Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight only if you land Q to blind Briar before she engages, then kite with W active and auto-attack spacing — if she gets on top of you without the blind landing, her W sustain and burst will overwhelm you at close range.
From level 6, you can win a 1v1 if you pre-place E mushrooms in the fight zone, force Briar to walk through them, and maintain max range while Q is on cooldown, but if she gaps close with her E and sticks to you, your damage output is too low to outduel her W healing.

Briar typically starts Red Buff side, clears Red > Raptors > Krugs or Red > Wolves > Blue > Gromp, prioritizing a fast level 3 with high sustain, then looks for an early gank or scuttle contest around 3:15–3:30 — she favors aggressive early pathing because her W gives her enough sustain to skip backing.

You should not invade Briar early; her W sustain and close-range burst make 1v1 fights in her jungle extremely dangerous for you before she has used her abilities on camps.
If you want to apply pressure, the optimal play is to counter-jungle her opposite side camps after she commits to a gank or scuttle, around 4:00–5:00, taking her Blue or Red while she is occupied elsewhere.

Do not rely solely on Q blind to win trades — Briar's W healing is substantial enough that even a blinded Briar can sustain through your damage if she stays in melee range, and overcommitting to a fight without E mushrooms pre-placed will result in you dying to her raw stat advantage in a prolonged skirmish.
