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 Shaco

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Gank from behind

    Gank with Deceive (Q) and come in behind your target: Backstab (passive) empowers hits from behind, and your first invisible auto becomes a critical strike.

  2. Finish with Two-Shiv Poison

    Save Two-Shiv Poison (E) to finish: the shiv deals much more damage to a target below 30% health.

  3. Trick them with your clone

    Cast Hallucinate (R) to bait their spells: you briefly disappear and reappear with a clone, which explodes on death into three boxes that fear.

  4. Trap their escape routes

    Place Jack In The Box (W) on their escape routes or at a camp entrance: invisible after a delay, it fears champions who come near, then shoots them.

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.
