How to beat Braum

Common role: Support

A wall-of-a-tank support who blocks projectiles and stuns with stacked hits.

What makes Braum dangerous

Braum's passive stuns after a few stacked hits (allies proc it with him), and his shield (E) blocks a projectile and reduces damage from that direction — negating poke and skillshots for his team. His ultimate slams the ground for a knock-up line, and his Q pokes and slows. He's a durable peel tank that protects his carry and disrupts engages.

How to play against Braum

• 1His E shield blocks projectiles and the first hit for allies behind it — don't waste key skillshots into it. Angle around or bait it.
• 2Watch his passive stacks — a few hits (his or allies') stun you. Don't let him and his ADC stack the proc on you.
• 3Dodge his ult (R) — it's a knock-up line along the ground. Sidestep it to avoid the airborne setup.
• 4Low personal damage — kite him and focus his carry, whom he peels. Poke him and his carry from range around his shield.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓E shield only covers one direction — angle around it.
• ✓Passive stun needs stacked hits to build.
• ✓Ult is a dodgeable line.
• ✓Low personal damage — a peel tank.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Braum's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  漢の拳

  通常攻撃を命中させると「漢の拳」がスタックする。スタックが1つ以上ある敵には、味方の通常攻撃でも効果がスタックする。 スタックが4つ溜まると対象はスタン状態になり、魔法ダメージを受ける。スタン状態になった敵はその後、数秒間はスタックが増加しない。ただしブラウムの攻撃が命中すると追加魔法ダメージを受ける。

  Strong: stacked hits (his and allies') stun you. Weak: don't let him and his ADC chain the proc onto you — trade to avoid the stacks.

• Q
  冬の凍瘡

  盾から氷塊を発射し、最初に命中した敵ユニットに魔法ダメージとスロウ効果を与える。命中した敵には「漢の拳」がスタックする。

• W
  ワシに任せとけ！

  指定した味方チャンピオンまたはミニオンのもとへ跳躍する。付近に敵チャンピオンがいた場合、対象と敵チャンピオンの間に着地する。着地したあと、自身と対象の物理防御と魔法防御を数秒間増加させる。

• E
  不破の盾

  指定方向に巨大な盾を掲げ、数秒間すべての遠距離攻撃を体を張って食い止める。盾を構えている間は移動速度が増加し、最初に盾に当たった攻撃のダメージを無効化する。盾を構えている間、同方向から来る攻撃のダメージを軽減する。

  Strong: blocks a projectile and the first hit for allies behind it, negating poke. Weak: it only covers one direction — angle around it or bait it.

• R
  氷河の裂溝

  盾を地面にたたきつけて指定方向に地割れを起こし、周囲にいる敵と地割れのライン上にいる敵をノックアップさせる。地割れは短時間持続し、範囲内に入った敵にスロウ効果を付与する。
