Brand Tips and Tricks
- Brand exhibits his peak performance during the mid to late stages of the game, yet his power in the early game should not be underestimated. His remarkable clearing speed enables swift camp clears, facilitating frequent rotations into ganks.
- Effective cooldown management, mindful of Blaze lingering burn for 4 seconds, ensures consistent Blaze explosions. Avoid randomly casting spells immediately upon cooldown reset. When tackling jungle camps, initiate with Conflagration to amplify damage output with Pillar of Flame, subsequently triggering the stun and Blaze explosion with Sear.
- Brand shines in prolonged engagements, particularly when executing the optimal combo: Conflagration (or Pyroclasm), Sear, and Pillar of Flame, resulting in a stunned foe, primed to suffer the Blaze explosion and Pillar of Flame bonus damage.
- Blaze explosion deals massive damage to high-health jungle objectives such as Dragon, Herald and Baron. It's also very efficient at clearing Void Grubs.

Brand Jungle Pathing Guide
Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.
Full clear with a Red Buff start
The recommended jungle path for Brand starts on Red Buff with Sear at level one. After Red, unlock Pillar of Flame to clear the Krugs and then Raptors. This gets you level three where you take Conflagration. From there, move to Wolves, Blue Buff, and Gromp to reach level four, upgrading Pillar of Flame before contesting Rift Scuttler.
The route is focused on full clearing, giving you maximum gold while staying healthy. You can also start Blue Buff into Gromp and Wolves, then path Red side. This gives earlier access to mana regeneration but delays the fast level three from Krugs and Raptors.
For aggression, Red into Krugs and Raptors provides level three with Conflagration unlocked. This opens a quick gank on Mid after which you can continue pathing into the Blue Buff side of the jungle.
