Brand

Brands are a type of skill which create persistent spells that can be attached to an enemy and periodically trigger additional spell effects, usually dealing damage.

Mechanics

Casting a brand skill places a brand on the ground where your cursor is located.

While active and detached, whenever an enemy is within attachment range, the brand will attempt to attach to that enemy, and stay attached until that enemy dies or the brand expires.

When an enemy dies while a brand is attached, the brand will return to its original position (wherever it appeared when it was first cast) or recalled position.

You can place 3 brands and have 1 brand attached to an enemy by default. Runebinder allows you to attach an additional brand to an enemy, significantly increasing your damage dealt.

Brands are not separate from your character, meaning various mechanics including leech and reflected damage will apply to you whenever they activate.

Activation Frequency

Attached brands will trigger their effects at regular intervals based on your brand activation frequency.

Action speed only affects brand placement speed, not brand activation frequency. This means that brands are not affected by any action speed modifiers, including but not limited to: Tailwind, Winterweave, The Flow Untethered, Temporal Chains, Chill, and Freeze.

Brand attachment range

Brands will attach to enemies that are within 30 units of themselves, by default. This value scales in a linear manner, meaning 40% increased brand attachment range would increase your maximum brand attachment range from 30 units to 42 units.

Brand attachment range is only affected by modifiers that explicitly state they apply to brands. Area of effect modifiers do not affect your brand attachment range.
