Playing as Quinn
Tips to maximize your impact
- Vault off the melee charging you
Cast Vault (E) on the melee champion charging you: you leap back after the hit, and your target is slowed and marked by Harrier (passive).
- Auto every marked target
Auto every target marked by Harrier (passive): your first auto on them deals bonus damage, and Heightened Senses (W) then gives you speed.
- Trade from range against melee
Against a melee champion, trade from range: Blinding Assault (Q) marks them with Harrier and reduces their vision before your empowered auto.
- Roam with your R
Roam with Behind Enemy Lines (R): after a 2-second channel, you gain a lot of speed, and an auto or a spell ends the flight with an area attack.
Playing against Briar
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
