How to play Braum in ARAM Mayhem

Braum is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #129 of 173 champions, with a 47.6% win rate over 561,601 games. Riot rates it 3/10 for difficulty: easy to pick up when it lands on your bench.

Braum's damage is mixed (42% physical, 50% magic), which makes it awkward for the enemy team to itemize against. It soaks 66,570 damage per game and mitigates another 85,683, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't. With 53 seconds of crowd control per game it is one of the team's main sources of lockdown.

The Tank build, tank items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Heartsteel, Unending Despair and Warmog's Armor, with a 47.9% win rate over 371,326 games. On this build 53% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Braum are Armored Impact, The Boom and the Bass and BEES!!!. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by health and resistances. Skip Totentanz and Ominous Pact when you can: they do worst on Braum. A pair to look for: Ocean Soul with Weapon of Destiny.

Take Flash and Mark (94% of players). Max Q (Winter's Bite) first, then E, then W.
