Read from Janna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Braum.
This is Janna's own plan; across 3,428 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Janna | Braum's Q is dodgeable and his stun needs four hits — you lead early. |
| Level 2 | Janna | Longer-range W lets you poke outside his engage at level 2. |
| Level 3 | Braum | Q-forward with E shield lets him walk you down at level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Braum | His passive-stun setup pressures you through level 4 pre-ult. |
| Level 6 | Janna | Monsoon at 6 knocks his engage off before the stun stacks. |
| First item | Janna | First-item shields out-sustain his flat poke. |
| Two+ items | Janna | Late AoE disengage beats his single-target engage. |
Levels 1-2 you hold the edge: Braum's Q is a dodgeable projectile and his passive stun needs four separate hits to proc, so he can't threaten a burst. Zone with your longer-range W and keep Q for peel, punishing his short engage range while you poke freely. His poke is a dodgeable projectile and his stun needs four separate hits, so break the count by moving your carry after two. Shield the chip rather than answering it. Keep the tornado charged for his approach, and use the movement speed to reposition rather than to chase.
