Braum excels as a defensive support champion, best known for his ability to protect allies and counter engage-focused opponents. His playstyle revolves around positioning between threats and his carry while providing crucial crowd control.

Abilities Priority

• First 3 levels: Q > E > W
• Max order: Q (3 points) > E > W > Q

Skill Order Flexibility Q and E both offer significant value with skill points:

• Q: Lower cooldown and increased damage
• E: Reduced cooldown, better damage reduction, longer shield duration

Adapt skill order based on matchup:

• Standard: 3 points Q then max E for balanced offense/defense
• Aggressive: Max Q first for lane dominance
• Defensive: 2 points Q then max E against heavy poke

Playstyle Tips

• Position between your ADC and threats
• Use passive strategically in trades
• Time E (Unbreakable) to block key abilities
• Coordinate engages with jungle and mid roams
• Focus on peeling for carries in teamfights
• Save Q for securing kills or disengaging

Braum works best as a counter-pick against melee supports but struggles against long-range poke lanes. His defensive capabilities and teamfight presence make him a valuable addition to any support player's champion pool.
