Brand Bot guide

Brand adc runs the core combo of Pillar of Flame (W), Conflagration (E), and Sear (Q): land Pillar of Flame or Conflagration first to apply Blaze (passive), then Sear stuns once the target is already ablaze and Pyroclasm (R) bounces the burn across a grouped fight.

The build

Rune page: Deathfire Touch, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Presence of Mind and Legend: Haste (Precision). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order maxes Pillar of Flame (W) first, then Sear (Q), with Conflagration (E) third. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Blackfire Torch, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, and Liandry's Torment, with Shadowflame, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Oblivion Orb as later options.

Ability mechanics

Blaze (passive) stacks up to three times from any Brand spell and detonates in an area once maxed, dealing massive damage and refunding mana on a kill. Sear (Q) only stuns if the target is already ablaze. Conflagration (E) blasts a target and spreads to nearby enemies, doubling that spread if the target is ablaze, while Pillar of Flame (W) deals bonus damage to burning targets after a short delay. Pyroclasm (R) bounces off Brand and nearby enemies up to five times, prioritizing champions already stacking Blaze, and briefly slows anyone ablaze.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Senna, Jinx, Ashe, Caitlyn, Jhin. Best matchups: Ezreal, Kai'Sa, Tristana.
