Tips Against Brand as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Kogami123 says “Early game: Slight Brand advantage thanks to his poke, but if Gragas finds a good all-in with E + R, he can force a kill or flash.
Mid-game: Gragas' advantage if well played. He can initiate or disengage effectively, preventing Brand from placing a good ulti in a teamfight.
Late-game: Brand becomes a damage machine, but Gragas remains more useful in teamfights if he controls the opponent's carries well.
Play around Brand's cooldowns: Engage when he's used his W.
Build MR quickly: Rammus Vest (which becomes Thorny Boot) or Knight's Vow can help.”
0
ShriekingMammoth says “As long as you dodge his W/Q, Brand is an easy champ to play versus. Just don't get into late game as Brand will do lots of damage at this stage of the game.”
0
Kirkwardo says “in order to stun he has to see you to E you, so by controlling the bush he is gambling with his precious mana pool when he blindly attempts to poke. No escape makes him easy prey. ”
0
Zileanaire says “Fire is dangerous. Brand is fire.
Brand = dangerous. Don't play with fire.”
0
JVS8 says “The Brand matchup is a skill matchup. Focus on his cooldowns and play around them. You can out-roam and outscale him, so the key is to play safely, avoid over-forcing fights, and wait for the right opportunities.
”

Weyko says “side step required, poke him with Q then full burst him when he's around 50% hp”
0
IGMorgane says “He outrange you but, with your plants, your poke is more consistant.
If you play with bushes you can bait his colun easily.”
1
Kalakaua says “Brand as major poke and burst, huge zoning and not a huge amount of mana issues. Very dangerous.”
1
Sh0ppe says “if he misses his Q then all in him, you have far more sustain than him as well so his poke isn't that bad. Be aware post 6 as his ult can burst you up close if your not careful.”
1
Pykings says “Immobile and useless if you dodge his stun.
Be mindful of his R once his Q is down. Try to bait out his W/Q before fighting. Don't hug waves as he can easily poke you with E.”
1
Smaugyon says “He is counterd by tier 2 boots and even more so by swiftys so respect hilm early and abuse him once you got boots. Do be carful of his damage and his ult and note that he will be much harder to bait once he gets rylai's”
1
Yoshiking123 says “Assuming it's Brand APC and NOT Brand Support: you need to go for kills Level 1/2 otherwise it becomes a nullified lane for Taric. He'll be able to out-range/poke you down burning through your mana or permanently shove/waveclear. Later on when he gets Rylai's Crystal Scepter it makes it very hard for you to get resets.”
1
Aerenax says “Brand is a matchup that is annoying to play against. He pokes you down a lot but if you manage to catch him, you have a chance to blow him up. Be patient and don’t get to low by the poke.”
1
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)”
1
JVS8 says “Very annoying in lane, but just try your best not to die as you out roam and outscale him.”
1
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.”

Mr_kodeo says “Max Hp damage is not fun, and abilities are too diffficult to avoid. ”

BigodeOfLegends says “His ability to poke with long-range abilities and deal area damage can pressure Senna, but he is equally fragile.”

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”

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.”
0
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 frequently ban 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.”
0
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.”

Foxirion says “Brand's high area of effect damage and crowd control abilities can pose a major threat to Rakan and his team. Rakan needs to be cautious when engaging around Brand to avoid getting caught in his abilities and burst down quickly.”

Velkyann says “Extreme poke, infinite burn after the first item, and burst potential. Only use your W if you and your ADC/team take damage. You can counter his burst if you use your ult after his, Tear is recommended if you need more mana.”

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.”

JezebelleXX says “He outdamages you but his stun is unreliable, and you are much faster than him. Click W when you are not taking his AoE passive mark, as Miss Fortune's W maintains its extra speed through DoT.”

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”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.”

Doglightning says “take barrier. Lvl 1 trade aggro but once he hits 2 with stun you have to play safe just looking for sneaky bubbles. Once you hit 6 you can play aggro again hitting poke that will chunk him badly. ”

Aerenax says “Brand is a matchup that I call a big yikes. The champion is obnoxious to play against and deals tons of damage. In this lane you have to avoid his W and play around his passive, otherwise it’s doomed.”

eiensiei says “He mostly pokes with W, which has a big cast time and is easy to dodge. If he uses anything on you, avoid his Q at all costs. Relic match-up.”
0
LimTheDestructor says “You usually should engage on Brand. While engaging on Brand lane, you have to beware of 1 thing: getting hit by W/E/R and then by Q - so you have to kite to make his Q miss. After level 6, fight nearby your minions to prevent Brand R bouncing between you and your adc.”

warmfishu says “High damage and a stun that will reset your W. His passive and Pyroclasm (R) will destroy you in short time if you aren't careful.”

iKonek says “He's a mid-lane support with no escape. Punish him whenever possible, but make sure to respect the damage he can do, because that's going to make punishing him very hard.”

Rasta Da Masta says “You out range most of his kit. Try to poke him down, but don't try to fight an even-health 2v2 without first poking him down since he is likely to win it with a full combo.”

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.”
0
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.”

Arcurath says “As long as you can dodge his spells with E speed you are fine.
He usually forces waves to push into you from aoe, so he is easy to gank just E double bomb and he dead.”

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”

Xexzuz says “Literally just dodge his abilities and you're fine. Oh right his E takes up the whole lane now so just power farm and get jung to gank because they usually over push.”

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”

Idleangelo says “"Support btw". Yeah, same with xerath, getting hit by his stun while trading will most likely kill you.”

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.”

Spection says “His range is high and his burst is absurd. Rush boots of speed and abuse his low mobility to hit him with Q's. Pretty squishy if he overextends, but a full combo will take you down to half health at any stage of the game.”

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. You're also unlikely to be able to defeat him in a skirmish. However, in team fights you will have a significant advantage against him because you only need to stop his casting for a short amount of time if your allies are ready for it.”

GregStein says “Rush boots to dodge brand combo or skills easily. Wait for brand to land or miss his W then Q him or the adc to trigger aftershock and tank all the damage. Also Flash + W is a great way to annihilate brand before he can use any ability or R your team mates.”

knif says “Even though it's kind of ironic that fire beats water here, Brand's damage is scary if he hits you with even one of his abilities, so try to dodge them and go for smaller trades and poke damage. When he ults, try to not bounce it to your ADC and keep your distance to keep the damage from stacking.”
0
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.”

Esoterica says “Brand has effective AOE and huge threat with the stun. He can easily get you killed even when you play around his ranges.
Bait out the pillar for your ADC. When you are hit by W or E, avoid the follow-up Sear by sidestepping.
Do NOT jump him in a straight line, as he will Sear and you will simply blink backwards into its trajectory.”

Mr Jamba Juice says “DShard: MR; Brand is another matchup that used to be hell (pun intended) but has been watered down (ALSO pun intended :3) by Glacial Augment. Brand's CC is harder to hit than Zyra's and he has no escape tools. However, if he makes you his bitch, it'll be hard to get out of that scenario due to his high-burst combos. Try ”

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.”

If brand is a big or the biggest issue for your team you should consider taking [[locket of the iron solari]].”

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.”

LilRidge says “Keep your distance from Brand and your own ADC as his poke hurts. side-stepping his (W) Pillar of Flame is key as it will mitigate most of his damage. If any of his abilities hits your ADC, you will want to absorb the follow-up (Q) Sear, if it is not already down. As letting your ADC get CC'd by him almost always means certain death.”

Starchase says “Never detach your ADC no matter what, he will combo you and kill you.
Heal all the poke damage as much as you can with your E.

Care at lvl 6, YOU DON'T WIN ALL IN, DON'T TRY UNLESS HE MISSES Q AND W.
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.

Jexeff says “Another poke matchup. As long as you can avoid his abilities you will be okay. If you can get on top of him with either a well placed hook, or flash flay, you will be able to snag a kill on him. Just be mindful of using your hook while his abilities are still up because then you become an easy stun target. ”

Wounds2 says “Brand is difficult to play against as Rakan throughout the game. In laning phase, he harasses you out of lane. In teamfights, his ult punishes you if you decide to shield your teammates. It is important to find a window to kill him before starts to slowly make your life miserable.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

thesophieset says “Similar to Lux, but with even more damage. What makes this an easier matchup though is that he has to hit his E > Q or W > Q combo to CC you, which you can dodge a little easier than a Lux snare. Run Magic Resist shards and build an early Crucible into Spirit Visage to offset his burst damage and you will end up outhealing him. In teamfights, make sure to ult when he does if you get the chance to mitigate his %HP passive damage.”

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.”

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.”

Haezard01 says “You can burst him out earlier on, but you have to play around his W so he doesn't get a lead. You have to make sure he doesn't get any form of gold early on because he outscales you with his AP scaling and Dark Harvest stacks.”

ZAZO says “He can either crush your ADC and you, or feed you both. Dodging his Q is crucial. Try staying out of his passive`s AoE if possible.”

Xavier Senori says “Playing against Brand early game is a skill matchup. If he lands his stun on you, hes going to put out the hurt. However, with the MS you get from your Q, you should be moving fast enough to dodge most of his skillshots, while still getting in some harass. You will heavily outscale him late game.”
0
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.”

SuddenAlpaca says “Disgusting damage, but if you have mobility to dodge his stun combo.”

TeflonAmetkus says “Be careful when approaching a brand, he may seem squishy but can burst you down in a second if he stuns you. Always silence when trying to Q.”

Enrik says “Mesma coisa da Nami, a diferença é que o Brand não se cura, mas tem um poke muito mais forte. Você pode tentar baitar algumas de suas skills e pokear depois, mas cuidado, se você der um vacilo no posicionamento, provavelmente ele vai cobrar.”

Saethwyr says “If you dont know how to specifically play against brand, hes a special, horrible hell worse than any support. the best tip i can give is that after the first one or two Pillars, you learn how the brand player casts it and you can learn how to dodge it. if he casts it directly on you or behind you, keep walking straight, dont stop or hesitate. if he casts it in front of you, immediately backtrack.”

thelolgamer123 says “your ability to engage doesn't exist against brand, because of his damage. he is going to make some really anoying trades in early game. try to avoid his skillshots, and don't go aggressive.”

Better Call Phil says “Dodge his abilities as much as possible. Rush level 2 and all-in him to BURN his summs. NEVER E towards him if he has a stack on you and his Q is up. He will kill you.
Otherwise, easy matchup, squishy champion.

The Jhin Cena says “His stun can be a bit gross but he can be outplayed pretty easily. 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.”

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.”

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”

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. ”

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.”

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. ”

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.”

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
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!”

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.”

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.”

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?”

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. ”

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.
