Read from Braum's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nautilus.
This is Braum's own plan; across 23,109 pooled games the lane is leaning Braum.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nautilus | Nautilus's level-1 hook and shield out-brawl your early trades. |
| Level 2 | Nautilus | At 2 his Q-plus-W all-in beats your engage tools. |
| Level 3 | Nautilus | At 3 his passive root and shield keep the lane bully edge. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nautilus | At 4-5 his sustained CC and tank stats still out-duel you. |
| Level 6 | Nautilus | At 6 Depth Charge is an unstoppable chain your Fissure can't cancel. |
| First item | Nautilus | With his first item his hook-and-shield brawl still out-values your peel. |
| Two+ items | Braum | Late, your Unbreakable blocks his hooks and your peel out-scales his engage. |
Nautilus out-engages you all through the early game: his Dredge Line hook, passive root autos, and Titan's Wrath shield let him win every level 1-5 all-in, so body-block hooks with minions and never walk into Q range. A hook into a passive root chains long before four hits can land, so plant yourself in front of your carry and hold the shield on the line. Never open. Once his hook is spent, mark him and let your ADC turn the survived engage into a trade you actually win.
