Exetremely OP. Got 40 kills with this build. Once you stun them they are dead. I Hope more people will try this build out. It wont disappoint you.

I agree with the runes and masteries needing tweaks. CrC runes and CrD runes would definitely improve the performance of this build, espexially early game. Having played Brand for a while, (even though they're AP builds) i've noticed that his physical attacks to serious damage. If you had a much higher crit chance, you can play a very deadly harasser early game and keep the enemy from gaining xp. This will let you farm for those boots and eventually PD. Remember, you don't start seeing ap items on Brand until at least lvl6 (save for Doran's, should they opt for this), which means Brands skills on their own are monstrous enough to let the AD in him fill the gap. This leads to lots of early kills if you play smart.

I'd recommend going PD before IE, as the CrC, MS and AS will help you harass even more and farm better too.

The build needs more survivability though. Possibilities I'd consider would be:

Heart of Gold: the health and gold/sec will help in the farming. Multiple will increase the benefit. Sell them off once you've gotten the items you're farming for.

Leviathan: Farm for gold AND health! If this build kills as many champs at a time as it says it does, you'll benefit from fast stacks, and at full, you take 15% less damage. not too shabby.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter: Big health boost, AP for extra spell damage (that they WILL feel) and the MS reduction, coupled with a stun and fast crits = bye bye fleeing champ.

Frozen Mallet: To go completely in the AD direction. More health, a relatively lower damage boost, but the same utility as Rylai's. Also good against fleeing champs.

Warmogs: an endgame item I'd say, but if you make it there, this item will really help.

Force of Nature: For when facing an AP team of course, with the same deal as the Warmog's.

Consider these, try 'em out, let us know how it goes. I won't vote on this build until I see footage of some kind though.

And really, everyone trolling on this build is obviously not aware that you can take advantage of key details in a champ's mechanics to completely surprise the enemy. I played an AD Orianna once because of her passive (increased physical damage per stack, up the 3 stacks, as long as you focus one enemy). If you use either her E or W as her first skill, you can focus down one enemy and usually kill them, also assuming you have an exhaust and maybe flash too as your summoner skills. In a 3v3 game, against pretty much anyone (even Jarvan or Mordekaiser) my team and I worked well, and I ended up picking up an opening Ace. They surrendered that game.

lol xD ?

Actually, Karthus has a much smaller AA range than even brand.

MAYBE Anivia, Annie, and Sona could get away with it because of their kits...

Not brand.

Compared to *instert any "real" ADCarry in here* a AD-Brand is weaker and not going AP is wasting his potential.

Even an AD Karthus would make more sense(his wall reduces Armor thou...)...

-1

Not gonna up or downvote, but even for an AD Brand guide, you need different runes and masteries.

Also, Anything AD Brand can do, AD Veigar can do better >:D

I look forward to the day Ya1232 get's face rolled by an AD brand :)

*sigh*

Its funny to see all the guides that are bad and make no sense, always rated high by nothing but people with 1 post that all join roughly within the same 3 month period.
Also its fun to watch that every single one has the same grammar as the author of this. The same speech patterns and what not.
Troll author with multi accounts trying to build up a bad guide.. Sigh

Is Really nice build i love it.

Wondered why I am getting downvotes without people commenting and then I did a little research and stumbled upon this on the official forums:

I'm a moderator on the site and even I think that guide is terrible. Any system with a lot of traffic and a lot of votes that aren't censored based on skill WILL have some pretty terrible guides in locations where they shouldn't be.

If it's any consolation, I downvoted, and I'm sure any decent player would. You'd be surprised how many people make alternate accounts to cumulatively +1 their own guide.

Regardless, the first place guide seems passable and most guides on the site around the 85%+ area are high quality.


Pretty disgusting if you ask me. Can I clarify I haven't created a single one of the people posting or voting for this guide?

Even from an AD standpoint, this build is bad. No defense whatsoever.
