Playing as Braum
Tips to maximize your impact
- Apply the first stack
Apply the first Concussive Blows (passive) stack with Winter's Bite (Q) or an auto: your allies' autos then add more, and the 4th stuns.
- Jump to the ally in danger
Leap with Stand Behind Me (W) to an ally in danger, minions included: you both gain armor and magic resist.
- Raise your shield for your carry
Raise Unbreakable (E) against projectiles threatening your carry: the shield intercepts them, the first one deals no damage to you and the rest are reduced.
- Cast your fissure from range
Aim Glacial Fissure (R) from range: the first target hit stays airborne longer if they're far from you, then the fissure slows everyone along its line.
Playing against Heimerdinger
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Destroy his turrets first
Take down his turrets before you trade, with your minions' help: each H-28 G Evolution Turret (Q) builds up charge over time, then fires a stronger shot.
- Dodge the center of his grenade
Get out of the center of CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E): that's where it stuns, and if it hits a champion, it fully charges his nearby turrets.
- All-in after his grenade
Start your all-in or gank after CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E): it's his only stun, it has an 11-second cooldown, and he has no dash.
- Pull him away from his turrets
Take your trades away from his turrets: they deactivate when he moves too far from them, and Hextech Affinity (passive) speeds him up near them.
- Back off from his giant turret
Stay out of his giant turret's range for its 8 seconds: placed with UPGRADE!!! (R), it slows, deals area damage and is immune to CC.
