Briar's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Crimson Curse (P)

Briar's attacks and abilities apply a stacking bleed that heals her for a portion of the damage it deals. Perpetually hungry, she gains increased healing based on her missing Health, but lacks innate Health Regeneration.

Playing as Jax

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start trades with Counter Strike

    Start your trades with Counter Strike (E): you dodge autos and take less area damage, and each dodged auto adds damage to the stunning counterattack.

  2. Look for long trades

    Look for long trades: each consecutive auto increases your attack speed thanks to Relentless Assault (passive).

  3. Ward hop to escape

    To escape, place a ward and jump to it with Leap Strike (Q): it can target any unit or ward, allied or enemy.

  4. Activate your R up close

    Activate Grandmaster-at-Arms (R) up close: it only grants armor and magic resist if it hits a champion, and your bonus hits then land every other auto.

Playing against Briar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Respect her leap

    Keep your distance when Head Rush (Q) is up: her leap stuns you and lowers your armor and magic resist for the follow-up.

  2. Keep away during her frenzy

    When she casts Blood Frenzy (W), move away if you're squishy, or stand between her and your carries if you're tanky: she charges the nearest enemy.

  3. Don't fight with your back to a wall

    Don't stand with your back to a wall when she charges Chilling Scream (E): fully charged, it knocks you back and stuns you if you hit the wall.

  4. Dodge her gem

    Dodge the Certain Death (R) gem by stepping aside: it marks the first champion hit, and Briar then chases them until they die.
