Why it works
- Braum's shield. His E raises his shield in one direction for several seconds and intercepts all projectiles.
- Braum slows. His Q slows and applies stunning hits; his W jumps to an ally and gives them armor and magic resistance.
- Lucian pressures. His E dashes him a short distance; his W marks the enemy and his Q pierces a target.
- Braum's R. It knocks nearby enemies into the air and opens a fissure that slows them.
Weak points: Long-range poke and engages with crowd control; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
