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 Lillia

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hit with the edge of your Q

    Hit with the edge of Blooming Blows (Q), not the center: only the outer edge adds true damage.

  2. Stack your speed, then kite

    Hit enemies with your spells and keep your distance: Blooming Blows (Q) gives you a stack of move speed on each hit, enough to kite and dodge.

  3. Start with your seed

    Start the fight from range with Swirlseed (E): it damages, slows and reveals, and if it hits nothing, it rolls on to the first enemy or wall.

  4. Mark them all before your R

    Before Lilting Lullaby (R), hit as many enemies as you can: Dream-Laden Bough (passive) marks every target of your spells, and only marked ones fall asleep.

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.
