Xerath vs Braum

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) to poke and zone Braum and his ADC, forcing them under turret.
Control brush to deny Braum passive stacks and reduce his engage angles.
Prioritize ADC access by maintaining lane space and preparing for follow-up after your (E) stun.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) poke layered with (W) slow to safely pressure Braum and his ADC.
Hold (E) to peel Braum's engage or to guarantee a stun when Braum commits (W).
Deny Braum brush control to limit his repositioning and passive stacking opportunities.

Danger windows

Respect (E) shield timing to avoid wasting poke on blocked projectiles.
Beware Braum's passive stun stacks combined with his ADC's follow-up for all-in threats.
Avoid extended fights near brush when (R) is available to disengage or engage.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by coordinating (E) stun with your ADC's engage or poke.
Use early wave pressure to deny Braum's ADC safe positioning for passive stacks.
Ward river and tri-brush to prevent Braum's roams and protect your ADC.

Power spikes

Level 2: Your (E) stun enables strong poke windows before Braum unlocks full peel with (E).
Level 6: Your (R) offers long-range follow-up and pick potential, use with ADC for all-ins.
First completed mana/AP item: Increase poke damage to pressure Braum's shield and force cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into denied ADC positioning and forced recalls for dragon setup.
Use (R) ult with ADC follow-up to secure picks or force Braum to waste (E) defensively.
Maintain river vision and crash waves to enable safe roams and objective control.

Tip: For Xerath vs Braum, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
