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 Rakan

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Gleaming Quill (Q) strikes the first enemy in its path, and if it hits a champion, Rakan heals his team.

  2. Keep your distance

    Keep your distance when his ADC steps up: Grand Entrance (W) lets him leap onto you, and enemies around his landing spot take a knock-up.

  3. Save your CC for his arrival

    If you have CC, save it for when he lands in the middle of your team: only Battle Dance (E) then lets him leave toward an ally.

  4. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when he casts The Quickness (R): he charms every enemy he touches while running.
