| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Rakan | Braum has no burst, so your range and mobility win the level-1 exchange. |
| Level 2 | Rakan | Your level-2 W knock-up opens cleanly against his single-target slow. |
| Level 3 | Rakan | At 3 your combo forces his reactive cooldowns before he wants to spend them. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rakan | Through 4-5 you engage after his Q is down and punish the window. |
| Level 6 | Rakan | Quickness at 6 dashes over his slow R and past his E peel. |
| First item | Rakan | First-item mobility lets you dictate every trade against a reactive kit. |
| Two+ items | Rakan | Late, your proactive engage keeps the initiative over his pure peel. |
You win 1-2 comfortably: Braum is a reactive peeler with no burst, so your level-2 W knock-up is a clean opener he can only answer with a single Q-slow. Dash in after his Q is used, land your trade, and dash out before he can stack his passive on you. He simply can't punish your mobility.
