Who to play with Braum — best team synergies

The Relentless Storm (P) makes him swing faster and faster, and every hit of his counts toward your marks: Concussive Blows (P) reaches the fourth while he is still biting. And Glacial Fissure (R) is the area control his page says he never brings.

Relentless Assault (P) makes him hit faster and faster, and the four marks fill from your hits combined: the stun lands halfway through the duel. Counter Strike (E) adds its own right after, and the target never finds a free moment.

Bellows Breath (W) leaves Brittle on the target for 3 seconds and stretches every following piece of crowd control by 30%: your fourth mark and the Glacial Fissure (R) knock-up both run noticeably longer. Two front lines like that do not move for one engage.

You mark, slow and knock up but you kill nobody on your own; with no pull he reaches nobody, because Apprehend (E) is all the range he has. Winter's Bite (Q) keeps the target in place until Noxian Guillotine (R) executes it.

Soul Unbound (E) always snaps his spirit back on a fixed timer and that is when they punish him, his page says: Stand Behind Me (W) drops you in front of him at exactly that moment, armour and magic resist included. The damage is his job.

Worth it only if the other three bring the damage, because between the two of you nobody dies: in exchange, neither does your carry. Stand United (R) shields her from anywhere on the map and Shadow Dash (E) taunts the diver you were already slowing.

A dash or a piece of crowd control is all it takes to break Infinite Duress (R) - unless the target has just taken the fourth Concussive Blows (P) mark. And the two of you fill that fourth mark together, at the attack speed Blood Hunt (W) hands him.

His stated gap is that mobile targets dash away before Audacious Charge (E) connects: Winter's Bite (Q) slows them enough for him to land it. Then the three hits of Three Talon Strike (Q), the third of which knocks up, close the four marks together with yours.

Your limit is that you lock targets down without killing them: Savagery (Q) always crits after an Unseen Predator (P) leap, and that is exactly the damage you lack. If the leap does not finish it his page says he has nothing left - that is where Unbreakable (E) points at him.

Absolute Zero (R) is a long channel that, his page says, is beaten by walking away: nobody walks away from a line Glacial Fissure (R) has just knocked up and left slowed. And Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) only asks for the time you buy in front of him.

Lamb's Respite (R) gives three seconds in which nobody inside it dies: with your body in front and Unbreakable (E) raised, those three seconds win the teamfight instead of postponing it. And the 25% attack speed from Dance of Arrows (Q) fills your marks by itself.

Nobody fills the four marks like he does, but he is also the jungler with the least crowd control and the lowest win rate in this group: worth it when the game runs long and you can keep him alive, not when you need someone to open fights for you.

Glacial Fissure (R) sends a whole line airborne and Last Breath (R) hooks onto anyone an ally launches: it is the damage you flatly do not have, multiplied by however many the fissure caught. Wind Wall (W) meanwhile stops the poke that keeps you away.

The 1.5-second taunt on Shield of Durand (W) holds still the target you need to hit four times: it is the condition Concussive Blows (P) asks for and almost nobody grants you. And while he charges it, stationary and exposed, you are the wall in front.

The 50% bonus on Vision of Empire (W) demands a target that is already locked down, and you offer him two kinds: the fourth Concussive Blows (P) mark and the line Glacial Fissure (R) lifts. He never has to risk Nevermove (E), the skillshot he whiffs most.

He is C tier, but the link is exact: whoever stands still under your four marks takes all three Organic Deconstruction (P) stacks without dodging anything, and from there Life Form Disintegration Ray (R) turns into true damage. You are what lets him channel.

Worth it if your mid plays for rotations: Destiny (R) drops him into the bot lane and the Gold Card from Pick a Card (W) pins the target for 1.25 seconds, exactly the window your four marks need. If he just farms mid instead, it changes nothing.

His damage only exists while he stands still at maximum range, and his page says that without a team peeling for him he never gets to: you are that team. In exchange the fast hits from Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) close your four marks on their own.

Concussive Blows (P) asks for four close-range hits on the same target, and the permanent slow from Frost Shot (P) is what stops that target from leaving your reach. Then Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) opens from off-screen the fight you cannot open yourself.

Winter's Bite (Q) deals damage while it slows, and on a target an ally has just hit Deadly Flourish (W) becomes a real root instead of a poke shot: that hold hands you the hits your four marks are missing. And you cover the Curtain Call (R) channel.

Every target your four marks lock down turns into gold: League of Draven (P) converts that kill into Adoration stacks to cash in. And he has to stay in the middle catching axes, which is exactly the spot Stand Behind Me (W) lands you on.

His page says ganks and lane pressure push his whole plan back: Dragon Practice (P) only needs quiet repetitions, and Unbreakable (E) eats the poke that denies them. Do not expect an aggressive lane, though: you fill the marks by yourself.
