Who Wins
- You win level 2 fights with Q stun setup and Caitlyn's range follow-up, but you lose level 6 all-ins if Briar successfully engages since your Q becomes harder to land on mobile targets.
- Your R becomes crucial for disengaging their burst combos or setting up picks.
Synergy & Trading
- Your best trading pattern is Q stun when Briar moves forward, immediately followed by auto-W-auto while Caitlyn follows up with headshot damage.
- Always try to Q through minions to hit multiple targets, and use W to sustain Caitlyn through their return poke damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam after establishing lane priority, typically around levels 4-6 when your Q-W combo is maxed and your R provides game-changing utility.
- Optimal timings are after successful trades that force them to recall, or when the wave is slow pushing toward them and Caitlyn can safely farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your Q on minions when Briar has W available, as you need it to interrupt her engage and protect Caitlyn from all-ins.
- Avoid roaming when the wave is in a bad state for Caitlyn, as she cannot handle 1v2 situations against Briar's sustain and engage potential.
