Swiftbrand Support Guide

Swiftbrand support greatly reduces the active and inactive duration of a Brand, but increases its activation rate. For a brand that is launched only once, it is not as good as other support. However, if you place multiple Brands quickly, it is a huge damage increase. With this support, you can play a more aggressive Brand playstyle.

It can also be detonated quickly with Penance Brand, or it can be used with Armageddon Brand to make full use of its short cast time.
