Brand + Glass Cannon

Why this rating

Editorial B for a conditional poke plan with a substantial health tradeoff, not a statistical ranking.

Why it works

• Conflagration spreads to nearby enemies, with greater spread when the target is ablaze. We suggest using an accessible target to reach nearby enemies without walking into their whole team.
• Glass Cannon leaves less health to absorb retaliation. Its damage reward is a reason to look for safer casts, not a promise that an engage will pay off.

How to play it

1. At 01:20, Body Those Fools considers buying health with Glass Cannon because they do not want their health bar to be too low. This is a purchase consideration, not a verified purchase or a fixed build. Buying health does not remove Glass Cannon's health cost or guarantee survival.
2. Our recommendation is to stay behind allies, check who is near the target, and use Conflagration when the spread can reach enemies. Step back if reaching the target exposes you to their engage.
3. At 20:13, after an unsuccessful engage, the creator says they need to play slower and poke. Our recommendation is to reassess the shield and enemy response before another dive. The cited moment shows the decision, not a later successful execution.

Avoid it when

• Avoid this plan if enemy range or engage denies you a casting window even from behind your frontline.
• Do not keep diving into a shield that absorbs your opening damage. Extra damage does not remove Glass Cannon’s health cost.
