Brand Support guide

Brand support runs the same core combo from lane: Pillar of Flame (W) or Conflagration (E) to start Blaze (passive) stacking, then Sear (Q) to stun once the target is ablaze, with Pyroclasm (R) bouncing between grouped enemies to detonate the burn in a teamfight.

The build

Rune page: Deathfire Touch, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Presence of Mind and Cut Down (Precision). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order maxes Pillar of Flame (W) first, then Sear (Q), with Conflagration (E) third. Starter: two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment, and Morellonomicon, with Zaz'Zak's Realmspike, Blackfire Torch, and Oblivion Orb as later options.

Ability mechanics

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

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Lulu, Senna, Seraphine, Lux, Nami. Best matchups: Nautilus, Karma, Thresh.
