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 Lulu
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her two bolts
Dodge Glitterlance (Q): two bolts fly out, one from Lulu and one from Pix, and each one damages and heavily slows.
- Engage twice
Engage in two steps: make her use Whimsy (W), then re-engage during its 18-second cooldown.
- Focus her if you can reach her
If you can reach her, focus her in teamfights: Whimsy (W), Help, Pix! (E) and Wild Growth (R) are mostly there to protect her allies.
- Back off from her enlarged ally
When Wild Growth (R) enlarges one of her allies near you, back off: anyone close to them is knocked into the air, then the aura slows them.
