How to beat Brand

Common role: Mid / Support

A burst mage who chains stuns and ablaze passives to melt health bars.

What makes Brand dangerous

Brand stuns you if you are already ablaze (Q after another ability), blasts an AoE (W) that hits harder on burning targets, and spreads his passive between nearby enemies for a detonation. His ultimate bounces between clustered enemies, ramping his passive and chunking a whole grouped team.

How to play against Brand

• 1Don't clump — his ult and passive bounce and spread between nearby enemies.
• 2Dodge his W or the Q stun; his combo needs the ablaze setup to lock you.
• 3He is immobile with no escape — dive or engage on him.
• 4Stack magic resist and health to survive his burst window.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Completely immobile — no dash or escape.
• ✓His stun requires an ablaze setup — dodge the first proc.
• ✓Ult and passive fizzle if enemies are spread out.
• ✓Squishy; a dive shuts him down.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Brand's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  불길

  브랜드의 스킬이 적을 불길로 휘감아, 4초 동안 피해를 줍니다. 불길은 세 번까지 중첩되며, 적이 불타는 동안 브랜드가 적을 처치하면 마나를 회복합니다. 챔피언이나 대형 몬스터에 불길이 세 번 중첩되면 불안정해져 2초 후 폭발하고, 근처 적에게 스킬 효과를 적용하며 막대한 피해를 입힙니다.

  Strong: his burn ticks and, when maxed, detonates for a big AoE hit. Weak: it spreads between nearby enemies — don't stand next to allies.

• Q
  불태우기

  브랜드가 불덩이를 발사하여 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 대상이 불타는 상태라면, 불태우기에 맞은 대상은 기절합니다.

  Strong: stuns you if you're already ablaze, locking his combo. Weak: no ablaze, no stun — dodge the first proc and it's just a skillshot.

• W
  화염 기둥

  잠시 후 목표 지점에 화염 기둥을 생성하여 해당 지역에 있는 적 유닛에게 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 불이 붙은 적은 25%의 추가 피해를 받습니다.

  Strong: a big AoE that hits harder on burning targets. Weak: a delayed circle — step out of it before it lands.

• E
  발화

  브랜드가 목표에 강력한 폭발을 일으켜 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 폭발은 주변 적들에게 퍼집니다. 대상이 불타는 상태라면 발화의 전파 범위가 두 배가 됩니다.

  Strong: spreads his passive and adds burst between clustered enemies. Weak: single-target if you're alone — spacing limits the spread.

• R
  파멸의 불덩이

  브랜드가 파괴적인 화염을 발사합니다. 화염은 브랜드와 주변 적들에게 최대 5번 튕기며, 튕길 때마다 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 화염은 불길 중첩이 적은 챔피언에게 우선적으로 튕깁니다. 불타고 있는 적이 파멸의 불덩이를 맞으면 잠깐 동안 이동 속도가 느려집니다.

  Strong: bounces between grouped enemies, ramping his passive across the team. Weak: it fizzles if enemies are spread — don't clump.

Itemization

Spread against his bouncing ult; magic resist and health survive the burst. Dive his immobile frame and dodge the ablaze setup to deny the stun.
