Guide to Countering Braum as Leona

Tips for Playing as Leona against Braum

Shield of Daybreak and Zenith Blade form a powerful offensive combo.

Lead the charge and mark your foes with Sunlight before your allies deal damage.

You can absorb a huge amount of damage using Eclipse, but you must stay near enemies to gain the bonus duration.

Advice to Win Against Braum

Unbreakable gives Braum extremely strong directional defense, either wait until it is down or outposition the ability.

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.
