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 Wukong

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his W

    Trade after Warrior Trickster (W): it's his best escape, and it has a 22 to 18 second cooldown.

  2. Ignore the still clone

    When Warrior Trickster (W) turns him invisible, ignore the figure standing still: that's the clone, and the real Wukong just dashed off to the side.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Cyclone (R), spread out from your allies: he spins in the middle of your team and knocks every nearby enemy into the air, twice.

  4. Escape after his second Cyclone

    If you have a way to escape, wait for his second Cyclone (R) to end: the spell can be recast once, and each spin knocks nearby enemies into the air again.
