Every figure shows its source. Where a source is missing, the number is a placeholder — and it is never written as fact.

Ability details

  • Concussive Blows

    Braum's basic attacks apply Concussive Blows. Once the first stack is applied, ally basic attacks also stack Concussive Blows. Upon reaching 4 stacks, the target is stunned and takes magic damage. For the next few seconds they cannot receive new stacks, but take bonus magic damage from Braum's attacks.

    Passive — never cast

  • Winter's Bite

    Braum propels freezing ice from his shield, slowing and dealing magic damage.Applies a stack of Concussive Blows.

  • Stand Behind Me

    Cost 40 ManaCooldown 12/11/10/9/8sRange 650

  • Unbreakable

  • Glacial Fissure

    Braum slams the ground, knocking up enemies nearby and in a line in front of him. A fissure is left along the line that slows enemies.

Counter plan — how to beat Braum

  • Build percentage damage — flat penetration falls off against the stats it stacks

  • Track the roam — it is strongest where the enemy jungler already is

  • Punish the cooldown — Braum is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 3/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Methodology

Data window
512,340 games on patch 26.16, Ranked Solo/Duo, NA. Last refreshed 20 Aug 2026.
Rank aggregation
Emerald+ and above, pooled. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under the lanes it actually plays, not the one class it belongs to — which is why several appear in two.
Counters
A matchup, not a tier gap: how this champion does into that one specifically, over that pairing’s own games.
Minimum sample
The confidence indicator beside every rate is driven by how much of the window this champion appears in. A low reading means read the figure loosely, not that it is wrong.
Why a build is not a cause
The best-scoring build is the one the best-placed players happened to take. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying those items caused the wins.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, lanes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates are derived samples — Riot publishes none of them, and nothing on this page presents one as measured.
