Braum deals primarily mixed damage, which means prioritizing both armor and magic resist in your defensive itemization will significantly reduce Braum's threat in fights. Top defensive items against Braum include Guardian Angel, Gargoyle Stoneplate, Jak'Sho, The Protean, and Sterak's Gage. These items provide substantial both armor and magic resist stats that directly mitigate Braum's damage output throughout all stages of the game.

Beyond item builds and counter picks, successful counter play against Braum involves understanding Braum's power spikes and cooldown windows. Engage on Braum when key abilities are on cooldown, and coordinate with your team to focus Braum in team fights before Braum can output maximum damage. Vision control is also crucial when playing against Braum to avoid getting caught out of position.

Riot's tips for playing against Braum

  • Braum must land Winter's Bite or a basic attack to start Concussive Blows. If you get marked, exit combat range before getting hit 3 more times to avoid the stun.
  • Braum's ultimate has a long cast time, use that extra time to dodge. Walking over the frozen ground left behind will slow you, position so that you don't need to cross it.
  • Unbreakable gives Braum extremely strong directional defense, either wait until it is down or outposition the ability.
