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 Qiyana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Check her weapon's element

    Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.

  2. Back off when she changes element

    Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.

  3. Stay away from walls and the river

    Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
