Optional Summoner Spells

Heal

Heal

Good option if you want extra healing and sustain for your team. Provides movement speed burst and can be used in clutch situations.

Exhaust

Exhaust

Defensive option. Exhaust for more peel and protection against enemy divers and assassins.

Ignite

Ignite

Offensive option and fun button to press. Reduces your going-in potential, but adds some damage and Grievious Wounds for enemy healing. Good to score some kills early.

Optional Runes

Grasp of the Undying

Grasp of the Undying

Grasp of the Undying is a solid alternative. You become more tanky over time as your HP grows, you get some sustain and you get some damage as well.

Presence of Mind

Presence of Mind

Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of Mind.

Demolish

Demolish

If you are into taking objectives, you can consider taking Demolish rune. Usually it is worth it and lets you push turrets quicker. Utility slash team oriented option.

How it works

  1. As Braum playing a Support, your main goal is to soak up damage while protecting your carries.
  2. You offer excellent crowd control and peel, making it harder for the enemy team to reach your backline.
  3. Adapt your playstyle depending on your team's needs: either engage and start fights, or sit back and peel for your carries.
  4. Make sure to counter enemy team. Itemize defensively based on the main damage type of the enemy team.

Playstyle

  1. 🎭

    Identify your role: engage, peel, or frontline.

  2. 🛡️

    Soak damage and protect your carries. Use CC and utility to control fights.

  3. 🧰

    Adapt items to counter the enemy team.

How to play

  1. Identify your role within the team (engage, peel, frontline)

Adaptation

  1. If your team needs engage, go Shurelya's Battlesong.
  2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
  3. If your team needs peel, go Knight's Vow and Locket of the Iron Solari.
  4. Knight's Vow is a surprisingly good item. Buy it and use it if you have carry or bruiser/fighter who is doing well.
  5. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Buffing your team

  1. Bandlepipes is a great utility item for engaging and buffing your auto attackers when you CC enemies.

Runes

  1. Remember that you need to keep close to your allies to trigger Guardian.
  2. Be careful to not waste Guardian randomly. Try keeping it for when you or your ally are about to take some serious damage.

Tips and Tricks

Riot

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