How to Beat Braum as Soraka (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Soraka deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Braum deals primarily magic damage (71.32%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Soraka is superior vision control (ranked 27th among supports) (versus 31st for Braum), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas.

Key aspects of the Soraka Support versus Braum Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Soraka player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Braum player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Soraka tips:

  • Soraka is a powerful ally in battle, using her strong healing to keep the party moving forward.
  • You can use Wish on your allies from across the map to save them from otherwise fatal events.
  • Equinox can be used as a powerful zoning tool to keep enemies at bay.

Playing Against Braum

  • Braum must land Winter's Bite or a basic attack to start Concussive Blows. If you get marked, exit combat range before getting hit 3 more times to avoid the stun.
  • Braum's ultimate has a long cast time, use that extra time to dodge. Walking over the frozen ground left behind will slow you, position so that you don't need to cross it.
  • Unbreakable gives Braum extremely strong directional defense, either wait until it is down or outposition the ability.
