Why Guardian
Braum naturally spends a lot of time near his teammates thanks to his [W] and [E]. The shield Provided by Guardian allows you and your AD Carry to absorb a bit of damage before you start blocking with [E].
Why Font of Life
Between his **Passive**, **[Q]**, and **[R]** Braum has a number of means of marking enemies for healing with Font of Life.
Why Conditioning
Conditioning on Braum makes you a mid-game front-line monster, able to block and absorb an incredible amount of damage for your team, and synergizes well with your [W].
Why Overgrowth
Overgrowth's bonus health scaling is a great multiplier in defensive stats when paired with Conditioning. The extra bit of health will allow you to block and absorb more for your team.
WhyBiscuit Delivery
Biscuit Delivery is a fantastic rune choice that will allow you to potentially take aggressive lane trade/duels while still being able to sustain afterward.
WhyMagical Footwear
Magical Footwear is an interesting rune choice in that it can often be seen as a raw value of 350g allowing you to invest that into other items.
