Playing as Briar

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Only frenzy to kill

    Cast Blood Frenzy (W) only when you want to end the fight: you charge the nearest enemy, champions first, without choosing your target.

  2. Save your bite to heal

    Save Snack Attack (W) for when you're low: your next auto deals damage based on the target's missing health and heals you for part of it.

  3. Charge your scream near a wall

    Fully charge Chilling Scream (E) near a wall: the scream then knocks enemies back, and those who hit the wall are stunned.

  4. Fly to your prey

    Cast Certain Death (R) across the map to engage or catch a target: you fly to the first champion hit and chase them until they die.

Playing against Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
