Brand Champion Guide

Role: Mage

Lane: Jungle

Brand Jungle performs best with the core build of Liandry's Torment, Sorcerer's Shoes, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Void Staff. The most popular rune setup for Brand Jungle includes Dark Harvest, Taste of Blood, Grisly Mementos, and Ultimate Hunter in the primary tree, paired with Coup de Grace and Presence of Mind in the secondary tree.

Brand Champion Abilities

Blaze

Brand's abilities light his targets Ablaze, dealing 2% of the target's max health as magic damage over 3.25 seconds. If Brand kills a unit that is Ablaze, he regains 20-40 mana (depending on level). Blaze can stack up to 3 times.

When a champion or large jungler monster reaches 3 stacks, the Blaze will detonate after 2 seconds, dealing 8-12% of the target's max health (+2% per 100 ability power) as magic damage to surrounding enemies (depending on level). P

Sear

Brand launches a fireball that deals 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 / 190 (+65% of ability power) magic damage to the first enemy hit.

If the target is Ablaze, they will be stunned for 1.5 seconds. Q

Pillar of Flame

Brand creates a pillar of pure fire, dealing 75 / 120 / 165 / 210 / 255 (+60% of ability power) magic damage.

Units that are Ablaze take 93.75 / 150 / 206.25 / 262.5 / 318.75 (+75% of ability power) magic damage instead. W

Conflagration

Brand conjures a powerful blast at his target, dealing 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to surrounding units. If the target is ablaze, the spread range is doubled. E

Pyroclasm

Brand unleashes a devastating torrent of fire that can bounce to Brand or another enemy up to 5 times, dealing 100 / 175 / 250 (+25% of ability power) magic damage to enemies each bounce. Bounces prioritize stacking Blaze to max on champions.

If the target is Ablaze, they are briefly slowed by 30 / 45 / 60%. R

Brand Tips and Tricks

Get as close to the enemy laner as possible before using Q. The further away you cast it, the harder it is to land. In team fights, use R when enemies are grouped together so it can bounce between multiple champions for maximum damage. Try to delay fights while poking with W to weaken enemies before engaging.

Best Brand Builds, Runes, and Items for Jungle

Most Popular

For the most common Brand Jungle build, take Flash and Smite as Summoner Spells. Dark Harvest is the preferred keystone, followed by Taste of Blood, Grisly Mementos, and Ultimate Hunter in the primary tree, with Coup de Grace and Presence of Mind in the secondary tree. Adaptive Force is ideal for both offense and flex shards, with Health Scaling for defense. The core items include Liandry's Torment first, Sorcerer's Shoes second, and Rylai's Crystal Scepter third. The final three items are Zhonya's Hourglass, Void Staff, and Shadowflame. Skill order should prioritize W first, followed by Q, then E.

Optional

An alternative Brand Jungle setup also runs Flash and Smite. The rune choices remain Dark Harvest, Taste of Blood, Grisly Mementos, and Ultimate Hunter in the primary tree, with Coup de Grace and Presence of Mind in the secondary tree. Adaptive Force works best for offense and flex shards, with Health Scaling in defense. The first item to build is Blackfire Torch, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes, then Liandry's Torment. Completing the build, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Cryptbloom round out the item path. Ability maxing order stays W first, then Q, then E.

Alternative

Another option for Brand Jungle utilizes Flash and Smite. This build shifts to Arcane Comet as the keystone, with Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Waterwalking in the primary tree, while Legend: Haste and Cut Down are taken in the secondary tree. The best rune shards are Ability Haste for offense, Adaptive Force for flex, and Health Scaling for defense. The item build starts with Liandry's Torment, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes, and Rylai's Crystal Scepter as the third item. The last three items to build are Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Void Staff. The skill order remains W first, then Q, then E.

Off-Meta

For a different take on Brand Jungle, run Flash and Smite. This build uses Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Cut Down in the primary rune tree, with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight in the secondary tree. Ability Haste is the best shard for offense, with Adaptive Force in flex and Health Scaling in defense. Start with Liandry's Torment as the first item, upgrade Sorcerer's Shoes next, and pick up Rylai's Crystal Scepter as the third item. To finish the build, complete Zhonya's Hourglass, Shadowflame, and Bloodletter's Curse. Stick to W first, then Q, then E for ability maxing.

Situational Brand Runes and Items

Depending on matchups and team compositions, adjusting runes and items may be necessary. Consider Armor or Magic Resist in rune shards if the enemy laner deals primarily physical or magic damage. Items should also be adapted based on the game state, such as building defensive options against heavy burst threats or prioritizing penetration items against tankier opponents.
