Read from Brand's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Braum.
This is Brand's own plan; across 2,607 pooled games the lane is leaning Braum.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Your Q outranges Braum's Winter's Bite and you poke him freely at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Level 2 W-Q burst chunks him before he stacks his passive stun. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Level 3 your full combo out-damages his shield-and-heal peel. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Levels 4-5 your two-target burn out-values his single-target E shield. |
| Level 6 | Brand | Pyroclasm and burst punish his forward Q commit through his peel. |
| First item | Brand | First-item percent burn shreds Braum's high base resistances. |
| Two+ items | Brand | You out-scale a one-note peel tank in extended fights. |
Levels 1-2 you win: your Q outranges his slow-moving Q and you can W-poke the ADC freely, so trade whenever Braum's E shield is down and never let him land Winter's Bite into an auto to start his stun. His slow-moving poke is easy to walk out of, so answer it with the burn rotation and keep the pressure on his carry instead. Apply Blaze first so Sear stuns. His shield blocks one projectile, not the burn already ticking, so open with an auto rather than the ability.
