Zombie Brand

Been maining Brand for three seasons now with over 500k mastery points, and Zombie Brand has been my go-to skin since day one. While everyone's hyped about Spirit Fire Brand, I'm here to tell you why this 1820 RP skin is actually the sleeper pick for serious Brand players.

The Q feels way cleaner on Zombie compared to base skin, especially when you're trying to stun someone through minions. But what really sets it apart is the W animation, which has this green flame effect that's somehow easier to track in teamfights than the orange flames on Classic or even Arclight. I've won so many dragon fights because enemies underestimate the W damage radius since the green flames look smaller than they actually are. And the passive burn effect? That shambling walk animation when enemies are burning is probably the most tilting thing for opponents, making them panic flash more often.

My experience with Zombie Brand compared to other Brand skins shows it's purely cosmetic advantage-wise, but the mental diff it creates is real. The ult bounces feel more responsive than Battle Boss, though that might just be the sound effects making it seem faster. After 150+ games this season, I'd pick Zombie over my Arclight or Spirit Fire skins any day. The recall animation where he rises from the grave is perfect for BM after you just deleted their ADC.

Is Zombie Brand worth it? For Brand mains who want something different from the flashy legendary skins, absolutely. The skin aged incredibly well for something from 2012, and at 1820 RP it's better value than most epic skins released nowadays. Just wait for Your Shop if you're not in a rush.
