New Liandries is pretty hilariously broken on brand, 21/9/0 going something like -

> Faerie Charm, 4 Hpot, 2Mpot, Ward
> Boots + Chalice
> Guise
> Grail
> Sorc's
> Rylai's
> Liandries
> DCap
> Voidstaff
> Distortion

Hue all the way to the bank with how stupidly high brands base damage is and the nice sidebit of tankiness you get out of the health and resists

theoretically brand should be really good thanks to passive+liandries vs health stack but you need some kind of way to avoid getting instant gibbed in fights
protect the brand wololol

Brand's passive ticks every second, so you get a Liandry's tick (for 1% of current health each time) every time. Say you E someone, it goes like this:
- E damage
- Liandry's tick
- passive tick
- Liandry's tick
- passive tick
- Liandry's tick
- passive tick
- Liandry's tick
- passive tick
- the usual 6 Liandry's ticks

So yeah, even though the way it works kinda flattens the damage (you get more ticks but they all do less because your target takes more damage anyway) you get more mileage out of Liandry's with Brand than with most mages.

Also if Liandry's ticks proc Rylai then landing an ability as Brand means a 8.5s slow. Not bad, eh?

i finnaly got good at a midlaner. its brand.

the champ can really put on a fuckton of hurt. His skillset is extremely timing and positioning sensitive (especially the ult) so I needed a ton of practice until i started to get him. Now it started to get a feeling rather than a calculation when to press R and when to do that other thing and about his positioning.

Thats the most important part of playing brand anyways. When I started him I felt like "wow this guy is really strong in lane I can bully anyone around hue" but then I got ganked a ton and I felt bad about myself. The other thing is that there are tons of mid all-in champs who can easily just go and kill him. I had to learn a ton about positioning in general and map presence. I'ts often much better to only push around the mid lane opponent for a short time and then find some gank target or gathering for an invade etc. He is kinda like better in fog than posturing in his lane at all times (some other midlaners are really good at directly drawing attention on their lane and abusing engages, brand can do that too but to a lesser extend.)

I can really advise the liandry rylai build but I usually start with either athenes (most of the time) or morellos on him. When I had to switch top to play against a shen I rushed a tear once. I just feel there needs to be at least 1 item to fill his mana. Also wards are freaking huge on brand holy moly. Like really gaining a ton of mapcontrol with just wards makes him so dominant. He is not a diana who can just roam because she wins any 1on1's and he is also not very mobile nor has he any scouting technique (except if you listen if Q hits in a brush but its not lux level of scouting) so he is extremely vulnerable without very good vision. Actually I would even say: establishing mapcontrol through warding heavily and roaming/positioning is the strongest way to play brand. Zonyas is not especially interesting on him except there is some spell you cant possibly avoid without zonyas. Deathcap voidstaff is really strong too ofc, but I feel getting items like athenes, liandrys and rylai are safer and very much worth it because of the high synergy you get. Oh and spellvamp. I tried it out only a couple times but spellvamp scales very well on brand as well, but I wouldnt put it on a high priority list. Just something to keep as an option.

how does brand ult champ priority work exactly?

If it hits someone ablaze it will bounce to a champion if one is in range?

Or it bounces to someone as a priority to someone ablaze?

Also, what type of range does the ult bounce have?

If it hits an ablaze target the next bounce will prioritise a champion (so if there's only one champion but your W hit all present minion he should still get hit by 3 bounces for example), and the wiki seems to imply that the bounces have the same 750 range but I can't be 100% sure.
