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.” After Level 6 try to position away from your ADC and Stand Behind Me to them if they get engaged on. 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. 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. When Brand lands a Pillar of Flame onto an enemy he usually walks up and tries to lane a Sear to proc the stun. Only poke when you know you can land the damage though because Winter's Bite eats up a lot of mana. 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. 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.

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 also has insanely strong teamfighting due to the AOE damage from his 3rd stack of Blaze, Pillar of Flame and Pyroclasm.

Brand is a AP poke mage that is great at dealing burst damage to high HP targets with his Blaze passive. Guoblide says “Brand is a horrible matchup for Braum due to his massive %Max Hp damage and his AOE spells. Buildwise you can opt into Redemption to mitigate his ult damage if needed. Taking MR in the rune shards also helps massively. This will help yourself sustain and allows you to play healbot for your carry if they turn out to be a skillshot magnet. 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. Also, one landed bubble usually spells death for him. Look for trades when his W is down or he used it on your carry. Spread from your teammates (and Brand since his ult can also bounce off of him) to avoid the damage. He doesn't even need to hit anything to almost oneshot you if he gets multiple ult bounces off of you. Just back off if you got hit so he cannot trigger the stun or his passive for huge burst or a potential kill.Īt level 6 you have to respect his burst, even if the Brand were to be 0/5. The main thing here is to tether around his W range (900) and bait it without getting hit.īrand relies on landing a spell before he can look to stun you with his Q which can also be blocked by minions. An immobile glass cannon with crazy damage but very little utility.
