Guide to Countering Brand as Jayce

Tips for Playing as Jayce against Brand

For increased range and damage, try casting Shock Blast through the Acceleration Gate.

If you find yourself taking lots of damage, try using Jayce's Hammer Stance, as it grants you additional defenses.

Be sure to switch stances often. It will enhance your attacks and grant you quick bursts of speed.

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.
