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 Morgana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Dark Binding (Q) roots the first enemy hit, so a single minion is enough to block it.
- Don't CC into her shield
If you have CC, don't throw it into Black Shield (E): it blocks disabling and immobilizing CC while it holds, and only magic damage can break it sooner.
- Break her chains
When Soul Shackles (R) binds you, move away from her to break the chain: otherwise, at the end, you take damage again and get stunned.
- Engage when her E is down
Engage when Black Shield (E) is on cooldown: it comes back in 26 to 16 seconds, and without it, her allies have no protection against CC.
