Braum Build
Best Build Guide for Braum
Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Here you have two options - either start with
Boots of Speed
or
Cloth Armor
. I'd take the boots if I'd like to create more pressure during early game, and the armor if I would like to rush
Bramble Vest
early in case the enemy support is
Soraka
or
Nami
for the anti-heal.
After that's done, you should really rush a full boot item, which should change depending on the enemy comp. I typically take
Mercury's Treads
for extra tenacity, but if the enemy doesn't have a lot of cc, I can switch to something else. As for me, I really like
Redeeming Enchant
because its cheap and very versatile.
Since
Braum
is almost always near his teammates, an item like
Protector's Vow
is very very very very good for him. Other then that, its really not a one way build. When it comes to playing tank support, your item choices should change depending on the enemy team's composition. Do they have a lot of close range enemies? Take
Zeke's Convergence
. Do they have a lot of magic damage? Take
Force of Nature
. Do they have a
Yasuo
that's on your butt 24\7 and his crits are giving you a hard time? Take
Randuin's Omen
. Learn the matchup and what the items do, and make your judgement based on that. Your smart :)

Combos
Learn how to maximize the champions potential
Sometimes when you are ganking or hiding, try to use a basic attack BEFORE you use your
Winter's Bite
If you are in close range, the slow will allow you to fully stack your passive on the enemy easier.
This combo will be used to save your teammates in a pinch. Use
Stand Behind Me
to dash to them, then
Unbreakable
to block incoming damage, finally use
Winter's Bite
to slow down the enemy or reverse the tide and counter-attack him.
Using
Redeeming Enchant
as soon as you ult will almost guarantee a hit on at least the first enemy that was knocked up. Also, it looks really cool XD

How to be good on the job
1. Don't be afraid to invade early.
Braum
is the strongest early game support because of his passive stun.
2. You can use
Stand Behind Me
to dash not only to teammates, but to minions as well. Use this to save yourself from danger.
3.
Unbreakable
will also block minion damage. Use your shield to defend a turret in case these little guys are trying to take it down.
4.Remember that
Unbreakable
also gives bonus movement speed. Use it while your roaming to get to places faster.
5. When walking into the fog of ward to either ward or check bushes, make sure your
Unbreakable
is activated. This will help you block a possible ambush, or even mind-trick your enemy into thinking that you have vision at their hiding place, forcing them to reposition.
6.
Unbreakable
will block the first damage COMPLETELY. Use it right before you are about to get hit by heavy skillshots such as
Trueshot Barrage
or
Chum The Waters
.
7. When fighting for jungle objectives, make sure to save your shield to block possible range CC such as
Encore
or
Tidal Wave
.
8.Drink one cup of milk a day and exercise those muscles. You gotta stay strong :)
