Light em up, burn them down! Brand support guide

Learn how to poke, stun, burn and decimate your enemy playing as one of the highest DPS champions in the game.

Pros

Has good poke and damage
His damage is max health damage for the most part, so he doesn't need many items to be relevant
Has a 1.5 stun
Incredible teamfight potential
THIS GUY IS ON FIREEEEEEE

Cons

Very squishy with low base armor and magic resist
Has no mobility - easily gankable
Has no shields and heals as a support, making him a pure damage support.
His ult is bad against single targets
Probably has a hard time peeing XD

Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Getting Boots of Speed early will allow you to get in and out of poke range easily, and also avoid getting jumped on and helping your jungler if needed early in the game. I would rush my first boots right away, taking Ionian Boots of Lucidity paired with Redeeming Enchant . You can be more diverse in terms of boots items, I just really REALLY love redemption :)

Your probably wondering why I'm not including Sapphire Crystal as a first item and why Tear of the Goddess are nowhere to be seen. This is because we will be combining the bonus mana from Manaflow Band and Luden's Echo to give us a good amount of mana without having to rely on getting a tear. Once the two are fully stacked, you should have 600 bonus mana, which is more then enough to sustain you, as long as you don't throw your skills non-stop like a dumbo.

The next two items which are Liandry's Torment and Rylai's Crystal Scepter . The first is taken because the burn-over time from [brand:passive] will keep triggering it, while the magic damage from every one of Brand 's skills will turn the enemy team into burning turtles who can't move an inch.

With the two remaining slots that you have, your free to make your own judgement. Take Morellonomicon to counter heals, Void Staff for tanks and Rabadon's Deathcap for lots of damage.

Keystone

Electrocute

Domination

Weakness

Resolve

Bone Plating

Inspiration

Manaflow Band

Triggering Electrocute with brand is very simple, and it will do a lot of damage during all stages of the game. Taking Weakness combined with the slows or stuns that brand can inflict will turn the enemy team to a weakness fiesta for your own. Bone Plating can save your life in a pinch, and Manaflow Band will provide you with mana without having to rely on mana items.

Summoner Spells

When to take which summoners

Flash

Your a clever cookie - take it no matter what.

Ignite

If you manage to pull a good burst combo, this spell can work to finish off the job.

Exhaust

Good for all-in champions who are nothing without their precious ult.

Heal

For more on the supportive side, this spell is also good especially during laning phase.

Combos

2nd

1st

3rd

The basic poke-stun-burst combo. Can be used easily on lane.

2nd

Ult

3rd

During a teamfight, this will be your all in combo. Try to set as many enemies ablaze with Pillar Of Flame , then follow up with Pyroclasm for the extra slow and faster stacks, and use Conflagration to finish the job, as ablazed enemies will increase its radius.
