How to Beat Thresh as Braum (Support)

While statistically Braum is slightly stronger than Thresh as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Braum deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Thresh deals primarily magic damage (72.56%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Braum is superior vision control (ranked 31st among supports) (versus 39th for Thresh), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.7 versus 2.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Braum Support versus Thresh Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Braum player to maintain constant pressure on Thresh, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Braum tips:

  • Work with your allies to stack Concussive Blows, encourage them to basic attack marked targets.
  • Leap in front of squishy friends and shield them from projectiles with Unbreakable.
  • Glacial Fissure leaves a powerful slow zone, position it well to split teamfights and slow the enemy approach.

Playing Against Thresh

  • Thresh's Death Sentence has a long cast time. Watch for the cast to begin to take evasive actions.
  • Intentionally breaking a wall of The Box can allow a vulnerable ally to escape unscathed.
  • Thresh relies on collecting souls for a portion of his defense and damage. Try punishing him when he moves to collect them.
