Brand is great for team fights and solo fights in general. In solo fights as long as they are not faster than you are which if you use the sorcerer's shoes shouldn't end up being too many champions. Brand does not, however, jungle well so don't try it. With this guide you will be able to pull off kills quite frequently and become a massive help to your team.

Ignite is a great spell for Brand as if the enemy has a lot of health then you can use ignite to finish them off. Teleport allows you to recall to recover health and mana as well as buy items then you can teleport back to continue a push. Teleport also allows you to provide instant support should a place need it and you are too far away to run.

This is an offensive build which allows quick kills of people. Sorcerer's shoes are obvious as you can bypass some magic defense and all of the rest of the items give you +ability power. Now depending on how you personally play brand dictates which item you buy first. IF you prefer super short cooldown times, then prioritize Luden's Echo, Lich Bane, Banshee's Veil, Twin Shadows, and Zhona's Hourglass. Armor? Then Zhona's Hourglass, Banshee's Veil, and the Moonflair Spellblade. The Morellonomicon is great since you can inflict "grievous wounds" for 3 seconds on enemies with your magic damage. It also gives you 300 health giving you more survivavility in a fight and an aditional 15 magic penetration. Lich Bane all around is good as it provides +250 mana 10% cooldown reduction and 7% movemend speed. On top of the 80 ability power it gives it also after using an ability buffs your next basic attack. Rylai's Crystal Scepter makes chasing significantly easier as spell damage will slow the target for 20% movement speed. Luden's Echo gives a total of 20% cooldown reduction which is amazing since thats worth 2 cooldown reduction items as most only give you 10% cooldown reduction,it also gives you 500 mana, Luden's Echo also allows you to store charges that when you get 100 your next spell hit is buffed. Those are just the base items, the rest of the items can be pretty open ended.

The easiest way to get kills 1 on 1 is to pillar of flame the enemy the use sear to stun them followed up by conflagration. This will usualy kill them or almost kill them. Having Luden's Echo and other cooldown reducting items are extremly useful in 1v1s as then you can use your abilities faster. Now in team fights the 3 steps sometimes turns into 4 as pyroclasm is no useful. Suggested combination is pillar of flame once more conflagration and then pyroclasm with sear at the end to finish off any stragglers. Pillar of flame is a good AOE attack that does a lot of damage then conflaguration will damage all of those that had just been set ablaze with pillar of flame. Next pyroclasm will do a large chunk of damage as it bounces between the enemy champions dealing up to 300 damage +35% of your total ability power, pyroclasm can bounce 4 times total for 5 total hits only being able to hit the same champion 3 times. Those that were set ablaze by your pillar of flame that are hit by this will get slowed as well. Then most of the enemies should be low and they will probably try to run which is where sear comes in so that you can snipe them since they probably got slowed. If you land your sear then they will be stunned allows you to catch up and finish them off.

Brand is very susceptible to ganking if you are not carefull. Try to keep track of all enemy champion with your map so you know if one is missing. Ganking with Brand is fine as long as you are not ambushed in the process. Warwick is a serious problem as if you get below half health blood hunt will activate giving him bonus speed to you. Even in tower range it is easy for him to get in and out with only one shot from the tower on him.
