High burst
Very decent early game
High amount of AOE
On fire
Can stun
Fun to play =)
Cons:
Squishy
Vulnerable to CC
2 skill shot based skills
Hard to master
Somewhat itemreliant
Requires relatively fast fingers to combo efficently

The correct combo will be landing Combustion then Sear followed by Pillar and lastly Ulti for maximised damage
Rune Page Set up
Red Magic Pentration Marks Take out that magic resist!
Blue Ap/lvl Gylphs for that extra Ap
Yellow Mp/5 Runes if u fancy yourself a spammer during laning or u face mana problems
Quins 3 Choices Flat Ap quints for that early ap advantage
Movement Quints so taht u can zone and land skills better
Magic Pent Quints if u think u're opponents are real tanky
Summoner Spells:
Flash/Ignite/Exhuast
Skills:
lvl 1 E/W
lvl 2 Q
lvl 3 E/W depending on what u took for lvl 1 get E if u took W and vice versa
lvl 4 W
lvl 5 E
Max out W then E for maximise damage and farming capabilities
Laning:
Using W correctly allows u to zone your opponent to reduce his Farm
If clearing creep waves try to position your W to hit at least 4 of the creep wave so that u can use E to clear
Laning Phase try not to spam skills on creeps too much to prevent excessive pushing of the lane as once brand gets to lvl 5 he clears the back row of creeps easily
Items:
start with boots and 3 pots
and get a doran's ring or 2 when i back base
Get a hextech gun but dun rush for will of ancients
instead rush out Rylai's scepter so that u can land your Q easier with the slow it provides
after rylai get either zhonya or deathcap followed by finishing up your will of ancients and void staff
Clashes:
During team fights brand is a fire and forget kind of hero if u see the enemy team being bunched up together just unleash a pillar + ulti and use Sear to pick out and stun anyone that is vulnerable and finish him up with combustion
