Tips for Playing as Corki against Brand

Valkyrie can be used defensively as well, so try using it for a quick escape.

Phosphorus Bomb can be used to reveal enemy units that might be hiding in a nearby patch of brush.

Advice to Win Against Brand

Brand's passive allows him to excel against teams that cluster together. Be sure to split up against him.

Brand must land an ability before his combo is able to get started. Dodging his Sear or Pillar of Flame will disrupt his rhythm.

Try to move away from allies when you see Pyroclasm being cast. The initial missile speed is slow, which should give your team time to react.
