Braum, better known as the Heart of the Freljord, is now available for purchase in Riot Game's popular MOBA, League of Legends.

Arguably the best multiplayer online battle arena game in the world, League of Legends is always getting updates, from balance tweaks to new game modes and, from time to time, a fresh face for players to take into battle.

Now it's time for a face sporting a rather swanky mustache to make an appearance, in the form of Braum, a heavily armored support champion ready to protect his team from everything.

"The people's champion has come to the Fields of Justice. Braum is here," the post on the League of Legends website reads, signaling that users can swarm the League of Legends store and unlock the new champion, along with a great-looking Dragonslayer skin.

Braum benefits from some interesting abilities, most of which revolve around mitigating or completely negating incoming damage to him and his allies, some crowd control (stuns and slows) and an intervening move that allows him to protect an ally by jumping between the target and the nearest enemy.

Riot Games has also released a Champion Spotlight video featuring Braum, showcasing his arsenal of abilities and highlighting how he can turn the tide of battle.
