How to play Braum
Braum is a tank support champion. He excels at staying back and protecting the team with his heavy crowd control. Unbreakable can blocks all incoming abilities and auto-attacks and Stand Behind Me gives an ally and yourself bonus resistances. Braum is really good at all stages of the game because of his defensive abilities and safe kit which allows him to survive and help the team.
Braum's Abilities
Concussive Blows (Passive)
Braum's attacks apply Concussive Blows for a few seconds. Once the first stack is applied, allied champions attacks also stack Concussive Blows. Upon reaching 4 stacks, the enemy is stunned for a second and takes magic damage.
Concussive Blows can be applied to multiple targets at once and you should always look to attack all enemies at least once to try and get as many stacks as possible, but don't go too far away from your team or you might get caught out.
Winter's Bite (1)
Braum launches ice that deals magic damage and slows enemies hit by 70% for a few seconds while applying a stack of Concussive Blows.
Winter's Bite is great as a mini engage as it slows a lot and allows your team to catch up to the enemies. It's also strong in the laning phase as it deals loads of damage when poking the enemies and it forces them to play safer because they have to be careful of your passive stacks.
Stand Behind Me (2)
Braum leaps to an ally, granting himself and his ally bonus armor and magic resist for a few seconds on arrival. This is Braum's only mobility ability and allows him to escape dangerous situations. It also allows him to jump to the front line to engage with his team.
Braum can use Stand Behind Me to jump to minions if needed.
Most of the time you want to jump to your duo bot lane to help them get armour and magic resist, as it protects them against the enemy and you can also try and block skill shots aimed at them.
Unbreakable (3)
Braum raises his shield, intercepting projectiles for a few seconds, negating the first instance of damage from whichever direction he faces and taking reduced damage afterwards.
Braum also gains movement speed while his shield is raised.
When looking to engage you should always look to use his shield to block attacks and get movement speed to move around the fight easier. Even if he will still be affected by crowd control, his teammates around will not be affected.
Glacial Fissure (Ultimate)
Braum slams the ground and opens a fissure, dealing magic damage and knocking up enemies for a second. The fissure slows enemies and lasts a few seconds.
After the first enemy champion hit, subsequent enemies are knocked up for under a second. Glacial Fissure is a reliable engagement tool to start fights but it is also a good disengage tool as well because of the knock-up and slow.
Braum Build Breakdown
Braum does well with tank and support items that help keep him and his team alive. Ixtali Seedjar is a really strong first item. It is currently the cheapest item in the game and it gives Braum a lot of stats that he needs. The passive is also very useful for giving you and your team extra healing, getting vision control or even trying a cheeky play with the blasting cone. Another great item for Braum is Warmog's Armor. It's a huge tank item that gives Braum a lot of health and health regeneration so if you get low on health, you can go out of combat and heal back up before looking to go in for another fight.
For runes we have:
Very unique rune for supports but it does well with Braum! Braum has a lot of ways to proc Font of Life that can help you and your team heal over time.
It's really easy to immobilize the enemy, especially with Concussive Blows (passive) and if the enemy does get immobilized they will take extra damage from you and your team.
Since Braum loves to be at the front line and gets involved in a lot of team fights, he will get a lot of takedowns. After every unique takedown, Braum gets maximum health and tenacity.
This rune gives Braum more movement speed when near allies which is important when moving around the map and being able to get close to your team to help them.
For summoner spells, Flash is a must on most champions. It's a great spell to get you out of a bad situation or allows you to flash and save your ally or even maybe get a kill. The 2nd spell is heal. Heal works well if your AD Carry takes barrier however if your bot lane duo (AD Carry) also takes heal it is really bad as you don't get the full effect. If this happens then change heal to Ignite.
Early Game
In the early game, you want to use Winter's Bite to poke down the enemies or to try and engage. Hitting Braum's 1st ability will inflict the enemy with 1 stack of Concussive Blows and slow the enemy so you can walk up and keep on hitting them to try and get the stun off. Make sure you are always keeping your AD Carry safe. Use Unbreakable to block any incoming damage and abilites and Stand Behind Me to jump to your AD Carry to give him/her resistances.
Late Game
It is really important when playing Braum that you stay with your team and help them during team fights. Prioritize keeping your carries alive and protecting them against the enemy team using everything possible to keep them alive. The AD Carry in your team is one of the main damage sources and keeping him/her alive is really important! Another important note is that your passive can be applied to multiple enemies at once. So if you have already applied a stack of your passive to one enemy you can move onto the next.
Conclusion
Braum is a very safe and beginner-friendly champion to play! If you are looking at playing support, and you want a champion that is good at protecting your team and being a big shield Braum is the right champion for you!
