Alright guys, Brand is extremely mana dependent and is vulnerable when his stun is on cooldown. Don't get too greedy but use your E to consistently poke down an opponent. Once you get the first items of Rod of Ages or Morellonomicon you can use your W on minions and then E to spread the burn onto particularly mobile champions. If you get ahead you can worry less about ganks, a well placed W and R will kill at least one of them. If your behind focus on killing minions without using spells so you can stay close to turret. It's alright, once you get to the team fighting phase you'll naturally do a lot of damage.

Ok, this is your bread and butter. A good teleport into a contested dragon fight will produce some great results. Beware of enemy champions that can keep you continually stunned or knocked up (you can't do anything if you die before you can even ult). If your fighting the enemy team amongst minions try to land a W before ulting, if you are fighting in the jungle or around objectives no W is needed before your ult.
