Abilities & tips
Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.
PConcussive Blows
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.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
QWinter's Bite
Braum propels freezing ice from his shield, slowing and dealing magic damage. Applies a stack of Concussive Blows.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
WStand Behind Me
Braum leaps to a target allied champion or minion. On arrival, Braum and the ally gain Armor and Magic Resist for a few seconds.
Decide where you want to finish the movement before casting. Using mobility to enter a fight can leave fewer options to retreat.
EUnbreakable
Braum raises his shield in a direction for several seconds, intercepting all projectiles causing them to hit him and be destroyed. He negates the damage of the first attack completely and reduces the damage of all subsequent attacks from this direction.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
RGlacial Fissure
Braum slams the ground, knocking up enemies nearby and in a line in front of him. A fissure is left along the line that slows enemies.
Use this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.

Game plan by role
Braum · Support
Stand where you can help your lane partner without exposing both of you. Coordinate the opening before spending your main control or protection.
Set up vision with nearby allies rather than walking into unlit areas alone. Roam when your lane partner can safely handle the next wave.
Choose between creating an opening and protecting the teammate who can carry the fight. Do not spend every defensive spell on the first visible enemy.
Before your next fight, check: Winter's Bite · Glacial Fissure · Combos
06
Matchup preparation
Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.
07
Practice checklist
- Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
- Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
- After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
