Brandcleaver is one of two paths an Awakened greatsword can take toward Fire. Crushing Power that drinks deep of fire and fells champions.
Infusion starts it at +7% Power, and by Spirit Level 5 it reads +29% Power, +19% Fire Damage and +13% Critical Damage.
From Spirit Level 3 the gear starts firing Trophy Hunter on its own — Killing an elite or a boss grants +45% Power for 12 s. — the same thing Trophy Hunter does from a relic.
Fire builds around Burn and the Ignite payoff.
