How to play Brand in ARAM Mayhem

Brand is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #108 of 173 champions, with a 48.6% win rate over 2,891,155 games. It is also one of the most picked champions, showing up in 12% of games, so expect to see it on both sides.

93% of Brand's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down.

The AP build, ability power items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Liandry's Torment, Blackfire Torch and Rylai's Crystal Scepter, with a 48.2% win rate over 2,250,764 games. On this build 45% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Brand are Infernal Conduit, Homeguard and Giant Slayer. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability haste. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Courage of the Colossus and Pat On The Back when you can: they do worst on Brand. A pair to look for: Infernal Conduit with Homeguard.

Take Flash and Ghost (54% of players). Max W (Pillar of Flame) first, then E, then Q.
