Brand General information

Brand tips and tricks

Try and poke as often as you can with your Pillar of FlameW, but make sure to keep an eye on your mana pool.

In team fights, try to cast your Ultimate PyroclasmR when the enemy is bunched together so it can bounce between multiple champions and deal more damage.

A good time to use your Pillar of FlameW is when the enemy is inside the minion wave. This will allow you to push and poke the enemy at the same time.
