Playing as Braum

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Nautilus

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Once he hits level 2, stay behind your minions: the Dredge Line (Q) anchor hooks the first enemy hit, then the Staggering Blow (passive) auto keeps you in place.

  2. Hold still against Riptide

    When he casts Riptide (E) near you, stay put until it ends: its three explosions spread out around him, and running too early makes you take the next ones and their slow.

  3. Back off after his anchor

    When Dredge Line (Q) misses you, keep your distance: it's his only spell to reach you, on a 14 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Get out of his shockwave's path

    When he aims Depth Charge (R) at an ally, don't stand between them: the shockwave chases its target, and every enemy in its path takes a knock-up.
