This is Braum's own plan; across 2,607 pooled games the lane is leaning Braum.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Brand's level-1 W-into-Q poke out-ranges your short Winter's Bite entirely. |
| Level 2 | Brand | At level 2 his ablaze Sear stun chunks you and your ADC with no answer. |
| Level 3 | Brand | By 3 his full poke combo dictates the lane while you can't close distance. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Levels 4-5 he keeps zoning you with ranged burst you can't trade back. |
| Level 6 | Brand | His level-6 Pyroclasm out-damages your kit and controls the fight. |
| First item | Brand | With first item his detonation DPS out-values your shield and peel. |
| Two+ items | Brand | Late his AoE burst out-ranges and out-scales your reactive frontline. |
Brand out-ranges and out-pokes you from level 1. His Pillar of Flame into Sear stun combo chunks you and your carry while you have no way to reach him, so soak minimal poke, dodge his W circle, and lean on your ADC to answer his range. He out-ranges you and his rotation punishes anyone who stands still, so hold the shield toward him and keep your carry behind you. Mark him only when he has stepped forward to cast. Your stun needs four hits, so pick exchanges your ADC can finish rather than starting them alone.
