If you play Brand supp, you'll get flamed if you miss your Q stun (like any stun support missing skill shots). Don't let that tilt you. I often don't go for Q stun. A QW combo or a EW combo can do a lot of poke. And a WE can spread the blaze to set up for Q. Also, if you are not 100% W+Q, but switch it up with like Q+E, or W+E, you make it less predictable and the enemies will be less sure about when to flash. Good opponents who know Brand will flash the Q stun in a bind, and you then lose your stun.
That's a really good insight ! The more I'm playing Brand , the more I notice that about his Q . Also The duration that a target is ablaze , you can actually wait and set up for a stun , instead of immediately throwing out a Q .
As someone who plays a bit of brand I highly recommend if you get caught do what he says pop ult first then button mash and during landing phase try to avoid going for max range ws as they are easily dodged
I go pom/cdg for sustain and proccing DH. Manaflow band just doesn't feel like it offers much sustain until you max it, transcendence is probably more valuable though
I love play brand support but with tank runes... guardian, font of life, second wind, overgrowth... it Gives a little peel to the ad carry and sustain to assasin and plus still doing a lot of damage
He is best against melee supports. He sucks against long ranged champs like Cait, Senna, Xerath, etc. Shit like Yasuo and Fizz counters him because they can cancel the ult, and shit like Zac counters him because of the mobility.
I know that it is a Brand guide, but may ask, for Zyra do we buy items like for Brand? Like Liandry if we have more than 2 tanks in the enemy and the Luden in the rest of our games?
At 21:18, how does the third blaze stack get applied to the target furthest away from Brand? I only see one bounce from E and one from R. Also, can ignite apply a blaze stack?
I think it is the E proc. When the target is already ablaze, the E has double the radius of spread. So the middle dummy was already ablaze when the E hit so that spread the E to the last dummy.
hey bizzle, i can observe that my dmg numbers are higher on electrocute on brand supp and mid as well. can you discuss why exactly harvest is the better rune? im only using it in aram brand right now^^
Dark harvest scales harder than electrocute because you can proc it easier while doing less. As brand you’re not a hard engage champ like a swain so it can be more difficult to get the combo off while in lane. Additionally - I find that yellow tree as your secondary tune offers a lot more mana sustain than sorcery tree, as the cd on that is much shorter than manaflow band.
Hype!! I dont play or want to play brand but im watching anyway haha Edit: Do you do coaching vods? (I dont want one but in future maybe i would haha!)
Why not zonhya ? II bought it on second item, it very interesting to survive and deal more damage. Of course it situational, but now i prefer to buy it in second item often.
what I've noticed regarding double spellthiefe's proc: it doesn't work if you have a relentless hunter rune. Could anyone confirm this? with ultimate hunter - 2 procs, but with relentless hunter there's only one proc of spellthiefe's edge.
"you can literally press ult and just press any button"
Sounds like my kind of champion lol

Never underestimate the power of autoattacks in lane, land a W and an auto and they’re already at 80% health
I've climbed from S4 to Gold 4 in about 5 days maining Brand Sup. This video was very helpful and gave me new tips and tricks, thank you!
You make it look so easy, but I'm sure if I played Brand, I would totally feed the enemy and go straight back to Bronze :D

I’ve been playing brand with item haste since the ludens changes, I’m glad to see someone finally bring up using item haste runes to proc it more

Thank you so much, Bizzle for this insightful video! I've learned so much as a new, Brand player.
secondary i use either absolute focus or tracedance instead of mana flow . i think its much better. what u sugest
This was great and so thorough. Thanks Bizzle
Love the guide I starting playing brand all week! Any tips on what bot lane you feel good about picking brand into?
Swain, kinda hard for swain to really get you consistently+ ur poke is better (imho)
He is best against melee supports. He sucks against long ranged champs like Cait, Senna, Xerath, etc. Shit like Yasuo and Fizz counters him because they can cancel the ult, and shit like Zac counters him because of the mobility.
Legit just play Brand and you'll figure it out.

I believe the passive pop applies stacks too
I think it is the E proc. When the target is already ablaze, the E has double the radius of spread. So the middle dummy was already ablaze when the E hit so that spread the E to the last dummy.

@@sugarlips2000 makes sense. and you are right about yellow mana. its much better.
thanks for the guide man this is really helpful! brand is my fav champ atm :D
Rylias gang what up, that item is life changing
Hype!! I dont play or want to play brand but im watching anyway haha
Edit: Do you do coaching vods? (I dont want one but in future maybe i would haha!)
Nice guide! What adc/duo with brand would you opt into?
im not bizzle but i think an adc that can apply more cc would be nice to follow up brand stun, like jhin, varus, xayah, aphelios
Anyone know if ult will bounce to you if you are in stopwatch?
He adresses it in the video at 38:00. However, the ult will bounce if you stopwatch a bit later when the ball is bouncing back to you.
Oh well thank you for that and the extra info
