Braum vs Zilean

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (E) to block Zilean's double bomb poke and protect your ADC from burst damage.
Control brush to deny Zilean's setup for double bomb stuns and limit his engage angles.
Engage with (R) only when your ADC can immediately follow up to punish Zilean's low mobility.

Trading pattern

Mark with (Q) and let your ADC stack passive before using (E) to block Zilean's poke or revive burst.
Hold (E) to deny key double bomb damage, then counter-engage with (R) when (R) is down.
Deny Zilean brush access to reduce his hook angles and create windows for your ADC to trade safely.

Danger windows

Respect Zilean's double bomb stun combo (Q) when he controls brush or wave zones.
Avoid overextending when (R) revive is available, as burst trades become unreliable.
Watch for enemy ADC using (E) speed to kite or follow engages, increasing your ADC's vulnerability.

Early game

Prioritize level 2 push with your ADC to threaten passive stacks before Zilean pairs (Q) and (E).
Hold brush control to prevent Zilean from landing double bombs and force him to use (W) defensively.
Coordinate with ADC to crash wave early, enabling safe roams or vision setup around dragon.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) plus passive threat; contest wave only if ADC can follow your engage.
Level 3 adds (E) for peel and poke block; use it to punish Zilean's cooldowns and protect ADC.
Level 6 (R) enables strong engage or disengage; combine with ADC follow-up and river vision for dragon control.

Win conditions

Protect your ADC by timing (E) to block double bombs and enemy burst, enabling safe extended trades.
Deny enemy ADC positioning by controlling brush and wave state to limit Zilean's poke and speed windows.
Use (R) engage with confirmed ADC follow-up to secure dragon vision and force favorable 2v2 fights.
