Unseen Threat (P)

Nearby enemies that are Isolated from their allies are marked.

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 Kha'Zix

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay near an ally

    Stay near an ally: alone, Unseen Threat (passive) marks you as isolated, and Taste Their Fear (Q) hits you much harder.

  2. Fight back if his leap misses

    If he leaps in without a kill, fight back: Leap (E) has a 20 to 12 second cooldown, which a takedown only resets once the spell is evolved.

  3. Ward his paths

    Ward his paths: out of sight, Unseen Threat (passive) empowers his next auto against a champion, which damages and slows.
