Blaze

Tips :
Targets touched by Brand's spell burst into flames!The passive that inflicts important damage every second!
This is a passive that does a lot of magic damage over time that is just as good in the lane phase as in teamfights.If your target has little magic resistance it will take huge damages.
The effects of Brand's spell are modified on targets affected by his passive.
The passive does not stack, its duration is not reset.
The damage depends on the maximum HP, in the meta game with 4000 HP that does quite a bit of damage! 8% of the max HP, or 320 magic damage over 4 seconds.
The passive applies Rylai's slow at 15% as DoT which lasts 1.5 seconds after the last tick!
Sear (Q)
(Active): Brand launches a fireball forward that deals magic damage to the first enemy it hits. If the target is ablaze, the target will be stunned for 2 seconds.
Tips :
Brand sends a fireball in the targeted direction.Brand's stun, his control spell
A difficult stun to place.
This spell is difficult to master because the target must be ablaze first before you can stun him, but it gives you an excellent control.It is harder to place your Q when your target takes a control from one of your allies or after the proc of Rylai's slow!! Make sure that your target is under the effect of the passive to stun it.
In the lane phase it is difficult to apply it in 1 v 1 in the early if you jungler doesn't come to gank, because your opponent might hide behind the sbires who will block the spell.
This spell could save your life if you are being chased.
It is possible to do Q, then do your E while the spell is moving to apply the impact of the Q and stun. We often follow up with the rest of the W + R + ignite combo before making a kill, if possible.

If a target is ablaze, Pyroclasm's next bounce will prioritize champions. It will bounce up to four times for a total of five hits, and can hit the same enemy up to three times.
Tips :
Brand' ultimate which bounces between targets.The ultimate to frighten you opponents if they are only two together
The flipper
It is a powerful spell, particularly when two isolated opponents are close to each other to be able to bounce the ultimate between the two of them. The ultimate can therefore be very efficient against ganks if you use it at the right moment.The first target touched by the spell can potentially be hit by more bounces than the others, up to 3. Each bounce reactivates the length of the passive.
Be careful as the first target hit by your ultimate can use its flash before impact to isolate himself and prevent the ultimate from bouncing.
Also note that if you cast this spell against a Banshee's Veil the ultimate will be completely absorbed, the same goes for champions like Nocturne or Sivir who have shields against spells!
The ultimate will bounce between your opponents once it has been cast even if you do not have vision!
