Whats up guys, The Half Scrub here with a guide on Brand. Make sure to check the end for links on other builds I would recommend for this great champ. In all honesty, Brand is an excellent mid laner to pick up and try, as he has high damage over time and the ability to dish out tons of damage in close quarters, from a range, and during team fights. Make sure to try him out while he is still free!

My runes are meant to establish a slight early game advantage, but mainly to help me scale into late game. You can substitute 1 or 2 Movement speed Quints, but that is optional in my opinion.

For Summoner Spells, I use Flash and Ignite just for more potential burst. Ignite and my passive together do a rather large portion of my enemies health, especially when low. I feel like Barrier, Ghost, and Cleanse are also viable as well, but should only be used by an experienced Brand player.

All in all, there is much that could be brought to notice for Brand items and Guide tips, but honestly, I feel like it is more towards the player to learn how to properly use a build or to create your own. This is just one build of many.
