• Passive (Blaze): Abilities apply a burn effect. Three ability hits trigger an explosion
• Q (Sear): Skillshot that stuns if target is ablaze
• W (Pillar of Flame): AoE damage circle with delayed activation
• E (Conflagration): Target ability that spreads to nearby units
• R (Pyroclasm): Bouncing fireball that prioritizes champions

Skill Priority: W > Q > E > R Max W first for reliable poke and waveclear. Q second for increased stun duration.

Playstyle Tips:

1. Use W to safely proc support item and poke
2. Land Q stun by applying passive first with W or E
3. Save R for teamfights to maximize bounce potential
4. Position safely - Brand lacks mobility
5. Coordinate CC with your ADC for kill pressure

• Primary (Sorcery): Arcane Comet, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, Scorch
• Secondary (Inspiration): Perfect Timing, Cosmic Insight
