§ 07b — Advanced MechanicsBrand: combos & tips Wild Rift

Standard combo (2 Blaze stacks)

Apply Blaze with W (+30% damage), guaranteed stun with Q on a target with Blaze, then E for the 3rd stack and the detonation.

Maximum burst combo

E first to apply a mark (1 stack), W for +30% damage (2 stacks), Q for a stun and the third stack → explosive detonation.

Teamfight combo

R bounces between enemies for multiple stacks, then E, W, Q for a stun and detonation.

Poke combo

Place Pillar of Flame then Sear — if Q hits an Ablaze target, a stun is guaranteed from long range.

Mechanical Tips

Blaze (passive): 3 stacks on a champion = detonation dealing 10% of maximum HP to all nearby enemies after 2 seconds. Always aim for the 3rd stack in a fight.
Sear (Q) conditional stun: stuns only if the target is already Ablaze — never cast Q as your first spell; always cast it after W or E.
Pillar of Flame (W) +30% damage: bonus triggered on targets marked with Blaze — use E or auto-attacks to apply Blaze before W.
Pyroclasm (R) bounces: bounces between nearby enemies — position yourself in teamfights so that R hits as many targets as possible and triggers multiple Blaze stacks.
Conflagration (E) on allies: E spreads Blaze from an Ablaze enemy to nearby enemies — useful for stacking in teamfights.

Common Mistakes

Cast Q first when the target is not Ablaze — Q without a stun, low damage.
Do not wait for the Blaze detonation before recasting — the detonation takes 2 seconds, so do not flee the area.
Use R on an isolated target — R must bounce to achieve maximum effectiveness; use it in teamfights.

Notable Interactions

Pyroclasm slows targets affected by Ablaze on impact.
Conflagration spreads Blaze to enemies around the target — useful in teamfights for setting up multiple stuns.
Brand is often played as a support thanks to his CC kit and his AoE damage, which keeps enemies away from the carry.
