Braum Build Guide : My Shield Is Here For You: A Braum Guide

I. Introduction

Hello and welcome to my guide on how to play ! My name is xPolarbear, and I play League of Legends (much like you) as a support main. I've been playing League for a little over three years now, and know a thing or two about mechanics/gameplay. is undoubtedly one of my favorite supports, and I've done incredibly well with him in both normals and ranked. Without a further ado, I'd like to introduce you to my guide!

is a beefy support that can absorb a lot of damage for his team and send it back through CC and surprising burst. With coordination, knowledge, and awareness, is possibly one of the best supports in league for his amazing kit of abilities. Whether successful or defeated, always finds a way to stand back up and help those in need.

II. Pros/Cons

Pros

+ Super tanky
+ Can save allies
+ Powerful CC
+ Surprising burst
+ Mobile "wind-wall"

Cons

- No true escape
- No true sustain
- Reliant on team
- Can't push/defend
- Hard to perfect mechanics

has a lot of burst damage and CC, as well as being incredibly good at saving allies/turning around fights. Through coordination, and his partner can dominate their lane with threatening presence, damage, and a face-full of CC. However, has downsides to his beautiful mustache: he's not very good when he's by himself (in practically all situations) and doesn't have any sustain, not including . All in all, is a good support pick for a majority of laning phase and scales well into late game.

III. Abilities

Concussive Blows

Whenever lands a basic attack, he applies to the target. Once the first stack is applied, auto-attacks from all ally champions apply an additional stack. After four stacks, the target takes bonus magic damage and is stunned. Targets cannot be stunned again for a few seconds. In addition, when auto-attacks them, it does bonus magic damage while the target is immune to the effect.

Tips and Tricks

Winter’s Bite

launches a blast from his shield, damaging, slowing, and applying a stack of to the target.

Tips and Tricks

Stand Behind Me

lunges to an ally champion or minion, giving them and himself armor and magic resistance.

Tips and Tricks

Unbreakable

raises his shield, summoning a wall that absorbs incoming projectiles and causes him to take the brunt of the damage and crowd control facing that direction. In addition, he gains damage reduction, movement speed, and ignores unit collision while the shield is up.

Tips and Tricks

Glacial Fissure

slams his shield into the ground after a delay, sending out a line that damages and knocks up the first enemy (also applies in an AoE around him). Enemies after the first are knocked up for less time. In addition, he leaves a large fissure in a line that slows all enemies walking on it.

Tips and Tricks

is an extremely defensive champion that usually relies on soaking a lot of damage. Get whenever possible. Because of the scaling defenses on and other benefits it gives (i.e. cooldowns, duration) allow you to use it more often to more of an extent. Depending on how your lane is going, max first instead of if you're winning (or you choose to by preference) due to the increased burst and cooldown. Otherwise, prioritize , and rank accordingly.

IV. Runes

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

Greater Mark of Armor

Having armor marks will help you absorb a lot of the enemy marksman’s damage. In addition, it will help out against some minion and monster damage - by a minimal amount, but you still benefit. In addition, it'll help out with boosting your protection-rate on by just a small amount.

Mathematical Numbers

Greater Seal of Health

Generally these are widely favored by many supports and tanks due to the good amount of health early on. Overall, +72 health won't seem like much mid and late game, but it will make a big impact in early game until you get a good health item; it also helps in boosting the damage for because of health scaling damage.

Mathematical Numbers

Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist

In case there happens to be a strong mage support in bot lane (such as , , or ), it's best to get initial magic resist since a lot of support burst comes in that form. Also note that it will help your MR when you have a lot of armor. Magic Resist also helps in case their jungler is AP/their mid laner roams to your lane a lot.

Mathematical Numbers

Greater Quintessence of Armor

Armor quints are essential for surviving a lot of the enemy ADC's early game poke. Three of these, along with your marks and masteries, help you absorb a lot more damage early on, as well as assist you slightly in mid-late game, as well as slighty boosting by a small amount - your glyphs will also help in this sense.

Mathematical Numbers

V. Masteries

Defense Tree

doesn't benefit much from the offensive tree due to his kit lacking a lot of important ratios, however because of the health/armor/magic resistance scaling ratios on and , he utilizes the defense tree very well.

Detailed Benefits

Utility Tree

Because of the offensive tree not giving much else other than a bit of damage and vulnerability for , he needs some more survivability, engagability, and disengag-ability. Therefore utility comes in handy just for that.

Detailed Benefits

VI. Spells

Flash

is extremely useful for getting out of sticky situations, as well as jumping in and engaging with a massive . Be sure to use it only when you need to, because wasting is practically like adding a death or taking away a kill/assist (i.e. to escape or pursue.)

Exhaust

is one of the few supports that, despite having strong CC, doesn't have it all the time. has a long cooldown early game, and is strong for the time they're in the area. helps slow down/keep away enemies. VS. Everything

Ignite

Rarely should you take , except by preference, due to the amount of CC you could be missing. Due to having a lot of coordination with his partner, having some damage on hand will help a little bit, but is typically useful for duels. Overall, a preference choice. VS. Sustain

VII. Items

Items

relies heavily on lots of tanky items that will allow him to help his team and soak up tons of damage. Without tanky items, can't benefit from much other than his base CC. Therefore, items are essential on to succeed in your goal of protecting your ADC.

First Buy

Relic Shield

is an excellent starter item on due to the increase in health and income of gold, as well as giving him a slight boost in sustain. benefits from this item early on, making it wise to pick it up for the bonus burst. REMEMBER: Use Spoils of War only on melee or siege minions/if you or your ADC need health, as it will heal them for some as well as grant you more gold benefit.

Health Potion

Simple and to the point, a will help you heal up a bit more when you've engaged/were engaged on. Wait for level two before you use your potion: once you're level 2, your opponent will most likely be as well and have an additional spell, preventing your benefit from if you've used it too soon; if you need to, you may also use it when being assaulted for a little bit of sustain from the early damage. NOTE: If you're successful, you'll be increasing , therefore replacing a with a will help with that spamming.

Stealth Ward

This ward is the difference between your success and failure. If their jungler comes to gank your lane, it's most likely he wants to get an early kill. Therefore, placing a in the river will give you an early warning and a lot of distance. If the enemy has a lot of poke and/or a jungler champion who doesn't typically gank pre-6 or before their clears, replace this ward with two more health potions. The topic of warding is in a later chapter.

First Back

Targon's Brace

Getting Targon's Brace right away will benefit you in multiple ways. For one, you'll get more health for and tankiness; secondly, you'll get a half-minute reduction to the cooldown on Spoils of War, allowing you to sustain more, as well as get more gold income; finally, you also get a small amount of HP regen, improving the bonuses your masteries give.

Sightstone

If you have enough for it or have a preference of buying this first, will make it possible to improve vision and vision control. After you get , sell your (if you have it) for a in place of the practical "infinite ward" unique passive . Also benefits .

Rush

Face of the Mountain

Face of the Mountain gives many benefits for , that including incredible tankiness, the ability to shield/sustain allies and himself, and giving a bit of cooldown reduction for all of his abilities' benefit. Rushing this will provide you with everything could dream for.

Ruby Sightstone

After getting Face of the Mountain and , grab . Because of the boost in health and the one-extra ward limit (which will replace ) you'll be able to pull off a bit more tankiness, along with some more vision; a support tank's admiration.

Offensive

Sunfire Cape

isn't all tankiness, but he still needs some for success. Grabbing will help you dish out a bit more damage (this coordinates well with , , and for the sense of "extra damage" in getting close).

Locket of the Iron Solari

In case you're very aggressive, you or your allies might get caught in a bad situation/teamfight. Therfore, will help sustain a bit of damage - not much, but a little less than an ability. Good for absorbing more damage with .

Defensive

Randuin's Omen

Defensive doesn't always mean best on a tank, however for , it all depends on opinion or condition. For example, if you believe that is more powerful of an offensive than , don't let my opinion stop you; if you believe so, go ahead. But in the sense of condition (you're losing lane) usually you should grab instead for the movement/attack speed slow, considering that will absorb a lot of damage/slow their assault down, usually from their marksman.

Righteous Glory

is good for innitiating/disengaging on an enemy due to the ability of chasing/retreating, as well as slowing them down if they catch up/fall behind. Overall, is good for just about everything, and shouldn't be underestimated.

Situational

Warmog's Armor

If you aren't feeling tanky enough, grab to make yourself feel like a wall. It doesn't give much other than the benefit of health and regen, but overall improves your tankiness/mastery benefit. Take this if you feel you're taking little damage (have enough armor/MR).

Thornmail

If the enemy has an AD heavy team, it's best to build armor; typically when an enemy relies on AD, they are reliant on auto-attacks. Getting will show them pain as they attack you ( applies before resistances, meaning they'll take more damage than they can do!) and coordinates well with to slow their attack.

Banshee's Veil

If the enemy is extremely good at poking/CC locking opponents, you might not do much other than keep enemies at bay while taking a ton of damage or from being locked in place, grab to stop that damage/risk of death by control. Coordinates well with by giving it (basically) another stack of absorbing.

Mikael's Crucible

In case the enemy team has a lot of poke, assassination potential, or CC, grab this in place of an item you'd prefer (I prefer ) so you can heal them and save their behind in a jiffy. It's also good against magic heavy comps, if you'd prefer this over .

Boot Options

Boots of Mobility

Because relies on lots of crowd control and the ability to save allies, he needs to be close to allies most of the time, as well as be able to apply that CC. Through movement speed, can engage a target with a friend, get back to lane, ward and return, etc. Grab early and mid-game, and hover other choices when you can afford the switch late game.

Ninja Tabi

You can use as a replacement to late game, based on if the enemy has a lot of armor or damage with auto-attacks. Note that it will reduce damage from auto-attacks, making it useful on hyper-carries.

Mercury's Treads

Basically just like for mages: replacement to and is useful against AP/CC-heavy teams. Grab this if you prefer its benefits over .

Enchantment Options

Enchantment: Homeguard

Take this a majority of the time; the benefit of will help you greatly in reaching allies, defending, making distance out of base, etc. NOTE: Despite the fact fountains now heal for 4% HP per .25 seconds, the heal may still feel godly slow, therefore will make it feel much faster.

Enchantment: Alacrity

If you prefer this over , it's still a viable option and good for equalizing movement speed while in-combat. I generally don't think I'll ever use it, however it's completely preference for this enchantment.

Enchantment: Captain

If you have an initiate-reliant team (, , etc.) getting will help you reach the team-fight/objective much faster, and clear it with ease. Never take this unless you have a composition similar to that I mentioned! Otherwise, it's a useless enchantment and doesn't have much effect.

Trinket Options

Warding Totem

Good for early game, but after is practically useless. By the time you get , you may not even be level 9 yet, therefore the cooldown and duration still exist, and don't compare to . TL;DR Until .

Sweeping Lens

After , this would be best for controlling the opponents vision (considering they'll most likely ward in the same places you do in lane, plus they'll have too). If you feel it'd be better, go ahead and get it at level 1; I don't recommend it, but it's just a preference thing based on your choice.

Scrying Orb

If your team is smart and ultimately get full , grab this instead so that you can benefit from vision over far distances at major objectives. If you feel the enemy is at Dragon, put it down there and ping your to fire. Same applies with Baron Nashor, Red/Blue Buff, etc. I wouldn't choose this over , but it's freedom of choice.

VIII. Warding

As a support, it's your job to get kills for your carry, let your carry farm, gank every so often, but most of all and most importantly: ward. Warding is extremely important for gameplay as it can literally be the difference between death and safety, and occassionally a kill. In this chapter, you'll learn about a few good spots to ward at and why.

About Stealth Wards

is a simple consumable that places a ward at the ground, granting vision nearby the ward but respecting terrain. It is considered invisible, but can be spotted by true sight and takes three hits to destroy. There are many many places to put your , but for many different reasons.

About Vision Wards

is a simple consumable that places a ward at the ground, granting vision nearby the ward but respecting terrain. A is visible to the opposing team, however it can see a and invisible units, taking five hits to destroy. There are only a few spots you can put you for the most benefit, however they last a long time if not found/destroyed.

About Ward Locations

Below here is a slide-show of locations that are good for warding, and below that is a list of why they're good locations for and alike.

Warding Locations

There are many places to put your wards down, however there are many specific areas that should be kept close watch of. Here's the list for understanding why they're good locations for wards, and understanding which team should put them there.

Warding Locations

IX. Laning Phase

Early Game

's early game defines how the game will most likely go due to the fact he relies heavily on his ADC's cooperation. Without consistent poke and harass, will have difficulty getting his partner to higher levels. This chapter is tailored to help you get through laning phase as .

About You - the Support

Playing as means your most likely playing support (he can be played as top occassionally, but that's another guide.) As a support, you have many jobs that you have to juggle to make yourself a truly valuable player to the team. In the spoiler below, you'll learn about all the early game thing will need to know.

Support Goals

is similar to many supports according to his playstyle, and so this section can apply to many other supports as well; tanky semi-aggressive burst supports (, , .)

Warding: As mentioned before, warding with Stealth Ward and Vision Ward alike is key to learning the difference between safety and ambush. Make sure you pay close attention to the warding chapter above for the most benefit in early game!
Peeling: In a nutshell, this means keeping close quarters with your carry and making sure they aren't prioritized. This is especially easy as Braum because of Stand Behind Me + Unbreakable. This applies in both lane and teamfights - make sure you're involved in the fight, but not enough to lose sight of your ADC.
Assist Farm Lead: Your ADC is most likely going to want more farm than the opposing ADC known as "Farm Lead." Having a farm lead means that your marksman will have more gold/XP, thus resulting in more items and more damage. By letting your ADC farm and denying their ADC theirs, you can get a lead simply by having presence.
Assist Kills: Short and simple, you need to get your ADC kills to benefit much more than simply farming (unless you're put in a tight spot where it may be difficult to do so; tower-hugging, freezing, etc.) The difference between a "farm type ADC" and a "kill type ADC" is based on his support; if they're a farmer early ( Ashe, Vayne), get a defensive support to help freeze, defend, etc. ( Braum, Leona); if they're a killer early ( Jinx, Lucian), grab an aggressive support to help CC and damage ( Thresh, Braum.)
Type of Support: There are three major types of support; agressive, defensive, and passive; also known by three other names of Kill, Poke, and Sustain. Braum is good for agression and defensive, making him good in those two categories. Soraka is good for defensive and passive, healing her ADC and poking every so often with Starcall. Nami is a good agressive and passive support, with good heals, pokes, and CC. Know which type will most benefit your ADC (think back to Assist Kills.)

Regarding Your ADC

As a support, it is your sole job to protect your ADC and "support" them early so they can "carry" you late. is, of course, one of those supports. With CC like and to protections like and , all the way to interesting mechanics like . is always a good pick, but there are still a few things you need to know about your ADC.

ADC Goals

Playing Braum in Early

As you have many jobs, and most are listed above in the spoilers. But the most important job as is that you play aggressive early. Early on, is somewhat weak, but once he gets , you can go ham as you please as long as it's off cooldown. Here's a little description of things you must pay attention to.

Braum Goals

has many goals, specifically oriented in getting his carry to the point where they can be alone most of the time and roam around (roaming mentioned in a later chapter.) But for now, focus these things:

Defend your carry for a few levels until you feel safe they're ready to engage. Unless your carry actually says it's OK to engage and you have the upper hand (pushed to your tower, freeze, etc.) then go ahead. Otherwise, wait until you feel like they're prepared (about level 4-6.)
Help you carry farm while under turret or when you have Relic Shield. Typically a carry won't have enough AD to easily farm under turret, so attack minions that might need an extra auto-attack to finish off if the turret's hit them (i.e. caster minions.) Also use Relic Shield so that you'll always have used at least one stack. NOTE: For Relic Shield, only hit melee minions and siege minions, and only use it for sustain/to remove one stack so it's never at max stacks.
If you're up against a squishy support without much escape, tell your carry you'll engage "earlier than usual." The reason is if you can lock down a squishy target as Braum, they're probably going to die/waste a summoner. Your Concussive Blows is a very scary passive and can cause enemies to flee when they take a stack. Champions you can do this tactic on are Sona, Nami, Lulu, Vel'Koz, etc.
Ward, ward, and ward. Braum is easy to catch out, and, if caught out, can't really do much other than slow the enemy and lunge away. Unless they're jungler/support doesn't have a good CC, keep wards up as long as you can. Refer to the warding chapter if you need to.
Don't get greedy; just because you think it looks like a kill might mean it's a death. When it comes to early game, Braum isn't too great at engaging. He's still somewhat weak, but his power and CC scale with level (much like his ADC,) however he seems to scale harder between 4-6 than many other carries. Long story short, don't tower dive/over-extend without wards (early game, anyway; you're still very weak.)
Don't use your shield for your protection unless your ADC is in a safe spot. If your ADC is in a vulnerable spot, it'd be best not to use your shield for your benefit unless you're positive nothing will occur (they miss a CC, no junglers nearby, etc.) Imagine this; would you rather throw a friend into a volcano, or would you rather fall yourself? You might be as valuable in gold in the early-early stages of the game, but better you than them in the end.
Use Winter's Bite as an engage/disengage rather than a poke. As cool as it may seem to throw it out here and there, the slow, cooldown, and mana-cost-for-efficiency doesn't add up well. There should no reason to throw it out to poke, because it's (actually, believe it or not) rather thin, despite long range, making it occasionally hard to predict how far/where it'll go. Engage/disengage only (early game.)
Only use Glacial Fissure after you get a stun; if you don't manage a stun, it can be avoided easily. It also won't be there for you when their jungler comes to gank, and they manage to catch you or your ADC out.
Make sure you and your ADC are on the same page; the same level; the same half-life. Whatever. Make sure they know that you'll engage, that when you do you'll do *this*, that if you do *this* they should do *that*, etc. For example, if their jungler comes to gank, make sure they know you're using Glacial Fissure as a disengage and not an engage so they don't come back and get killed. Same applies with Concussive Blows; tell them you'll ping or something when you're going to throw a Winter's Bite or something so they can dash in or something similar to harass/CC.

I'll be adding pictures as soon as I can once I get LoLReplay to work again. I have two ways I can set up the picures: put them in the spoilers, or put them all in a slideshow where this text is, similar to the Warding chapter. Let me know what you'd like to see in the discussion! In the meantime, look forward to them in the future! Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience!

X. Ganking

Mid Game

Mid game is all about roaming and letting your marksman farm. As , this is your chance to help out other teammates in a some-what similar, but much different way that you did with your ADC. In this section, you'll learn how to gank and roam as , and potentially learn about other roles a bit more from a support perspective.

About You - the Support

A support in mid-game is really boring and really long, if you want the completely honest answer. All it really is; roaming around, warding where wards needs to be, and ganking with the jungler/sometimes alone. In the spoiler below, I'll explain this long boring process that is occasionally a lot of fun, if you do it right.

Support Goals

About the Jungler

You'll need to know a lot about what your jungler will be doing in mid-game, so this part will teach you to understand what your jungler will be doing throughout this period of roaming and such. If you know what a Jungler is going to do during mid-game, feel free to skip this part.

Jungler Goals

Your jungler (let's call him cause why not) in mid game has many different options, and many different ways to execute them. I can't go over everything a jungler has the option of doing, however I'll go over what will most likely do.

Focusing Objectives: Whether he's winning or losing, Lee Sin will always prioritize objectives; specifically dragon, buffs, and the enemy jungler's camps. This will shut down the enemy jungler, ultimately allowing your team to take over their jungle/control your own, as well as impact their entire team by improving yours through buffs and dragon. Your job as support is to help him out where he needs it (dragon and towers in particular) and gank while he's counter-jungling, keeping up the pressure on the enemy team. !! If you're not already winning lane after a successful gank, get the enemies outer turret and then head to dragon if it's open. Rotate to mid after if possible (i.e. you're healthy.)
Assisting Carries: Some generous junglers will most likely gank bot lane and mid lane, getting their ADC and Mage fed so they can carry much better and even more so easier. This is a smart move for Lee Sin because getting Ashe fed will allow you ( Braum) and him to defend her and help her as she pushes. Keeping your carries alive and fed is vital for a jungler. Your job as support is to help him out by ganking with him, resulting in further success of getting your carries fed while shutting down theirs.
Warding (Potentially): Not all junglers ward, but Lee Sin most likely will because of the likelihood of him getting Sightstone. A max of 3 Stealth Ward and 1 Vision Ward is going to restrict the supports ward-ability, so the jungler comes in handy to ward his jungle where the support cannot, while focusing on counter-jungling and objectives simultaneously. Your job is to do as you should when it comes to warding. See in the spoiler above this one.
Getting Fed: If you've got a carry jungler (like Lee Sin), you he can easily begin to get kills if he has the right items, and potentially become a third carry for your team. This can result in all of the above improving by much more, and him succeeding. Your job as support is... well... you know - help him, gank where he isn't. Yadda yadda.

I'll be adding pictures as soon as I can once I get LoLReplay to work again. I have two ways I can set up the pictures; put them in the spoilers, or put them all in a slideshow where this text is, similar to the Warding chapter. Let me know what you'd like to see in the discussion! In the meantime, look forward to them in the future! Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience!

XI. Team Fights

Late Game

When it comes to late game teamfights, excels beyond compare. The ability to disrupt everything with , follow through with a and , and zoning out a vulnerable target make him one of the best teamfight supports because of his surprising CC and presence. This chapter will go over how to teamfight as .

About Team Fights

What is a team fight? well its simple, isn't it - both teams start a fight, and the winning team focus an objective off of the success. Well yes, of course, but every member has an important role to play in the fight. This part will tell you the logistics of what everyone needs to do.

Roles of a Team Fight

Team fights can determine the game sometimes; winning a late game fight can determine the outcome of a game - therefore each member has to execute their role properly, or everything falls apart and it could cost an objective, or even the game itself. Here's what each role has to prioritize while fighting:

Top (Tank): is the innitiator/damage dealer. ( Malphite) will always engage a fight first because he is most likely the tankiest person (not all supports or junglers are tanks!) and may potentially have the best engage on the team. During the fight, their job is to keep the opposing team at bay and attempt to take the brunt of everything - as much as they can. NOTE: If you don't have a tank top laner, you'll have to be the innitiator yourself (unless they can themselves, such as Riven or Pantheon.)
Jungler (Assassin/Mage/Etc.): follows up with the Tank, and controls/kills the carries without scaring them off. Most junglers have a lot of follow-up CC and innitiation CC (ganking, typically) so their team fighting is incredible. Some junglers have different jobs, however generally this is the role of the jungler.
Mid (Mage/Assassin): stays back, uses abilities/waits for cooldowns, and waits for openings. The job of mid laners depends on the amount of penetration they have compared to the opponents protections. For example, if they don't have much penetration, they'll focus someone (usually carries) who doesn't have much protection against their damage.
ADC (Marksman): to deal AS MUCH DAMAGE AS POSSIBLE without getting killed. ADC's are literally the most important member in teamfights - without them, teamfights are easily lost, therefore making them high priority. Long story short, their job is to throw out rockets, auto attacks, ultimates, abilities, etc. and stay back behind the front line.
Support (You): to defend the ADC (and sometimes the mid) at all costs and cause maximum disruption. You can't push alone well, you can't do much damage on your own, and considering you're Braum, can't do much other than keep your pal protected. That's your job; keep dat Ashe behind that meaty man shield. (If you're a mage like Morgana, you instead cause disruption, like Flash + Soul Shackles).

Braum in Teamfights

in late game is a super tank and can absorb a hell of a ton of damage. Therfore defending your can be very simple and easy, right? It's just + + , right? Not hard, right?! WRONG! It's a bit more complicated than that. But I'll break it down for you:

Teamfight Braum

I'll be adding pictures as soon as I can once I get LoLReplay to work again. I have two ways I can set up the pictures; put them in the spoilers, or put them all in a slideshow where this text is, similar to the Warding chapter. Let me know what you'd like to see in the discussion! In the meantime, look forward to them in the future! Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience!

XII. Summary and Acknowledgements

Summary

is overall an incredible support tank that can CC his foes with ease while face-tanking just about all the damage possibly dished by the enemy team. He's got a steady early game, good mid game, and amazing late-game, along with a slew of thought-provoking lines. All in all, he is a well rounded support that can assist his ADC in the most impressive way possible.
