(P) Blaze

  • Brand’s spells light his targets ablaze, dealing damage over 4 seconds, stacking up to 3 times.

(1) Sear

  • Brand launches a ball of fire forward that deals magic damage. If the target is ablaze, Sear will stun the target for 1.5 seconds.

(2) Pillar of Flame

  • After a short delay, Brand creates a Pillar of Flame at a target area, dealing magic damage to enemy units within the area. Units that are ablaze take an additional 25% damage.
