Guide to Countering Brand as Kai'Sa

Tips for Playing as Kai'Sa against Brand

Make sure to buy items that will evolve at least 1 or 2 of your spells.

Work with your teammates to set up your Ultimate and optimize damage with your passive.

Try to catch enemy carries alone to burst them with Icathian Rain.

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.
