Scuttle Contest

  • You lose early scuttle fights due to Briar's superior base damage and healing from her Q.
  • From level 6, you can win 1v1s if you steal her R and use it to engage on her while she's in human form, as your burst combo with stolen R can delete her before she can sustain.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Briar will likely start bot side for a faster clear, then path toward top scuttle around 3:15.
  • She typically does a full clear into scuttle, then looks for ganks on overextended lanes since her E provides strong gap closing.

Invade or Not

  • Avoid invading early as Briar's sustain and damage output in her own jungle is too strong pre-6.
  • Your optimal invade timing is post-6 when you can steal her R - look to invade her jungle when she's shown on the opposite side of the map.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to out-sustain Briar in extended fights without your R available, as her Q healing will outlast your W.
  • Avoid fighting her when she has her R up and you don't have yours to steal, as her berserk form gives her too much damage and sustain advantage.
