Braum Power Spikes (Patch 26.19)

Mid

When Braum Mid gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Braum wins most.

Lv 3
All three basic abilities at level 3
Braum's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
Lv 6
Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Braum hits it.
Lv 11
Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Braum can start or win.
Lv 16
Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Braum can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Braum Mid and Late Game

What Braum does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

Braum out-wards most champions (percentile 93): keep owning vision around the next objective.
Braum brings crowd control (percentile 84): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
Braum wins 25.0 points more in short games than long ones: group, take objectives and end before the enemy scales.

Mistakes to avoid

Braum falls behind in CS (4/100): last-hit the waves you can, items still matter.
Braum is not a damage carry (4/100): don't take fights expecting Braum to win them alone.

Playing Braum

Work with your allies to stack Concussive Blows, encourage them to basic attack marked targets.
Leap in front of squishy friends and shield them from projectiles with Unbreakable.
Glacial Fissure leaves a powerful slow zone, position it well to split teamfights and slow the enemy approach.

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.
