Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and sustain, as your Q outranges Briar's engage tools and E omnivamp keeps you healthy.
- Post-6 becomes more volatile as Briar's R gives her massive dive potential, but you still win if you land Q sweet spots and avoid getting chunked before the fight.
How to Trade
- Look for Q1 poke when Briar goes for CS, then immediately E away to avoid her Q dash retaliation.
- If she commits with Q, you can W behind yourself and combo Q2-Q3 as she's forced to path through your abilities.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish range advantage and force Briar to CS under tower where she can't easily engage.
- After 6, maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to limit her all-in angles while keeping minions to block her Q dashes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E aggressively for poke as it's your only escape tool against Briar's multiple gap closers.
- Never fight in large minion waves where her Q can reset multiple times, as this negates your range advantage and gives her free sustain.
