Read from Zyra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Braum.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | Level 1 favors you: Braum's only poke is a slow, dodgeable Q while your seeds outrange him. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | Level 2 is yours because the E-seed burst punishes his walk-ups and he can't trade back. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | Level 3 stays yours as your constant seed chip beats his mana-hungry, peel-oriented kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zyra | Levels 4-5 favor you since you avoid his passive stun stacks as a ranged poker and out-poke him. |
| Level 6 | Zyra | Level 6 is yours: Stranglethorns is a stronger anti-engage than his single-target knockup peel. |
| First item | Zyra | First item favors you as Liandry's/Blackfire poke angles around his one-direction Unbreakable shield. |
| Two+ items | Zyra | 2+ items stays yours because your plant zone flanks his shield and out-DPSes his defensive kit. |
You own levels 1-3. Braum is a peel-focused tank whose only ranged poke is the slow, dodgeable Winter's Bite, so stand at range and chip him with seeds every walk-up. At level 2 your E-seed burst punishes him hard and he has nothing to trade back with. Watch his passive — four autos or a Q proc stuns — but as a ranged support you rarely feed him the stacks, so play around minions and poke freely. He has to reach melee for his stack count, so seeded ground makes the approach itself expensive. Hold the root for the moment he commits, let the plants punish the walk, and keep your carry moving so his own count never actually finishes.
