Read from Pyke's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Braum.
This is Pyke's own plan; across 8,445 pooled games the lane is leaning Braum.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pyke | Your Q outranges Winter's Bite so you poke Braum for free at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Pyke | At level 2 you spike and chip him before he stacks passive. |
| Level 3 | Pyke | By 3 you angle hooks around his shield and keep trading up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pyke | Through 4-5 you bait his E and all-in when it's down. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Your R executes before Braum's shield or ult can peel. |
| First item | Pyke | First-item burst deletes his ADC through his single-hit shield. |
| Two+ items | Pyke | Late your roams and resets snowball past his damageless peel. |
You win the poke war early: Bone Skewer outranges Braum's Winter's Bite, so you chip him and his ADC for free while he has no way to trade back until he closes distance, which your E and grey-health sustain punish. He wants his stack count and you want the first hook, so refuse the auto exchanges and play the angles instead. Charge from the brush, hold the dash-stun for his approach, and let the grey health carry you through the chip rather than backing off early.
