Players that want to rank up and be the best inLeague of Legendsneed to know how to get the most out of their champion’s abilities. Braum can make an excellent ADC or support character depending on which way players want to go. If players know how to use all of his abilities, he becomes quite the beast on the battlefield.
Passive: Concussive Blows
Concussive Blows is a fantastic passive ability that defines Braum as a character. Here are the basics of how it works:
This is the number one rule of playing as Braum — always be stacking Concussive Blows. Once the first hit is landed, make sure to get allies to add on with some basic attacks of their own. It’s far easier to take down everything from dragons to enemy champions if they’re stunned.
Winter’s Bite
Winter’s Bite not only combines with Concussive Blows but is also just plain useful in its own right. Here’s how it works:
Look at just how much enemies get slowed! Landing Winter’s Bite can be the difference between a successful ambush on the enemy or an opponent getting away. It’s an amazing way to force the opposing team to turn around and fight a questionable battle because their retreat has become likely impossible.
Stand Behind Me
Stand Behind Me is one of the reasons that Braum makes for such a perfect support champion. Here are the basics of how it works:
The obvious way to implement this ability is for raising defense in tough fights or to set up for quick retreats. However, it’s important to realize this ability isn’t always about defense — it can help offensively as well. This ability can help Braum suddenly be in the thick of battle while buffing teammates for some serious ambush potential.
Unbreakable
Unbreakable is another fantastic ability that makes Braum into a powerhouse as a support character but also has surprising offensive capabilities. Here’s how it works:
Being able to completely shrug off a single powerful projectile-based ability can be the difference between a winning encounter and being crushed. Plus, putting Braum at the front of a fight can help to make tower pushes far easier in general if opponents are nearby with this ability.
Offensively, being able to avoid unit collision can allow Braum to chase down enemies who thought they were about to make a safe getaway behind a group of minions. Once he catches them, using something like Winter’s Bite can slow them down until the rest of the team can catch up.
Glacial Fissure
Braum’s ultimate is a sight to behold and is marvelously powerful. Here’s how it works:
If a group fight starts off with Glacial Fissure hitting most of the enemy team they can kiss their sorry butts goodbye. This is why this ability has a long casting time in general. Players need to be absolutely sure this move works but when it does, it can make engaging the enemy a breeze.
It’s equally useful for when players need to retreat. Let’s be real, it’s impossible to win every fight, right? Majorly slowing enemy champions down so they can’t give chase is wonderful, and some will even simply run away instead of continuing to put the pressure on.
