Braum's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Concussive Blows (P)

Braum's basic attacks apply Concussive Blows. Once the first stack is applied, ally basic attacks also stack Concussive Blows. Upon reaching 4 stacks, the target is stunned and takes magic damage. For the next few seconds they cannot receive new stacks, but take bonus magic damage from Braum's attacks.

Playing as Hwei

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke with Devastating Fire

    Poke with Devastating Fire (QQ) in lane: the fireball explodes on the first enemy hit and adds damage based on their max health.

  2. Two spells for your signature

    Hit the same champion with two damaging spells: Signature of the Visionary (passive) then leaves a signature beneath them that explodes shortly after.

  3. Pick the right subject

    Pick the subject that fits the moment: Devastating Fire (QQ) for damage, Pool of Reflection (WW) to protect your allies, Crushing Maw (EE) to pull a group together.

  4. Block a path with lava

    Block a chokepoint with Molten Fissure (QE): the line of eruptions leaves pools of lava that slow and damage enemies.

  5. Ult a champion near their team

    Cast Spiraling Despair (R) on a champion surrounded by allies: the vision expands around them, slowing harder and damaging nearby enemies before it explodes.

Playing against Braum

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off before the 4th stack

    Back off when you have Concussive Blows (passive) stacks on you: his allies' autos add stacks too, and the 4th stuns you.

  2. Isolate him from his allies

    Catch him when he's far from his allies: Stand Behind Me (W) only leaps to an ally, minions included, and without one nearby he has no dash.

  3. Don't shoot into his shield

    Don't shoot into Unbreakable (E): it intercepts your projectiles. Go around it, use AoE spells, or wait for him to lower his shield.

  4. Stay out of his fissure's line

    Don't line up with your allies in front of him when he has Glacial Fissure (R): it hits every enemy along its line and around him with a knock-up.
