Lore

Blessed with massive biceps and an even bigger heart, Braum is a beloved hero of the Freljord. Every mead hall north of Frostheld toasts his legendary strength, said to have felled a forest of oaks in a single night, and punched an entire mountain into rubble. Bearing an enchanted vault door as his shield, Braum roams the frozen north sporting a mustachioed smile as big as his muscles—a true friend to all those in need.

Abilities

Passive

Concussive 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.

Tips

Playing as Braum

  1. Work with your allies to stack Concussive Blows, encourage them to basic attack marked targets.
  2. Leap in front of squishy friends and shield them from projectiles with Unbreakable.
  3. Glacial Fissure leaves a powerful slow zone, position it well to split teamfights and slow the enemy approach.

Playing against Braum

  1. Braum must land Winter's Bite or a basic attack to start Concussive Blows. If you get marked, exit combat range before getting hit 3 more times to avoid the stun.
  2. Braum's ultimate has a long cast time, use that extra time to dodge. Walking over the frozen ground left behind will slow you, position so that you don't need to cross it.
  3. Unbreakable gives Braum extremely strong directional defense, either wait until it is down or outposition the ability.
