Braum's play patterns revolve around defensive positioning and protecting allies. Here's how to effectively counter him:

Laning Phase Tactics:

• Maintain minion spacing between you and Braum to prevent his Q
• Bait out his Unbreakable (E) before committing to trades
• Avoid positioning near minions to prevent his Stand Behind Me (W) engage
• Harass when he moves to help with last hits

Strong Counters:

1. Taric - Strong sustain and similar defensive capabilities
2. Vel'Koz - Long-range poke that can bypass shield
3. Senna - Outranges and can harass safely
4. Sona - Consistent poke and scaling advantage
5. Brand - High damage output that pressures shield cooldown

Team Fight Strategy:

• Avoid grouping tightly to prevent multi-target ultimates
• Focus on early game pressure before he becomes too tanky
• Look for picks rather than 5v5 engagements
• Time engagements around his Unbreakable cooldown

Key Power Spike Windows:

• Level 6 (Ultimate unlock)
• When Unbreakable (E) is on cooldown
• Late game scaling with items

Counter Tips:

• Prioritize sustained damage over burst
• Build grievous wounds if he stacks health
• Use range advantage to prevent his passive stacks
• Split push to reduce his team fight impact

These strategies particularly shine when using ranged supports with consistent damage output, as they can pressure Braum while staying safe from his engage potential.
