Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and wave control, as Briar struggles to engage without her R.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as Briar's R gives her gap-closing potential, but you still maintain advantage with proper positioning and E usage.
How to Trade
- Use Q to poke and farm while maintaining distance, then look for E-W-Q combos when Briar tries to engage with W.
- Never trade in melee range as Briar's passive healing and W damage will favor her in extended fights.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish lane priority and roam timing, but transition to freezing or slow pushing when Briar hits 6.
- Keep the wave closer to your side post-6 to have escape routes when she looks for R engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E carelessly for poke as it's your only reliable escape tool against Briar's all-ins.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or walking too close to walls where Briar can surprise you with W or R angles.
