After 6 don't group with ADC in his R.
Beware of interaction: W+Q into his Q stun will just knock him back and wont knock up.”

LA COLORADA says “you won't get to him in lane if he's decent tbh. bring second wind and call out for your jungler.
lock him down during skirmishes and teamfights. don't take dumb fights in closed spaces as he excels there.
he'll prob get top damage anyway even if you leave him behind bc champ design lol.”

FiletedMinion says “I permaban Brand. He makes laning hell. W --> E means he WILL get you burning if you are anywhere near your own wave. It's just not worth dealing with. You can smash him easily. Still not worth it.”

Abarame says “One of the few mage supports that actually give you a hard time. His zone control and aoe dmg is very annoying and becomes scary if he gets a lead going. Be VERY careful when laning against Brand. He is relentless with his trades and will kill you if he activates his 3 hit passive.”

Kcmichalson says “[SUP] Brand wants to stack his passive on you by landing multiple abilities in succession. Don't let him hit chains of abilities on you or he'll melt your health.
Keep space between yourself and your carry. If you've been hit by one ability already, his Q will stun you, likely leading to a very painful exchange.”

Fenreee says “It's a skill matchup but Brand favored due to wave clear. You win in raw damage since you should dodge all his skills with ease because you're Vayne. His E will splash from the wave and poke you so Fleet - Second Wind and get an early refillable potion aswell if necessary.”

Shadowcrushers says “Brand, the Burning Vengeance, is indeed an even match against Soraka, the Starchild, due to several key factors.
Damage Output: Brand possesses exceptional burst damage, making him a formidable threat to Soraka. His passive ability, Blaze, allows his abilities to deal additional damage over time, while his main damaging ability, Pillar of Flame, can deal significant area-of-effect damage to multiple targets. Combined with his other abilities, such as Sear and Conflagration, Brand can quickly wear down Soraka's health pool and potentially burst her down before she has a chance to react.
Crowd Control: Brand's kit also includes potent crowd control abilities, which can greatly hinder Soraka's ability to support her allies. His ability, Sear, can stun a target if it hits an enemy already ablaze, providing a valuable opportunity to disable Soraka and prevent her from healing or providing utility to her teammates. Additionally, his ultimate ability, Pyroclasm, can bounce between enemy champions, potentially catching Soraka and her allies in its path, disrupting their positioning and causing chaos in team fights.
Range and Positioning: Brand has the advantage of longer range compared to Soraka. His abilities allow him to poke and harass Soraka from a safe distance, making it difficult for her to retaliate effectively. By positioning himself strategically, Brand can zone Soraka away from her teammates and force her to either back off or put herself in a vulnerable position to be attacked.
Itemization: Brand has the flexibility to build items that can directly counter Soraka's healing and sustain capabilities. Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivion Orb, which provide Grievous Wounds, can reduce the effectiveness of Soraka's heals, making it harder for her to keep her teammates alive. Building magic penetration items like Liandry's Anguish or Void Staff can also increase Brand's damage output, allowing him to cut through Soraka's defenses more effectively.
Target Priority: In team fights, Brand can prioritize Soraka as a high-value target. Taking down Soraka early in a fight can significantly impact the enemy team's ability to sustain and survive. Since Soraka is a squishy support champion with limited defensive capabilities, Brand's burst damage and crowd control can quickly eliminate her from the equation, leaving her team vulnerable and lacking crucial heals.
Playstyle and Mind Games: Lastly, an important aspect of any even matchup lies in the players themselves. A skilled Brand player can employ various strategies and mind games to outplay a Soraka player. This includes baiting out Soraka's abilities, dodging her skillshots, and capitalizing on her positioning mistakes. Similarly, a knowledgeable Soraka player can anticipate Brand's burst and attempt to position herself in a way that minimizes his impact or use her abilities defensively to sustain her teammates through his damage.
Overall, while Soraka possesses healing and utility that can be challenging to deal with, Brand's high damage output, crowd control, range advantage, itemization options, and target prioritization make him a formidable opponent who can go toe-to-toe with Soraka. Success in this matchup ultimately relies on the skill and decision-making of the players involved.”

FromValhalla says “Ap supports can counter you because they delete your spellshield with one spell. Opt to go an extra point or two with shield if needed”
0
Samikin says “Minor-Threat.
Make sure that Brand isn't able to proc his 3-ability passive on you and you'll be great! He does have more range than you, but his W + Q's are hard to land from farther away. After 6, you have more range than him and Brand won't have time to react to your R's.
Recommendation:
Aery (+ Relentless Hunter) /Electrocute (+ Manaflow / Scorch) rune is fine here
Standard Luden's One-Shot build”

Lunar Empress says “All Mages kinda counter Janna in her poke game, but keep playing it safe and going for safe trades until you can outheal/shield their damage later on. Go Glacial here because he's immobile and a decent gank will get him killed.”

mazewalk says “"Just dodge skillshots lol"
You can bait his W by walking on the edge of it's range. If he wants to hit you, he can, by flaming minions and using E on them. Play around cds and punish him for whiffing.
Buy Mikael's Blessing if your teammates always get stunned by his Q; Redemption if he pokes you really hard.”
0
Bolybuff says “Overall high AOE and DOT damage that you will struggle to compete in. If he whiffs his Q, then it might be your saving grace to go aggresive. Theres not alot that you can do and you can try your best to save your teamate with your ult.”

Aerenax says “Brand deals a lot of damage. Because of his range and possibility to stun a difficult matchup. On the other hand, getting on top op him likely results in a kill.”
0
Wounds2 says “If he can hit his abilities, it is annoying to deal with his poke in lane. He has cc to disrupt you from flinging and usually builds things like Rylai's and Morello, which can be annoying in late game. His burn + Morello makes the healing from your ult pretty useless. However, he can be punished in lane when his abilities (specifically Q) are on cooldown.”
0
Cyclic says “He is strong and does a lot of damage early but you will easily outscale and can bait out his ability cooldowns pretty easily. Once you get around 60 souls this matchup becomes very easy and you can poke for free essentially if you know movement”
0
ZharMeny says “Rule of thumb: If you see Brand or other Poke heaby Support try to not get poked too much level 1 so you can engage level 2. Recommended Stance: Mounted”
0
Bughans says “He has no direct cc, so he can't prevent your combo, however it can be dangerous to get close to him due to his R and his ability to stun you AFTER you engage. Make sure he dies if you engage on him.”
0
Zoose says “Rarely seen mid. Try to push hard. If he uses his spells to clear waves, go for poke. Watch out for his entire combo at lvl 6, he has enough damage to 1 shot you. Staying behind minions means he cant hit his Q Stun, but staying to close means he can get his W and E splash damage, as well as Ult bounces.”

0
Toches says “He can be a major headache like velkoz, you'll have waves against your tower repeatedly with little counterplay, but if he whiffs anything or gets too close you'll pretty reliably kill him, your ult should make his fizzle in mid-late game, but laning against him can be hell.”

mellorwastaken says “outscales you really hard so you kinda have to get a lead, he is immobile so you should be able to hook him and kill him, look to punish his cooldowns, especially his Q, once he uses it, you can walk up in his face with W and Q-E backwards.”
0
iveye says “Brand is an annoying match up with his poke, but you can go Second Wind to heal it over. He is very immobile and his main threat is his Q stun, if that is wasted he is a decent mat-up but his mid-late damage is not to be forgotten. Bard can be down 0-4-0 but if he has his mythic the percent max health damage will hurt no matter what. ”

GG Cannon says “Really annoying to deal with. His passive doesn't really allow you to go invisible in your smoke and a good Brand can stun you very fast if you try to engage in combat, so it becomes extremely important that you wait at least until he uses his Q and always check if he has an hourglass up before engaging in an all in.”

Fenreee says “|||SUPPORT||| Brand is technically in the major category, but i wanna add that Brand is usually played by autofills, and as such you can usually beat him by just out-performing in other basic support areas, like rotating to your jungler in river and keeping good vision control. If you have a long range ADC such as Ashe or Caitlyn, or a safe ADC such as Sivir or Ezreal, roaming is safe, but with a lot of immobile ADC's it's not recommended as Brand does have good towerdives. To actually play against Brand, i recommend putting points in your W, but not using it too often as you just want to hold onto the movespeed to dodge Brands skills reliably. You can start using it more often once you have full Lucidity boots. If he's paired with a defensive ADC or if he's just positioned poorly, you can usually punish him by flinging a Glacial Q tap at him and have your ADC throw poke. Your R can often save people from Brand's R since people don't really buy grievous wounds against Janna.”

Ekko Rush B Guides says “Brand's only ability that will guarantee a full spell rotation is his Q. Dodge that and he won't have any way to defend himself. And even if he somehow hits you with every ability, you can easily negate his passive with your ult. If he uses W+E to push the minion wave you should instantly jump on him, because then has no way of stunning you besides wasting his ultimate.”
0
PR0M3T3O says “WHY TF he still exists, its a really annoying match, hell of a lane.
First of all, poke him is not an option, his ability set will help him to 1v1 you on early game easily
Poke the ADC instead of Brand, this champ doesnt works by play under tower better than poking aggresively, and to do this you have to take down enemy ADC health
Get mercury o Wits End fast, remember, one or the other, try not focusing on getting both.
While facing a brand u have to move constantly and try to be not predictable, to avoid his abilitys. Before lvl 6 try to get closer to him, making him harder to land an ability. After level 6 try to stay away from him to avoid his R bouncing constantly”

zotet says “Brand has great AOE damage and can shutdown pushes with his E and R. He has no CC which makes him weak as well as his low mobility and range. He thrives when ahead so keep him behind by playing against his short ranged attacks. Make sure to dodge his attacks as they are quite easy to avoid.”

Aria_Legend says “Level 1-5: You want to start corrupting pot against him because his E poke (Conflagration) is pretty much impossible to dodge, it has very high range, extends to minions and reaches you. Play for farming.
From level 6+: You can look to assassinate him, he's immobile, easy to kill.
just take into account his damage numbers are very high, so you want to dodge his Q (Sear) and his W (Pillar of Flame) to avoid getting one-shotted by him. If you can dodge his 2 skillshots, you're good to go. ”

Atemporal says “Não deixe Brand cutucar você no nível 1, fique para trás e não o deixe acertar um W ou obter um E em você de graça, pelo menos faça ele trabalhar para isso. Você pode tentar negociar já no nível 2, se ele pegou W no nível 2, então você E para frente assim que ele usar W e então
rápido E Q automático e executado. Você quer trocar neste confronto basicamente sempre que ele não puder atordoá-lo, então se o Q dele estiver baixo, você vai, se o W e o dele estiverem baixos, você vai. Você também pode ir se ele desperdiçar apenas 1 habilidade. Por exemplo, se ele usa E ou W no
wave então apenas insta W e E Q auto run trade. W pode atordoar, mas não importa o que absorva parte de seu dano. Ele é hiper imóvel, então aterrissar W é muito realista. E longe do W dele se estiver prestes a acertar, nunca deixe ele te cutucar de graça.
A marca E foi alterada há pouco tempo para se espalhar para os inimigos ao redor do alvo principal, não importa o que aconteça, não subestime a propagação E. Ser atingido por apenas uma única habilidade aplicará a passiva de queimadura e o dividirá por um pouco de hp, e você deseja
cada ponto de saúde para permitir que você pule nele sempre que quiser. Seu waveclear é muito melhor que o dele, é difícil para Brand acertar a onda inteira com W, então procure por empurrões fortes se ele não parecer matável. Você supera ele super forte
e ele é fácil de pegar com Ws e combos rápidos mais tarde. Depois de pegar o Rocketbelt, não há muito que ele possa fazer quando você chegar nele. Use Rocketbelt para correr para ele/através dele para evitar seu atordoamento Q. Merc Threads são uma opção contra ele se
o resto de sua equipe também tem algum dano CC/Magic, mas lembre-se de que usar Merc Threads sempre significa que você sacrifica muito dano.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Brand will look to hug the bushes in the bottom lane and try to attack you when you move forward. When playing as an engage champion, target him as soon as he moves forward to poke. Don’t let Brand harass you for free. Try and stand back and out of range of him so he’s unable to attack and harass you with his Pillar of Flame(W). Ensure that you remain healthy otherwise you’ll never be able to fight him. A good time to fight Brand is when he’s out of mana or has an ability on cooldown. This will make trading much better for you as he will not be able to dish out a lot of damage (or possibly stun you if his Sear(Q) is on cooldown) as he’ll have 1 less ability to use.”

M4DN355 says “Brand melts people, but can also be one shot pretty easily. Laning phase will be difficult as he can easily widdle you and your ADC down, but after laning phase, he should be easier to kill as long as you dodge his Q. Since Pyke has a lot of invisibility off of his W and Duskblade, he should be able to stop Brand from using his E and R on him, although if Pyke has already been hit by one of Brand's abilities, the enemy can see Pyke even when he is invisible.”

neuroplasticity says “
An immobile glass cannon with crazy damage but very little utility. The main thing here is to tether around his W range (900) and bait it without getting hit.
Brand relies on landing a spell before he can look to stun you with his Q which can also be blocked by minions. Just back off if you got hit so he cannot trigger the stun or his passive for huge burst or a potential kill.
At level 6 you have to respect his burst, even if the Brand were to be 0/5. He doesn't even need to hit anything to almost oneshot you if he gets multiple ult bounces off of you. Spread from your teammates (and Brand since his ult can also bounce off of him) to avoid the damage.
Look for trades when his W is down or he used it on your carry. Also, one landed bubble usually spells death for him. Keep in mind that his E is point-click so you can't just run straight at the Brand just because his W is down.
Run Aery with Biscuit Delivery. This will help yourself sustain and allows you to play healbot for your carry if they turn out to be a skillshot magnet.
Taking MR in the rune shards also helps massively. Buildwise you can opt into Redemption to mitigate his ult damage if needed.

PicklePantsLOL says “Brand is a combo mage, which means that if he misses his main combo, or uses it inappropriately, he won't have any use until his next combo rotation. Your main goal will be to dodge his W and stay behind minions to avoid his Q.
Brand's immobility needs to be taken advantage of. Keep the wave near your tower and call upon your Jungler to gank him repeatedly. Bait out his W and E before the gank for maximal effectiveness.
In team-fights, ensure that you aren't clumped up as Brand's main goal will be to land a multi-man W and Ultimate R which will cause a lot of damage and will most definitely kill the squishier champions in your team. Picking him off before a team-fight will increase your chances of winning that fight exponentially.
Vision in the brushes is of paramount importance as he will try to damage you from within them with all his abilities. His E>Q, in particular, is the most dangerous as it will CC you and will allow his lane partner to possibly kill you.”

LegendaryOstrich says “Very squishy but has a TON of damage so try to go in on him early game pre-6 in order to capitalize on his squishyness. You can stand near minion waves in order to force him to push the wave but don't be close with your ADC that he is able to hit both of you.”

lin00 says “Brand is one of the Mage support who wants to poke you to a point where you can't hard engage on them. He will take over the lane if he is ahead. However, he is really squishy with no escape abilities. 1 good hook should burn his sums or kill him.”

Korippo says “Just really obnoxious and super scales by late game, plus his ultimate is very teamfight reliant and helps his team win a majority of the time since it passes around to all enemies within range. His Q stuns targets as well so keep that in mind, though it is a skill shot so it's usually not hard to dodge.”

0Banda says “ Brand is a skilled matchup, but as he is so broken right now you are likely to have problems. Try dodging his W with your E or W if your ADC is not close to you, furthermore, when Brand throws R to you or your ADC NEVER use E as it will bounce between you and your ADC
When you are facing a brand run Second Wind because of he's incredible poke, then just play as usual”

Luiscencias says “He has a LOT of damage output. If he’s ahead buy magic resist. Try not to get stunned and avoid grouping when he ults. If you max w and build renewer you can sort of heal through the damage but there is very much a point of no return if you eat shit early”

lenithebot says “Brand has great poke and his r makes it risky to all in since it can bounce from you to your adc or just him. He also offers a bit of hard CC. When you are also going for a minion because of your support item he can punish you with his damage. He does not have to push up since he will run spellthiefs so you can't punish him. If you engage when his cooldowns are down you should win just make sure to dodge his stun.”

Guoblide says “Brand is a horrible matchup for Braum due to his massive %Max Hp damage and his AOE spells. Brand is a AP poke mage that is great at dealing burst damage to high HP targets with his Blaze passive. He also has insanely strong teamfighting due to the AOE damage from his 3rd stack of Blaze, Pillar of Flame and Pyroclasm. Brand powerspikes a Level 2 where he gets access to his stun from Sear, 3 where he gets access to procing all 3 stacks of Blaze, and 6 where he gets his burst damage from Pyroclasm. He spikes especially hard against Braum when he completes both Liandry's Anguish and Demonic Embrace due to the %Max HP damage he gets from them. In lane, Braum try to dodge Pillar of Flame and poke a lot with Winter's Bite due to the ADC and Brand being squishy champions with no sustain. Only poke when you know you can land the damage though because Winter's Bite eats up a lot of mana. At Level 2 Braum can unlock Unbreakable. When Brand lands a Pillar of Flame onto an enemy he usually walks up and tries to lane a Sear to proc the stun. If Brand does land a Pillar of Flame on you or the ADC then preemptively walk to your ADC and block the Sear with Unbreakable when he throws it. Once Braum gets to Level 6 try to find a pick with Glacial Fissure if Brand or his ADC is mispositioned as they are both easy to kill and dont have a lot of defensive abilities. After Level 6 try to position away from your ADC and Stand Behind Me to them if they get engaged on. This is because standing too close to your ADC can make it easy for Brand to set up a Pyroclasm that can ricochet between you and your ADC for a ton of damage.”

RayTeamStrategy says “Even though he's very vulnerable to your silence, he has a greater number of engage options than you to compensate for that.

dragonmasterc says “Brand's Q and W outrange your E, and his E will outrange you if you're in a minion wave and he uses it on one. This still gives you proper windows to be able to poke him and his carry. Just bait his abilities by moving in and out of your minion wave and in bushes and find your window.
What makes this matchup even is the power of your shielding. Your E is very useful defensively - so long as you don't accidentally burn yourself in the process, you can stand close to your ADC to maximize your Aery shielding to mitigate Brand's burn damage.”

edkemr says “RUN CONFIDENT RUNES.
Brand has big burst damage and a not that easy stun to land. You outrange him with your Q, but your Ws has similar range, so try to stun him before with E or wait him to use his W before landing yours.
Still, if he fullcombos you, you're gonna say goodbye to half health, if not more. Play with your Q, bully him hard and zone him away from your ADC. Be careful of his R, but during teamfights you should never be in range of that. Be careful when you're casting your Q: he may just run into you and perform a full combo. If played correctly, it's an easy lane, but if he snowballs you have lost it.”

KeleiX13 says “This is one of the matchups where I would take Guardian and Relic Shield, ping my jungle, and give the lane since you won't be able to outdamage his burst and might even risk getting yourself or your ADC killed since he also outranges you. Brand has insane damage and his skillshots will be a little hard to dodge early on since you don't have a lot of movement speed. Thankfully, he is squishy, immobile, and very much gankable. To reduce the damage that he deals in fights, spread out so that his passive explosion and ult doesn't hit other allies.”

You don't outscale him.”

XD001 says “Dodge his pillar of flame as much as possible as it is his only substantial poke in lane. Same as Anivia, use your E to reposition and dodge his stun.

DavideLl98 says “Brand can cast his abilities all the time. It is recommended to purchase Relic Shield when you know you are measuring up to him. Attack the moment he misses with his combo. Do not get hit by three skills at all costs. Use your R more aggressively when you want to go at them with allies instead of defensively.”

itizhelia says “He can zone you out easily in the lane phase and if manages to pick you once then you lose whole lane priority in an instant.
Respect his damage and abilities!
But don't forget that if your ADC is decently strong early game then you can punish him for walking up too much and all in him with huge chances of killing him! Because he is squishy!
You win Brand hard in the mid-late game phase since he can't protect everyone from your engages. All he does is deal damage.”

Navn says “Relatively difficult to deal with since it will be hard to reach him. Bait his abilities until he runs out of mana, then you can make your move. If you must fight, then you must dodge his stun, and you'll stand a chance. Second Wind is very good here since all his skills are a DoT, and you'll get a lot of health back in lane.”
0
Xeptron says “Brand is the master of fire and master of ''I WILL ONE SHOT YOU AND YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS JUST TO DIE''. Yes, that's Brand. In other words, you have to be careful of his poke and abilities. Once his abilities go on a cooldown, you can hook and engage on the target. If you can, it is very advisible to dodge his abilities and engage whenever he is low on mana. He might do a lot of damage but if you are good at dodging his abilities, it will make Brand's life very hard.
What beats a poke? A HARD ENGAGE and that's what Thresh does. Do it once or twice and Brand's gone.”

CanadaJay says “Very pokey and absolute hell to play against due to his ult and Liandry's. However, he is squishy early game, so you can lock him down and kill him, unless he kills you first.”

Sunedayz says “With the recent Brand change this matchup got a lot harder. You can still avoid his Q, and W with your movement speed easily. His E now spreading can tick you down quite fast. Once he's used his spells go in and poke him down. As long as you don't die in lane you'll out scale him.”

DracoMeteor_ says “Brand is a very strong champion in general if played right. He is able to get Grievous early and it will affect your entire team. He not only does a lot of damage, he bursts your ADC really hard and pokes you out a lot. Yuumi is not good with burst damage.”

GMGZ2 says “All you got to do is use your Q to help dodge and make sure you put boxes in bushes so that he can't sneak attack and get free hits on you. When he uses R, separate from everyone and Q away from everyone or else you will die and might get your allies killed too. Other than that, use your clone to counter his R as well so that it dies and explodes, just make sure it gets near Brand or another enemy so your clone isn't just wasted and be careful when using your clone because you might accidentally get your allies killed by making your clone be an extra body equaling to more burst DMG. So, only use your clone when you know that your allies are away from Brand R. Even though I mentioned these counters, he is just too strong right now. ”

RECOMMENDED APPROACH: Passive Defense.”

GamingTy12 says “His R can just give anti heal to me and the ADC so if we trying to 2v2 we might lose it at 6 because of that, it makes my R pretty much useless for healing. That is really the only thing he is a threat about since his stun combo can be dodged easily with your move speed. ”

Guoblide says “Brand is a pretty difficult matchup for Sett especially during the laning phase. Sett can out-damage and out-sustain Brand but can't really get close to him at all. Brand can poke Sett in lane and land his skillshots easily because of Sett's big hitbox and low mobility pre- Boots of Swiftness and Dead Man's Plate. Brand can also check bushes without warding because of his Sear and Pillar of Flame. Even if you do remain unseen in a bush he can quickly stun you with his Conflagration and Sear combo. If he does ever stun you he can easily proc Blaze on you and deal massive damage. The worst thing about Brand though is that Blaze makes all of his spells deal 3% of his maximum health over time. If Brand hits Sett he procs Blaze which deals an additional 14-16% of Sett's maximum health. All of Brand's maximum health damage can destroy Sett's health bar and make the laning phase almost unplayable. During laning phase try to stand just out of range of his skill shots. If you see him miss a Sear immediately flash into him and Facebreaker. Once you engage on him and he doesn't have his stun up he is usually a free kill. Once you hit 6 pretend to roam and flank around behind his tower. Use Oracle Lens to disable wards that might spot you out. Flash + The Show Stopper either him or his ADC into your team to get a kill. You can also just roam and get picks in other lanes to help your team out. Go Mercury's Treads if the enemy team has at least 2 other AP champions in Top, Mid, or Jungle. When your jungler ganks and in lane try to spread out from your team to deny the Brand from getting a multi-person Pillar of Flame or Pyroclasm.”

Yuzu says “OKAY GUYS! Listen to me. Everyone says enchanter are good against Brand but why do I have the feeling of insta banning him when I plan to play Soraka? He is everything that Soraka is not. I once described it on the Soraka Main Sub Reddit and got some feedback, that others struggle es well. Maybe you can handle him better”

snukumz says “Careful not to get poked by Brand because he does a lot of damage, and if you get stunned you will likely be losing most of your HP or dying so watch out for his stun.
You outrange Brand with your plants so abused him with that and don't let him get within range to do his damage.”

Virtuos0 says “There's a champ in bot lane with longer poke than you, and his name is Brand. In the time you land your Q AA combo on the enemy adc, Brand already has his W Q stun on you, and now you're toast. An easy way to get around this is to plan with your lane partner to focus on Brand early. The less you allow him to poke, the more behind in gold he'll be. Later on in the game you actually end up being a fantastic counter to Brand, as his ult will not pass through your ult. Ulting your team might suck but it also might save them and waste his. Make sure you're keeping communication open.”

Daedralus says “Range and stuns and over time damage. What could go wrong? This build is overall best for champions in melee range as range is a problem in general for WW in the early game. Brand is one of those cases where this problem is even greater. Doesn't matter if you are near or away from your creeps as he has a method of burning your fur in any case. Best tip is to avoid this matchup but if you do end up in it, play safe and farm safe until you get gunblade. You get to turn the tides on him if you land your R for an all in with gunblade active as well. It is just the early game you need to survive and hope he doesn't also go off-tank as that can be hard to one-shot, giving him the oppurtunity to do a turn around kill when all your abilities are on cool-down. ”

MeatFeast says “Brand is another obnoxious champion who can really put the hurt on you during the laning phase. His pillar of flame is a pain to avoid during the early levels and does a surprising amount of damage. Make sure to stand away from your ADC so he has to pick one target. The trick with Brand is to avoid getting hit by more than one spell, if you do so, you will be stunned and take massive burn damage. I rush mobility boots as a priority in this lane so it's easier to dodge his spells. Locket of the Iron Solari is also your friend here so complete that next. Brand can solo kill you so you have to respect his damage, especially when he has his ultimate. You have to just ride out levels 1 - 6 trying to stay in touching distance with the opposing lane. At 6, you can easily blow him up with your Ult combo and ignite . Brand is very squishy and likes to poke so use that to your advantage. Whilst not an easy lane a good Leona should win this most times.”

This is a very passive lane for Alistar, where you won't be able to do much without your jungler.

Through distance management and effective usage of your flash, you could easily get a kill or more bot lane and take control of the lane through your pressure.”

Also, when he ults you, try to Rewind when the blob is bouncing AWAY from you, since rewinding while it's coming for you will still make it target you. He's a teamfighting mage, not a lane bully--you can handle him pretty easily as long as you're not letting yourself get stunned all over the place.”

Zefirez says “This guy is nasty. You know the drill - has huge damage, does %max health damage (not good for you), his ult is an anti-grouping tool that feeds off you being along with partner in botlane, and has a stun of his own.
Early levels are all about surviving him. Taking small mresist runes is advised. Dodging his skillshots even more so. Remember that his q (the small forward fireball) can stun you only if he recently landed another spell on you and you're "on fire". Also his big aoe damage passive is triggered when he lands 3 consecutive spells on you. If he misses one (and he doesn't have ult on him, or you know it's on cd), that may be your window for some aggression.
Once you hit 6 though, it's time to go to town on his ass, as he's squishy, has no mobility and isn't half as good at zoning like for example Zyra.
Win or lose in brand lane depends on you and your adc not feeding your assess off pre 6. Do that and his goose is cooked. ”

Ahpulzz says “His passive alone merits Brand a spot in red portion of this list. His passive, Blaze, automatically burns off 8% of your health if any of his abilities touch you, giving him harass that can be especially effective against a bulky tank like yourself. You can't charge at him directly when his skills are up unless you're looking to get stunned and chunked for a sizable portion of your health. However, for all Brand's power he has two weaknesses - a lack of mobility, and high cooldowns. When in a straight up fight, Brand needs ALL of his spells to pull off his combos - just one spell on cooldown makes Brand that much less powerful. Also, he has 0 ways of shipping himself out of a bad situation other than Flash, so look towards your pillar to abuse this fact.”

Chromuro says “Heavy poke champion with hard CCs and dot. You're gonna have a bad time with him in lane. Go ultrasafe, your positioning is the key to survive the matchup. Hope that your ADC isn't too stupid to get picked, you can't really sustain the damage he deal.”

doubte says “this is a rough matchup for bard as brand has high kill threat and lots of poke. I recommend looking to cheese in a brush early and stun him. focus the brand first in two vs twos and burst him before he's able to get his combo off. take another point into w at level three as it gives you a lot more sustain in the early game. rush mercury treads and use your ultimate on him once you hit six. prioritize brand first in fights, as he's really squishy and doesn't have any reliable form of escape.”

If he tries to Q on you, then Q on a minion to dodge, or if he's close enough then E over it and then land on him. If he tries to W on you then Q at him if he's close enough, or E out of the way and land on him if he's close enough. Late game, Q or E away from your team if he Ults on you.”

z4ki says “Most annoying support. He have a lot of burst damage and combined with the cc (Stun and Burn effect). Keep watching Brand combo in laning phase because if not the worst moment maybe apporached you and your ADC. I recommend ban him this patch”

NirvanaBunny says “This for all those evil people who take Brand as a support! He has decent range and high damage so be careful! Be sure to dodge his skill-shots if you lane against him. He's also squishy if he overextends! Remember if he targets your ADC to heal them.”
0
hipstersora says “If you can dodge his abilities while hitting yours, you win. If the opposite happens, he wins. It's as simple as that. Brand is honestly BS levels of stupid though, so expect him to get fed off bot and kill you in a single rotation. He also pushes you in very quickly, and can hit you with his E pretty easily when you go in to Q/auto farm.”

DBtheKnight says “Strong poke early and a very difficult Ult for you to deal with. But he's slow, so look for him to step up and get him with W.”
0
SawyerNelson says “Brand has higher range than Lux, and has better poke, but proper spacing negates the match up completely. Shields also negate his damage on you or your ADC. Most of this match comes down to you or your ADC properly dodging his W levels 1-3.”

YungRichGrandmas says “Can literally 100-0 you if you don't play safe and respect his damage”
0
LighterDay says “Two of Brand's abilities works well if you are close to him, so Pyke cannot get too close to Brand. Even from a distance, Brand's E can be used to harass Pyke and the ADC all game. However, since Brand is relatively squishy, Pyke's ult can easily finish him off. ”
0
DrunkenWolf says “It's a good matchup for Zyra, just make sure to not take long fights and poke him with your outrange.”
0
Hanjaro says “Brand is slightly trickier than Bard to play against. Engaging on Brand with your E allows him to know exactly where you are going to be to land his own combo. This lane Brand is an equal threat to the carry potentially more damage coming from Brand in most points in the game. Brands weakness early is he is relatively squishy.”

Dayum Draven says “Brand can deal some heavy damage and stuns. Try to poke him before he pokes you”

MightyPebble says “very aggressive support who will poke a lot more than you and if you're not good at dodging - you die.”

MightyPebble says “Too aggressive and has more range than you. You better be good at dodging because he wont let you take a break.”

best_shacosupport911 says “Your boxes help Brand with his E in certain combos.
However you can block his Q with a box, just be sure to run from his E>W retaliation. If your box is burning, he can W>E buffer the animation for a quick combo.
The same idea applies with his ult. Always seperate yourself and your clone if he has ult. At a certain point you'll be used to the pick, if so just catch the ult with your clone and run it away, bonus points for right clicking Brand in this time to trick him. ”
0
GameWolfUltimate says “Brand Support is annoying, no matter who you play as. Whenever you go in for the aa for your passive watch out for him as he will deal lots of dmg in a short time. same goes for your adc too.
Try to poke him down with your q so he wont be able to make such plays as he will put himself in danger.”
0
Kian987 says “He's a nighmare. Tons of CC, damage, poke, ranged, kill and zoning potential. I usually turtle and wait for the end of laning. Shen but probably any other tanky support cannot stand so much AP/AD damage coming from enemy ADC and Brand. Your early against him is terrible.”

tomer1995 says “can use his ult whenever you want to sheild your allies

Morton Koopa Jr says “High damage and Yuumi's W wont stop his passive burn.”

NinJoshPanda says “High damage "supports" (champions that don't actually support but just do damage; Brand, Veigar, Teemo etc) pose a high threat as they will try to constantly poke you and your ADC.”

noolan says “Like Anivia, brand also relies heavily on landing his stun. Try to stay in the middle of the minion to avoid his stun, or if necessary, shunpo away from his q.”

Kaeze Poulsen says “His poke and AOE it's annoying, but he doesn't have mobility, so you can poke him back a bit.”

istaysmiley says “Yuumi has a hard time dealing with high CC/Poke champs. It forces ADC to be very passive & lose out on gold.”

Shderen says “Low cooldowns, roughly same range as you, both DoT and burst-based, all you've got is sustain and your silence. Skill matchup, leaning towards him.”

Drlazerbeam says “Brand turns Nami players into well cooked sushi. He can deny a Nami's poke and sustain by simply bursting you down. He also has better range which makes your Ebb and Flow harder to pull off.”

Drlazerbeam says “Karma's short range puts her in the danger zone against brand. Even with her shields, she can not protect herself or her ADC effectively vs a Brand.”

N0ZOMI says “Brand has better poke and higher base health. However if you manage to dodge his abilities you can use that to punish him and take over lane control. Also his Q is pretty annoying. Medium risk of all in engaging and bursting you down.”

Schuit says “Brand does well against all high hp champions, Your E and his W are about the same range, however if you can land E, and your adc adds in their damage, you'll win the trade every time.”

0
FwuffyMilk says “Brand does so much damage as a support. Try to shield when he pokes with his W. If you can dodge his skills well pre-6 then try to abuse him. After 6 though be careful since if you try to engage on him he will just ult you and your ADC which will hurt sooo much.”

xxMyDixieRektxx says “Bro this jerk can go chase a bag fr tho... like goddang his damage. Careful of his stun... throw some shade and douse his a$$ with some saliva when you're all inning. Time your E right when he ults.”

semisomniac says “He's really annoying. So much damage... but if you can dodge his W early, even if your ADC gets hit, you can outheal him. Just make sure to sustain by landing Q's.”

otto222 says “Just like Zyra, very high damage if he lands his stuff.”

TheLuluMain says “Very tough lane, he outranges you and getting close enough to trade often results in you getting stunned and dying. You have no healing so you must react in time to shield his damage. Play safe and hope for the late game to come soon.”

Enfurnal says “Brand stuns if he ignites you with his abilities and Qs so don't get hit. Three abilities hit by him you will have an AOE ring damage around you so don't go near your teammates or they will hate you and SPAM question mark pings at you.”

TenshiQwQ says “High poke damage lane. Try to sustain his poke and avoid getting hit by his stun.”
0
Guychk says “It is really hard to deal with Brand's poke early game, and he has a stun constantly up. Thresh's Magic Resist is not the greatest, so he can easily get popped by a brand. CC Brand into oblivion, and ask for jungle gank. Remember, he has no escapes, so if you burn his flash, next gank he will be as dead as dead can be. ”

Jeroen R8 says “Brand is a real pain to face due to his long range poke with Pillar of Flame. Combine this with his stun and insane damage and you've got yourself a dead ADC.”

Guychk says “He is your counter. You should dodge. He will poke you, and your laner constantly out of lane. If you don't go back you get stunned, and you die. It will not be a fun lane. ”
0
Tipurrs says “Skill match-up that is in Brand's favor because of his superior range. Early game, Brand is a bully. Just let him push and farm in your tower and then ask for some ganks. He's too immobile and has no escapes. Just dodge his W and Q and you win the trade(which is not hard). ”
0
SolarSupport says “Zyra and Brand have some annoying disjointed and high damage pokes that are honestly just bad news for a tank support.”
0
Udaa says “you out range brand so poke him down and then go all in. remember to dodge his q stun.. he doesn't have a root/stun at lvl 1 so go all in at 1 if ur adc is strong.”
0
Knoppers123456 says “Pretty much the same as zyra, but with the small difference that you will be able to kill him as soon as he misses his q and w
Try baiting out q and w without dying (hard move)
Try Full engade at 6 (medium hard move)”

Vulpanium says “Bursty like Zyra is, he has to hit you with an ability to combo, so do your best to dodge his abilities.”

O Takes Square says “So here's the thing, Technically you CAN beat him for sure but he can absolutely dumpster you too and it sometimes seems way easier for him to do it so you need to be able to dodge his W's for sure and hopefuly your ADC can as well. IF he starts getting ahead in lane its gonna be really tough”

I love Lun Lun says “Brand is burning our health away,that is not the best thing for us.In order to heal our allies we must stand close to them and close is what Brand needs.His ult,W,passive are all so very dangerous for Soraka.If he burns our wings off we are not an angel anymore.That way you should get him waste his W and try to Q him as much as possible.A scared Brand can't do much in lane since he needs to be aggressive.Get him to play more defensively.Our E is a major helper here since not only you can ruin his combo but you can poke from afar.”
0
TurnDaBeatAround says “People overrate his danger level. If you play to stay out of his range and prioritize that as you work, you can bait out his mana and win the exchange.”
0
weinerman says “hah, pathetic, as long as you still have a working e button he shouldn' t be that much of a threat. also with your amazing kiting movement stuff if he does that aoe thingy (his ult? i dont even know LOL) you can run away from your support real quick to end it.”

0
Synk1904 says “Does a lot of damage, and pokes you easily, be careful if you are ablaze because he may stun you and if you die you may spread his E to your adc.”
0
Zefirez says “He wants to see the world burn, including forests which include bears!
Generally he's a nightmare to any and all tank supports, due to massive max % hp shred on his passive and anti-team ult that bounces between targets.
Key to fighting his guy is avoiding his skillshots and then hard engaging and killing him before he kills you.
His only stun (the simple fireball shooting in a line) will not work if he didn't hit you with another spell first and you're taking damage over time from his passive as result. Also it's a skillshot that can be blocked by minions.
If he failed to do land and stun you - that's your que to engage! As for items - Mercury Threads, Adaptive Helmet and/or Locket of Iron Solari recommended.
Also keep in mind, that unlike most tanks (which he is not btw), Voli sports very high base movement speed - in trained hands this can lead to many missed skillshots on Brand's part!”
0
Qwerty19 says “The burn.... it hurts. Try to dodge and bait his w so he runs oom and then engage when he can't do damage. I buy boots earlier for extra move speed and depending on the skill of the brand I might build mr before i get into knightsvow. Definitely merc treads though.”
0
SpicySkelleton says “I don't remember when he became viable for support or when ever he became as a popular support pick but he can be either a major threat or just some idiot soon to become easy money for your team. As a mage he can safely poke you and your adc while being in the safe confines of his wall of filthy lesser minions while your obviously superior and glorious children minions get slaughtered by his adc who will most likely be Yasou or Ezreal. Avoid his abilities and try to get your adc to wave clear as much as possible to set up a grab to take him down, if you take him first his adc can't do really anything against you & your adc and will retreat to tower, the more often hes dead the more often you can push lane. Also if you and your teamates are low hp or half and hes fed for wall that is good and holy in this god forsaken game, keep away form your allies if he does his R on you or your teammate next to you. If not it will lead to having your team too damaged to stay in a teamfight or having them all killed.”
0
FearlessGames says “Brand is Karma on steroids and will poke you down fast pre-3. Just play safe, and try to prevent your ADC from biting the dust.”
0
undeadsoldiers says “I think this is quite similiar to Xerath, as Brand is also flash dependant mobility wise, except you can dodge his abilities easier and he can be easier to all in after landing E by E>Q(back)>R>Q(front).
Most of his damage comes from his Q and W. Don't let him land those. Stay away from your wave so he can't poke you and last-hit minions in one W.
If he lands one ability or point-and-clicks his E on you, he'll empower his next one; if he lands his full combo on you, you'll also take extra damage from his passive.
Suggested: Rush boots for dodging?”
0
macspam says “Get early boots to dodge his W, and don't stand too close to minions to avoid his E spreading to you. Late game, Adaptive helm is a good buy to counter Brand's R in teamfights. ”
0
meowingcats says “Equally as annoying as Lux. Skill matchup. You got this.”
0
Lonxu says “He has a ton of poke, huge base damage, stun!
Basically you need to avoid the W then fuck him up with your spells.
That's about it. And also somehow have more sustain than him( the runes, refillable potion?).
Level 6 it comes down to who lands the combo first for kills. Often it might be traded kills.

Xinister says “Has heavy burst and cc, if he lands full combo on you, you could be in trouble as his burn would weaken ur E.”

nicko9090 says “Basically same as Zyra but his damage is huge and deal % , if you are not careful it can be deadly, but it's fairly easy to win lane before 6 . You need to play aggressive to don't get pushed out of the lane.”

Neekster says “One of the fastest jungle clearers. You 'll might probably have a hard time once he gets his Rylai Crystal Scepter. You have to snowball faster than Brand or else you'll be in a hard spot.”

lurutin says “This champion sets his place here because he has one of the best clears in game, he ends his path before you and can gank a lot and you hate champions that do that.”
0
Yomu says “He can kite you well and do good damage with the Rylais build. His full clear is about 30 seconds faster than yours. But, if you position well and catch him lacking it's almost always a confirmed one shot. Good champion to demon combo

huncho1v9 says “Very Easy matchup, Gwen counters Brand. Brand will always play for full clear, Gwen is fine with handshaking full clears (you want farm). Brand is one of the best Grub takers in the game, so watch out for that. If he has ghost you can just run him down easily by spacing his spells or using W for his Q (stun). Overall just a free matchup, you can always run him down.”

Foxirion says “Brand’s burst damage and crowd control can be a moderate threat to Viego.”

huncho1v9 says “- Easy matchup, if enemy brand is good his clear matches yours. Can punish early if you get early vision and run him down with ghost. Good brands usually take ghost so be careful for their spacing. You win every 1v1 as long as your movement is good. Try to stay out of the point blank range of his Q and you just win.”

Jeidoz says “W her stun bolt. Otherwise, you would dead from his procast due to failed E.”

VainTaka says “Fight as a team against him and be spread out to prevent getting brand ult. Do NOT have all lane losing. Try to secure a lane where you can either get dragon obj or rift obj. Brand lack of mobility is what you need to take advantage of. You either out gank him or focus objective. You don't win 1v1 against him unless, for some reason, you are 2 items up. ”

Fyir says “He is squishy and you can outrange him. His ult can be dangerous and if he is out of vision and gets the jump on you, but your shield can often save you.”

Mignognium says “Brand Jgl est devenu une énorme menace à cause des nouveaux items. Éviter de vous faire toucher par son geyser de feu par tout les moyens sinon vous allez subir les pleurs dégâts que vous n'ayez jamais vu. Un item anti-AP fortement recommandé. Et attention si il fait un vilain Zoniah.”

Kocykek says “Brand's AP max %hp damage can be really disgusting. Be sure to buy at least Mercury's Treads, his CC combined with slows from Rylai is irritating. If possible more magic resist. He doesn't have any dashes so once you engage onto him he's really easy to kill but of course don't understimate his poke-burst-oneshot gameplay.”

xTechikaze says “He does crazy damage so dodging his skill shots comes first. Use W to help dodge his fire ball and use E to dodge his AOE. You can out farm him if need be but counter ganks are your best bet against Brand.”

Cookiemanman says “Brand is a very strong jungle champion in the current meta. Look to use your R (ultimate) to dodge his stun during fights. If you are able to get on top of him he is dealt with very easily.”

Zero macro says “Briar has a way stronger statcheck than Brand, thereby she can easily get Gap Closer into Brand —> Brand only has Ablaze special effect Q 1.5 seconds stun and R Slow to deal with Briar. Later on Brand can get Rylai's Crystal Scepter to deal with Briar’s insane movement speed rush.
Briar jungle has a faster jungle clear and stat check than Brand, which will fade slightly over time.

Turnupthetoaster says “You may be surprised to see Brand here, but with the right items he can slow you and apply anti-healing to you for up to 11 seconds. Not to mention he does a lot of % health damage. For bruiser Rengar this is especially bad since he has a lot of health and sustain with that build. And of course, this champion is one of the best team fighters in the game, so that doesn't help either. Yes, he's very bursty, but he can also apply a high damage DoT, which is hard to recover from. If you can, focus him down and try to prevent him from playing the game as much as possible.”

checca says “Most of the time when facing off against Brand, Zac Jungle won't have to worry too much, as his core items have built-in magic resist. Zac is usually at an advantage when fighting Brand because of the gold disparity, and can win a 1v1 at any point in the game. Be careful of Brand's stun ability and his choice of items, such as Grevious Wounds or Magic Penetration.”

Atemporal says “Não deixe Brand cutucar você no nível 1, fique para trás e não o deixe acertar um W ou obter um E em você de graça, pelo menos faça ele trabalhar para isso. Você pode tentar negociar já no nível 2, se ele pegou W no nível 2, então você E para frente assim que ele usar W e então
rápido E Q automático e executado. Você quer trocar neste confronto basicamente sempre que ele não puder atordoá-lo, então se o Q dele estiver baixo, você vai, se o W e o dele estiverem baixos, você vai. Você também pode ir se ele desperdiçar apenas 1 habilidade. Por exemplo, se ele usa E ou W no
wave então apenas insta W e E Q auto run trade. W pode atordoar, mas não importa o que absorva parte de seu dano. Ele é hiper imóvel, então aterrissar W é muito realista. E longe do W dele se estiver prestes a acertar, nunca deixe ele te cutucar de graça.
A marca E foi alterada há pouco tempo para se espalhar para os inimigos ao redor do alvo principal, não importa o que aconteça, não subestime a propagação E. Ser atingido por apenas uma única habilidade aplicará a passiva de queimadura e o dividirá por um pouco de hp, e você deseja
cada ponto de saúde para permitir que você pule nele sempre que quiser. Seu waveclear é muito melhor que o dele, é difícil para Brand acertar a onda inteira com W, então procure por empurrões fortes se ele não parecer matável. Você supera ele super forte
e ele é fácil de pegar com Ws e combos rápidos mais tarde. Depois de pegar o Rocketbelt, não há muito que ele possa fazer quando você chegar nele. Use Rocketbelt para correr para ele/através dele para evitar seu atordoamento Q. Merc Threads são uma opção contra ele se
o resto de sua equipe também tem algum dano CC/Magic, mas lembre-se de que usar Merc Threads sempre significa que você sacrifica muito dano.”

Geomine says “you can sustain his poke with your W but if brand is good he will be very annoying and have constant kil pressure to you and adc. if he doesnt snowball he will get him time to do good dmg in teamfights which at that point you will either have end the game or you going to have item advantage so it wont matter much. just sustain his dmg scale up and DONT DIE.”

DarkMareOfficial says “Brand is squishi if you manage to get in first without getting zoned out, you can take him on. But most times he will be looking into keeping his distance.
Most Important: Has lots of damage during the game + His Ultimate counters you if you use Decoy (W) in the wrong and worst possible time ever.”

Janooobi says “care how you use your Q against him, it will set him up easily for his own stun and big damage will follow”

Simple Shawn says “[TL;DR - GANK WHEN LACKS MANA OR USED ONE OF HIS SPELLS PRE-6, WHEN HE USED HIS R POST-6. HIS TEAMFIGHTING IS DEADLY, FOCUS HIM OR MAKE SURE YOU TANK HIS ULT AND ARE FARAWAY FROM YOUR TEAM. YOU BEAT 1v1 HIM AFTER TAKING THE 2nd MR ITEM IN ANY BUILD.]
[Brand is very annoying, his stun is overriding your Q, his ult and passive combo can annihilate your team if you aren't spaced enough, his scaling is high. In order to gank him, make him unable to stun you or ult him. Try to take the most of his spells while ulting when engaging or just tanking his kit with W on fights so that he becomes a caster minion for a couple of seconds that you need to kill him.]

Ambient12 says “This is the only support I would consider rushing a Hexdrinker against, because he can easily out damage his adc if he decides to push a Frost Queen's Claim.

If he isn't landing skill shots and you feel confident, you can proceed with your normal build.”

Tips Against Brand in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
j4ss says “Annoying poke but you can play his game too. He have zero sustain but he can rush Rylai's and have good HP. Make sure to harass him with all of your poke tools and call for ganks, as he have zero escape.”
0
wolfi24 says “Just you but basically better, outpokes, outscales and outdamages you”
0
Coslan says “Similar thing to Lux, Incredible access to CC and nuke level damage. Try to gain a advantage when you hit level 2. Poke, Burst.”
0
MachineHeraldTTV says “Easy as f. you both can oneshot eachother but he needs to hit stun. for this reason you should go ghost secondary. and perma oneshot him [Aery]”
0
Lusimus22 says “Very annoying, pokes and pokes and denial and pokes.
Try to give your team an edge with roams an don lose a tower!”
0
GreenReapers says “Any page viable.
Long sword start.
Lane poke is kinda hard, but becomes very easier once you get your W. Brand is very immobile. Engage him after you dodged/he wasted one or two of his abilities, as he's very combo reliant. You can stick to him and damage him for rather long, but don't get too greedy or he'll chunk you if he hit's his combo when you stay too long.
You can dodge most of his abilities with your R.”
0
5guzKAO5 says “Dont get hit by his Q when you are flamed up, or you are done.”
0
Shifty says “Brand is incredibly annoying to deal with. Do not stand anywhere near your own minions as Brand will try to proc his E on burning minions to poke you. Stand by either bush in lane to avoid this. Dodge everything he throws at you. If he uses his W and Q, you can trade during those cooldowns. Otherwise, play extremely safe.”
0
Faz18835 says “He has more range due to his combo, if you land double Q often he should back and you win the lane.”
0
otaliz says “Many players tend to back away when Brand uses his abilities to poke. However, an effective strategy is to counterattack when he uses his abilities. If he makes a mistake, you gain an advantage in the negotiation. If he gets it right, you can try to trade even while his abilities are in cooldown.”

michaliis says “Go Dorans Shield. He is really annoying with his poke. When he uses his abilities to poke you trade with him. You will destroy him in close combat.”

awawa says “Dodge his stuff, land your stuff. Its as simple as that. Your combo kills faster than his. Hes slow and squishy as well.
You wont see him often in mid lane, though.”
0
ShokLoL says “Brand is surprisingly strong in lane but you should be able to poke him out and he really struggles with your waveclear as the lane goes on. Post 6 you should easily be able to push the wave and harass him under tower as long as you don't fall behind before then.”

InTaggar says “ENG: Easy Matchup, avoid his stun and stay away from he on the trades after lvl 6.
Runes: Aery with Gathering Storm.

elite600.lunar bacca says “pretty hard matchup but if you dodge his skill shot you can get a good trade the main thing in lower elo is that they won t respect you if you manage to get a good trade they ll get scared and then you harass them the secret is confidence//there s thin line between confidence and inting”

FelixMrChat says “The matchup I hate the most, you're going to have a lot of trouble both early and late game. He represents everything you hate with a ton of damage, even at 0/10. It's relatively easy to get kills and if you're comfortable on Swain I recommend rushing Cosmic Drive and Mercury's Treads, with Phase Rush. It will be mandatory to have a Rylai's Crystal Scepter at some point. In this matchup you have to be especially careful of his poke, when an enemy is ignited and he uses his Z the damage spreads in a large area, Swain's auto attacks being very short range it is extremely easy for him to abuse it. You can take a Corrupting Potion even though I strongly advise against it, also don't forget that his damage scales on max HP which can be surprising, during your power spikes you are not that all-powerful at 2 items against Brand. The best thing is still to manage to feed on the botlane or toplane! In addition, Brand is an excellent setup for ganks, especially when he has his Rylai's and his ult so never forget that the jungler is probably not far away, warding is ESSENTIAL.”
0
sethpls says “Giga-overbuffed champ IMO this guy's damage is nuts. Farm lane and poke with R until he's low enough. Don't go in before that and avoid his passive to the best of your ability.”

Axsanea says “[EN]
Constant poke, and if you use your "E" towards him without baiting out first his "E" or "W" you'll get stun and out-damaged, your "E" is very important in this match up, use it to dogde his "W" stay away from the minions so you don't get the extended "E" and then you can engage pretty easy.
[ES]
pokeo constante, y si usas tu "E" hacia él sin provocar primero su "E" o "W", quedarás aturdido y superado por el daño, tu "E" es muy importante en este enfrentamiento, úsala para esquivar su "W" manténte alejado de los minions para que no obtenga la "E" extendida y luego puedas atacar con bastante facilidad.”

Lord Reeves says “This matchup could be minor or even really. Avoid Brand's E harass by not standing in minion wave. Once his E is down look to take short trade using minions to block his Q stun, rinse and repeat. Once you are 6 you can easily all in, just be mindful to space his ult range.”

WarwicksSimp says “Easy to kill in lane usually though hard to dive cause of his point click ability into stun is basically undodgeable when upclose. Dont fight him when he has zhonyas, This would be a minor threat matchup but his teamfight potential even when behind is disgusting sadly, so teamfights can go eitherway sometimes.”

darkezmond says “It all depends on how strong the Brand is against you, dangerous because of its W and E, beware of it after lvl 6”

Glitchgun says “I've only played against him once in midlane, but it's the same suffer as in botlane..Hit kit is strong early game, and even if you dogde his W, his E will just hit you instead. Eclipe migt be the better option against him and remember to use barrier, before you are low, else you're getting burned to death.”

Edwwardo says “Decently hard to lane against early as you're more dependent on your Q for farming and he can zone the wave hard. Play safe early to make sure you can stay in lane as much as possible and soal xp to level your W. After early game he's not too much of a problem for you personally, neither in lane or outside of it.”

AnxialSociety says “Electrocute impact eyeball hunter.
Manaflow transcendence.
Banshee's second. Don't ult forwards or he can punish hard. Insane damage.
Can spread flame from wave to you into a stun.
Play around his cooldowns (super abusable with timing) to poke and make it hard to farm.”

MiniLuxi1 says “Keep your distance, calmly stand the line and farm, it's best to wait for the forester's ganges and try to catch him, he can quickly all-in you, and perspam, there are no special interactions. If you see it (R), then move away from the allies, if it's on you then from the allies, it looks like a fireball riding on the ground (just not riding).”

StralekS says “Not Kat Favored but Can win: Conqueror/ Resolve: vs Mages, Ignite + Flash, Doran Shield/ Dark Seal start. Play lane safely, farm, and when he wastes ability, punish him with all in combo. Full AP for higher win chances. Recommended Sunderer rush with Doran Shield start.”

Mayuushii says “Dodge his abilities and try to use W movespeed to help do so. Fight for wave control to threaten him”

Samikin says “Minor-Threat.
Make sure that Brand isn't able to proc his 3-ability passive on you and you'll be great! He does have more range than you, but his W + Q's are hard to land from farther away. After 6, you have more range than him and Brand won't have time to react to your R's.
Recommendation:
Aery (+ Relentless Hunter) /Electrocute (+ Manaflow / Scorch) rune is fine here
Standard Luden's One-Shot build”

SalSushi says “Dodge stun and you win, but post-6 he can just press R and your HP is gone. Similiar to Anivia, instakill and dodge cc or you're screwed. Not as bad in lane though, but still very annoying.

Aria_Legend says “Level 1-5: You want to start corrupting pot against him because his E poke (Conflagration) is pretty much impossible to dodge, it has very high range, extends to minions and reaches you. Play for farming.
From level 6+: You can look to assassinate him, he's immobile, easy to kill.
just take into account his damage numbers are very high, so you want to dodge his Q (Sear) and his W (Pillar of Flame) to avoid getting one-shotted by him. If you can dodge his 2 skillshots, you're good to go. ”

Atemporal says “Não deixe Brand cutucar você no nível 1, fique para trás e não o deixe acertar um W ou obter um E em você de graça, pelo menos faça ele trabalhar para isso. Você pode tentar negociar já no nível 2, se ele pegou W no nível 2, então você E para frente assim que ele usar W e então
rápido E Q automático e executado. Você quer trocar neste confronto basicamente sempre que ele não puder atordoá-lo, então se o Q dele estiver baixo, você vai, se o W e o dele estiverem baixos, você vai. Você também pode ir se ele desperdiçar apenas 1 habilidade. Por exemplo, se ele usa E ou W no
wave então apenas insta W e E Q auto run trade. W pode atordoar, mas não importa o que absorva parte de seu dano. Ele é hiper imóvel, então aterrissar W é muito realista. E longe do W dele se estiver prestes a acertar, nunca deixe ele te cutucar de graça.
A marca E foi alterada há pouco tempo para se espalhar para os inimigos ao redor do alvo principal, não importa o que aconteça, não subestime a propagação E. Ser atingido por apenas uma única habilidade aplicará a passiva de queimadura e o dividirá por um pouco de hp, e você deseja
cada ponto de saúde para permitir que você pule nele sempre que quiser. Seu waveclear é muito melhor que o dele, é difícil para Brand acertar a onda inteira com W, então procure por empurrões fortes se ele não parecer matável. Você supera ele super forte
e ele é fácil de pegar com Ws e combos rápidos mais tarde. Depois de pegar o Rocketbelt, não há muito que ele possa fazer quando você chegar nele. Use Rocketbelt para correr para ele/através dele para evitar seu atordoamento Q. Merc Threads são uma opção contra ele se
o resto de sua equipe também tem algum dano CC/Magic, mas lembre-se de que usar Merc Threads sempre significa que você sacrifica muito dano.”

SanyGame says “Almost the same as Xerath, but with a shorter range. Dodge his skill shots and avoid the stun at all costs, as he can easily oneshot you in the mid game. Don't stand too close to your turrets while you're low on health, as his ult can bounce from them right at you.”

You outscale him.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Try and stay behind the minion wave but not in it. This will force Brand to choose between harassing you with his Pillar of Flame(W) or pushing the wave. This is also a good place to stand as the minions will block his Sear(Q). Don’t let Brand harass you for free. Try and stand back and out of range of him so he’s unable to attack and harass you with his Pillar of Flame(W). Ensure that you remain healthy otherwise you’ll never be able to fight him. A good time to fight Brand is when he’s out of mana or has an ability on cooldown. This will make trading much better for you as he will not be able to dish out a lot of damage (or possibly stun you if his Sear(Q) is on cooldown) as he’ll have 1 less ability to use.”
0
SkyBanana says “A rare mid laner to go against. He is mostly annoying via poke with his WE and passive. You will out scale him since he is known as a suicidal all in champion. Even though you want to group up, against him I suggest you don't until you eliminate him first then group up and deal with the enemy team. He isn't bad to go against just annoying at times. You'll be fine.”

KayyeN says “Not many people play Brand mid in 2022 but if they do, it won't be fun. He can constantly poke you by casting W-E on the wave. If you jump to a dagger, you can try dodging his skillshots with the movespeed from your W. but if his monitor is on, either his W or Q will hit you. You can't stay close to him either because you will eat his full R, automatically losing the fight. On the other hand, if you jump away to a minion and you don't time it well, his R will instead bounce between you and the minion, still dealing a ton of damage to you.”

Edex_StarsUpYourASol says “Early Game:
Brand can outtrade you, so wait for him to use his abilities on wave to trade, or just insta clear wave so that Brand has to use abilities on wave.
For the most part, if you are healthy, try to kill him. If you aren't, shove and roam sidelanes
Mid/Late Game:
Brand becomes an absolute monster as he can aoe your team heavily, but you are also an extremely strong aoe but with the added bonus of burst. Try to burst Brand down before he can do much and if he ult zhonyas, go zhonyas as well to prevent the other damage around you two.”

Body Those Fools says “You outrange him. Try to side-step his W. If he Ws the wave, make sure you don't stand near it because he can E and it will spread to you. It's hard to all-in him because his Ult can bounce off of him and then he can stun you. Just poke him down, then all-in him when he's low enough for the kill.”

Ahri Simplord says “This is a pretty even lane. You can't really reach him pre 6 if he spaces well cause he has higher range than you do,after 6 you dont want to be on top of him on an all in since his R will bounce off him and back to you. Never stop moving in order to avoid his W and try to stay away from your minnions whenever he uses W on them cause his E can hurt pretty bad if he has Liandry's completed. He's pretty immobile and usually wants to step up to use his abilities so he's a priority target to pick off with your E.”

TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Brand has a lot of poke with his E being able to bounce off the wave and hit you at large distances. However he has high cooldowns especially early. If he ever uses his Q or W, all in him immediately. So long as he doesn't get his passive off on you you will win this trade. Post 6 you do not want to fight him unless you have Immortal Shieldbow up. Same rules apply to all in him when he uses his cooldowns.”
0
lonestar1870 says “He has high base damage, but the matchup is similar to Annie since you outrange him.
Make sure to stand away from minions when he can E to spread blaze to you and so he can't W you and the wave at the same time. This leaves you vulnerable to his Q (stun), so be careful and make sure to dodge it.
You easily oneshot him at lvl 6 with a 6 ball ult if you can land 1-2 Q's on him.
He is easy to gank and you can set up a freeze easily if your jungler is nearby.
Banshees can be good if you need some MR since he does a lot of damage.
Electrocute and Comet are fine in this matchup, but PR works well in high elo. Any summs are fine.”

WayOfTheTempesst says “This matchup is really easy, provided you can dodge his Q and W. Take very short trades with him and he will
never be able to full combo you. Not very many people play this champ outside of support, so you will rarely
ever play against Brand mid. Don't Q3 into him or he will full combo you.”
0
WayOfTheTempesst says “Pretty easy lane. Windwall his Q. You can E out of his W. Get Null-Magic Mantle if you aren't confident in Windwalling his Qs. He will try to E Q you when you E towards him, so just EQ then Windwall to block the Q. When Ulting him, E through him right away to get a better angle so his Q is a lot easier to Windwall.”

Drewmatth Taliyah says “Start Doran + 2 Pots if 1) You think you can outplay her and hit your W's to generate a kill at levels 3-5 or 2) You think she will burst you down post 6 (get an extra ring).
Start Corrupting if you think you will not hit your W's (or you will get poked down) and you rely more on wave clear/spammy poke (you will be way more squisher but more durable -- this is recommended if you are sure you will not get hit by CC spells and instantly die).
Relatively easy matchup but you can still be killed if he hits his stun. Predict that and go for the kill. Roam if you cannot kill him but push your lane first. Stay away from minions when he casts R (or teammates, of course).”
0
Polarshift says “Outdamages you, but you can easily setup a gank for your jungler since he is very immobile. This way you can shut him down over and over again. Ryze is also has way better waveclear and roaming abilities, so take advantage of that. Remember that his ultimate counts as a third stack too. Tip you'll probably never use, but: His passive is actually dodgeable with your Realm Warp (ultimate). Search it up on YouTube. Learn important ability cooldowns through an external website and fight enemies when their abilities are on cooldown.”

Fuzzmonkey says “Leblanc struggles a little bit since her revert. With Brand he can ult you and it will bounce between you and your passive clone(once he gets you low enough), so make sure to steer your clone away from yourself to avoid the bounce damage. Other than that, avoid his Q stun and you should be able to deal with him.”
0
Yeager says “His range can be quite annoying but luckily his main poke (Q and W) are skillshots. Rush tier 2 boots(Mercs) right after lost chapter and this lane will be easy. Brand usually builds rylais chapter and liandries because of its synergy with the passive, so you will be hit by slows into stuns during fights. Mercs helps with that, but if it isn't enough, then cleanse is. ”

Dr Eggmund says “Hate this champion with my entire soul oh my lord. Your main priority is to avoid his combo at all costs this means his BS Aoe attack and his stun.

Sylvan Lore says “Brand is a matchup very similar to Ahri in your early trading. He has good range and you want to make sure that when he is poking with his W that he is forced to make the decision between pushing the wave and damaging you. At the same time though, standing beside your wave leaves you at threat for a stun which is in almost all cases a lost trade. If you ever find yourself in a 1v1 without a wave nearby after level 6 it is possible to win, but in generally he out damages you. You will out-scale him with utility and a bunch of other advantages, but should your team clump poorly he can destroy a teamfight. Barrier can be good if you feel afraid in this matchup but I also think his kill pressure isn't so high that teleport isn't an option. Merc treads or Banshee's Veil work if you do fall behind and are struggling to hold your own against him. ”
