LoL Classic - Brand Build

Changes for Classic

• Blaze (P) explosions do not occur.

How to Play

Brand wins lane through constant poke rather than all-ins. Use W whenever your opponent goes for a minion, forcing them to choose between taking damage or missing CS. At level 2 and 3, you can begin landing Q stuns after applying Blaze, making jungle ganks and 1v1 fights much easier.

Be careful with your positioning because Brand has no mobility. Your goal is to pressure the lane, farm well, and reach level 6, where your burst damage becomes extremely difficult to survive.

Runes Explained

For Brand's runes, you should focus on Ability Power and Magic Penetration to maximize his damage throughout the game. Take Magic Penetration Marks and Ability Power Quintessences to further enhance your burst and sustained damage.

For Seals and Glyphs, prioritize defensive stats such as Armor and Magic Resist. Brand is a relatively immobile mage and is vulnerable to early ganks, so the extra resistances can help you survive the laning phase and scale into the mid and late game.

Masteries Explained

When playing Brand, you should prioritize the Offense tree, as the additional Ability Power, Magic Penetration, and bonus damage significantly increase his damage output.

These stats work exceptionally well with Brand's burn effects and become even more effective when paired with Liandry's Torment, allowing him to melt enemies over time. For your secondary tree, choose Utility, as the extra Mana Regeneration helps with your mana costs during the laning phase.
