Braum is a strong and resilient melee support capable of making game-changing plays while saving his team from a barrage of enemy attacks. He forms symbiotic bonds with the marksman he fights alongside, forming a wall between the two teams and leaping to the aid of his allies as he transitions into a late game tank

Flash

Flash is core on almost every champion, but on Braum it can be a little more necessary than others Braums ability to reposition is limited to the availability of nearby allies and the cooldown of Stand Behind Me If you need to escape over a wall and there isn't an allied champion waiting for you the only way you can do that is by using Flash This spell also makes you much more resistant to all-ins and jungle ganks in lane as well as picks or initiations in the late game Flash might be enough to let you get that one last autoattack off and proc Concussive Blows to secure a late game kill that results in a baron for your team It has a lot of potential as an offensive and defensive tool I don't recommend skipping this spell

Exhaust

Exhaust is the current favorite secondary spell of support players since most Marksmen run Heal and two Heals in the same lane can result in decreased effectiveness due to the healing debuff upon casting the spell. Exhaust, on the other hand, serves as a nice compliment to Heal in an engagement, debuffing the enemy Marksman (or later an assassin or fighter) for several seconds and slowing them. Exhaust can help save yourself or your Marksman from death, but it can also turn the tide in all-ins and even be used to slow down a target enough to secure a kill It's a flexible summoner that's useful in 2v2s and scales well into late game since it reduces a targets damage output by a percentage I recommend Exhaust for most games unless you want you maximize your kill potential in lane

As a whole this rune set is designed to maximize your early game durability against physical damage from minions and auto attacks as well as the magic damage emanating from the enemy support Early game stats are very important in bottom lane as they can determine who has control of the lane Extra early durability can help you assert lane dominance, allowing your Marksman to farm safely and they can help you in an all-in attempt by you or the enemy bottom laners Defensive stats also make you more resistant to being forced out of lane and denied gold and experience, whether that be by 2v2 pressure from the enemy bottom lane or pressure from the enemy jungler As a tank champion Braums kit also happens to scale well with defensive stats hence the utilization of flat HP and resistances
