Braum
GameplayBraum is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- Stand Behind Me can be used on allied minions but not on wards nor traps.
- If there are no nearby enemy champions, Braum will dash to land up-to 150 units on the far side of his target.
- The maximum dash range without enemy champions present is ~650. An enemy champion on the far side of the ally will allow Braum to dash a total of up-to 800 units.
- If Unbreakable is cast during the dash, Winter's Bite and Glacial Fissure may also be cast.
- If the dash is interrupted, neither Braum nor his ally receive the bonus resistances.
- Definitions
- Incoming: Damage sources coming from somewhere facing the shield. Those coming from different sides are not affected.
- Projectiles: Sped up entities not classified as a unit ( champions, minions, monsters, etc.)
- Intercepting: A projectile hitting Braum because he is standing in front of the intended target. In addition to being redirected, an intercepted projectile is also destroyed after hitting Braum (although this is only applicable to pass-through projectiles).
- Unbreakable's full damage reduction can block multiple instances of damage if they're dealt at the same time.
- Moving units do not count for being blocked by Unbreakable.
- Champion summoned units are not classified as units until they hit the ground (e.g. Sapling Toss) and thus will interact with Unbreakable whilst en route.
- Champion summoned units are not classified as units until they hit the ground (e.g.
- Projectiles whose effects trigger on collision will still trigger - dealing damage, applying debuffs, creating area of effects and marking the target as 'hit'.
- Projectiles that create an area of effect upon their collision will still affect other units and not only Braum.
- Projectiles that cannot hit Braum or his allies (such as an enemy Prismatic Barrier) will not be intercepted.[2]
- Soraka's Starcall's Rejuvenation projectile is however blocked.
- The damage reduction will affect any source of damage whose origin is in front of the shield. This includes:
- All intercepted projectiles.
- Melee and non-projectile-based ranged attacks.
- Instantaneous direction-targeted abilities (e.g. Arcanopulse, Final Spark, Lifeform Disintegration Ray.)
- Instantaneously-placed ground-targeted abilities (e.g. Lay Waste, Pillar of Flame, Rupture) relative to the ability's center and not the caster's.
- Point-blank area-of-effects (e.g. Ground Slam, Tantrum, Time Bomb not targeted at Braum)
- Instantaneous targeted abilities (e.g. Malefic Visions, Transfusion, Time Bomb targeted at Braum) and AoE DoT (e.g. Spirit Fire, Tormented Shadow, Poison Trail).
- The damage reduction only benefits Braum.
- Damage over time is calculated per tick but the full damage reduction will still only apply to a single tick.
- If the damage mitigated by Unbreakable exceeds a minimum threshold it is represented with floating text similar to the damage mitigated by shields ('-X')
- This floating text is always shown for the single fully-reduced damage source.
- Braum's facing direction is in the direction he's moving in.
- If Braum is protected by a spell shield, both it and the one-time-use full damage reduction can be consumed by a single blockable spell.
- The one-time-use full damage reduction will not be consumed if the damage source is nothing but true damage.
- The one-time-use full damage reduction will not be consumed if the damage source is nothing but
- Unbreakable will grant assist credit if the enemy whose damaging projectile is blocked from is killed within 10 seconds.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

Blessed with massive biceps and an even bigger heart, Braum is a beloved hero of the Freljord. Every mead hall north of Frostheld toasts his legendary strength, said to have felled a forest of oaks in a single night, and punched an entire mountain into rubble. Bearing an enchanted vault door as his shield, Braum roams the frozen north sporting a mustachioed smile as big as his muscles—a true friend to all those in need.
