Braum Tips and Tricks

Braum doesn’t need to play aggressively all the time. Waiting for the enemy to engage before turning the exchange around can be more effective. Always stay close to your team, especially the ADC, so you can protect and peel for them with your E. Avoid using your E to block damage in small trades. It is better to save it for extended fights or all-ins so you don’t run out of mana. Keeping your E available also gives you a defensive option if the enemy decides to fully commit to a fight.

Situational Braum Runes and Items

Depending on your game context, matchup, and enemy champions, you may want to adjust your items or runes. Carefully consider your team composition, the enemy team, and the game state when planning your Braum build. For example, if facing an opponent with high Magic damage, you may want to consider Magic Resist in your rune shards, or take Armor if you need more resistance against physical damage.
