Read from Braum's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nami.
This is Braum's own plan; across 8,010 pooled games the lane is leaning Braum.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Nami's level-1 bubble and W poke out-trade your early presence. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At 2 her heal-and-empower trade pattern keeps her ahead in the poke war. |
| Level 3 | Nami | At 3 her E on-hit and W sustain still out-value your walk-ups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even at 4-5: your Unbreakable can absorb her poke, leveling trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Even at 6: her Tidal Wave sets up fights but your Fissure answers it. |
| First item | Braum | With your first item Concussive Blows opens a stun-based all-in window. |
| Two+ items | Nami | Late, Nami's disengage and sustained healing out-scale your single-target CC. |
Nami wins the poke war at levels 1-3: her bubble threat, W bounce heals, and E empowered autos let her out-trade you repeatedly, so play behind minions and only trade when her Q is on cooldown. Her bubble, her bounce and her empowered autos out-trade you through the early levels, so hold the shield and stop contesting. Your carry farms while you hold the line. Mark her the moment the bubble has missed, and let your ADC finish the stack before her heal can cover it.
