Tahm is good with a lot of health and, against a Brand, MR is your friend. Banshees Veil is a good buy against Brand for the passive shield. Locket will also give you to MR and an active shield to defend with. I'm also assuming you're starting with Relic Shield as your gold item, so upgrade that into Face of the Mountain for more shielding. Do not forget to use these actives. If their team has other mages aside from Brand also grab a Spirit Visage. I would highly recommend switching your keystone to Stoneborn Pact, and when it procs ping the opponent for the ADC to attack so you can make the most of it. Hide behind minions when you can to avoid the stun and dodge his W the best you can. There's not much you can do about the burn. Try to keep your team from clustering together, it makes his ult devastating. Like some others have already said, Tahm is not a great matchup against Brand. This is mostly because of his passive which (according to the LoL site) deals 2% of max health damage for 4 seconds and is super difficult to avoid especially with his E being a point and click.
Personally, I avoid playing tanks against Brand. My most successes playing against him have been with Nami.
I did switch to stoneborn pact but its pretty useless...after a
dashed towards my
I slowed him with tongue lash and applied stoneborn but
didnt auto attack
back...even when I pinged and typed in chat... instead she hits the enemy minions and rarely hits
on accident with her arrow volley spell multi target spread thingy...
Maybe when adcs learn how stoneborn pact works or atleast learn how to retaliate during a trade...then it will be decent.
And yes I have been getting locket whenever I see brand on the enemy team....sometimes paired with merc treads depending on the rest of the comp..but it feels like he really out damages the active even when timed right...plus his cooldowns feel very low.......
And banshees veil feels pretty selfish on a tahm support.. i tried it and it doesnt really help since you have no mobility burst damage or hard burst cc (strong/hard cc that can be landed instantly...) so there really is no reason to tank a single spell that could have been an aoe..its not like tahm kench is an important target.....and his potential to do any form of his single target hard cc requires a long fight...one that banshees does not support ... but merc treads sorta does..
