No more Locus of Power for Xerath already :p You might wanna change it though at that match-ups section :p

The Masteries Section's Mastery Picture, you might wanna change it to Season 4 Mastery though :p

How'd you think of Cleanse on Brand though? He could be dead if he get CC'ed by the enemies.

Nice post.
I got one question.
Why is my masteries icons different from yours?
thank you.

Epic guide, first time Brand: 30/12/13. Thank you, bud ^^

Very good and well designed guide. I've been using this build since my first ranked game and I have a win/lose of 13/2 with Brand (Only silver 3).The only think I don't follow is the leveling build since I think maxing Conflagration is better, you get lower cd which mean more easy to land stuns.

since I dont know how to post photos on this site yet

I don't play Brand yet, but he looks like a pretty cool champion to me (don't take that "cool" lterally). I like that you dont underestimate LeBlanc; I play her myself and at times she can be really dangerous (but beware Kassadin, he counters every mage). And also besides that this is a good guide.

Do people really not have mana trouble if they go this build? Like I play a lot of Brand and I cannot fathom never getting a chalice, especially early game. I don't even spam a lot but brand's passive is best utilized if you are hitting them with spells a lot and you can't do that if you don't have a chalice, also his wave clear is dependent on using his W which costs a lot of mana and you will go OOM so fast without a chalice.

I usually just swap athene's for rylies but other than that I use this build, super solid. :)

I did some math and I find it's generally better to get void staff before rabadon's deathcap. This is especially due to the rng on his ult and the fact that only pure squishies adc/support would rabadon win against. Usually top/jungler will have 100+ mr, mid will get a mr item if you are a problem to them. Only the adc/support doesn't have that much itemlization choices and even then they would still get free 20 mr from locket that's very common on junglers. You can't exactly save your ult until the tanky initiators die because you might die in the process so most of your skills are bound to hit tanks/bruisers/single mr item mids and the other advantage of it is also that the price for it is cheap.

just out of curiosity why not something that also has spell vamp? wouldnt that return a fair deal of health to brand?

Badass guide. Got an upvote from me. I've done very well with this build.

I have a question. Why would you level pillar of flame so hardcore before conl***ration, and why in the world would you level sear over conflagration? Conflagration is an instant, unmissable hit, and does almost as much damage as pillar does. If anything level them equally and leave sear until the very end. If Brand scales late game as you say in your guide, why then would you level a stun over and insta-hit? By the time I get to leveling sear, the game is generally over because brand becomes an animal with hitting conflagration ever single time as a main form of harass (especially if you set them on fire first). Then you only need one skill shot to land and you have your entire kit on them. Having that huge delay (which for good players pillar has a huge delay) on pillar doesn't seem like a lot but to a good player dodging it isn't that difficult. I love how in depth the guide is but doubling up on especially insta damage only makes sense in my opinion. Conflagration also jumps to other people doing even more damage, and making farming insanely easier. I'd love to hear what you have to say on this AWESOME burst champ, thanks for the guide. (:
