League of Legends: LoL-Guide Braum

In this guide to the League of Legends Champion Braum we give you basic tips for the bearded man with the big shield.

League of Legends: Braum as support

Braum is designed to support the AD carry on bot lane as a supporter. You can do this with the following skill order:

"Concussive Strikes": Your target receives a charge of the passive "Concussive Strikes" ability per hit. With 4 charges, your target will be disabled for up to 1.75 seconds.
"Winter Bite": This skill slows down your target and does damage. Especially at the beginning, you will disturb your opponents and take away life. This skill has the highest priority after the Ultimate.
"Stand behind me": If your team members are in need, this skill is very helpful. You jump to your ally and give it additional armor and magic resistance. This skill has the lowest priority.
"Indestructible": With this skill your shield is used. The next projectile is completely absorbed, all others do less damage. With "indestructible" you are the protective vest of your team. This skill has the second highest priority.
"Crevasse": The Ultimate from Braum throws the first enemy you hit with it into the air. You also leave a swath of ice. Opponents who run over it are slowed down. Skill this ability whenever possible (levels 6, 11 and 16).

Your task is not only to protect the AD Carry, but also to protect your team as a tank. You can do this with the following items:

Start with the "relic sign", 3 healing potions, a mana potion and the "defense totem".
You upgrade your "Relic Shield" to "Mountain Armor" later in the game. As shoes we recommend "Boots of Mobility" for high movement speed or "Mercury's Shoes" for additional magic resistance.
Other items that you shouldn't do without are the "Ruby Sightstone", the "Amulet of the Iron Solari" and if your team doesn't get going properly, the "Sunfire Cape".
For a strong defense, we also recommend "Randuin's Omen" and "Mikael's Crucible".

Braum's defensive abilities also come into play in the runes and championships:

Sign: "Great Sign of Armor"
Seal: "Great Seal of Life"
Glyph: 4x "Great Glyph of Magic Resistance" and 5x "Great Glyph of Growing Magic Resistance"
Essence: "Great Essence of Armor"
Championships: 0 // 16 // 14
