Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Briar's superior sustain from W and higher base damage on Q.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R engage potential, but Briar's R can match your all-in threat.
How to Trade
- You want to poke with Q3 tornado from max range then immediately back off to avoid Briar's W heal trades.
- Only commit to extended trades with E when you have a clear health advantage or jungle assistance.
Wave Control
- You should push waves early to prevent Briar from sustaining freely with W on minions, but avoid overextending without vision.
- After 6, look to freeze near your tower to set up R engages when Briar steps up.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must not trade in extended fights without your E safety net, as Briar's W sustain will out-heal your damage.
- Never use R aggressively when Briar has R available, as her untargetability can completely negate your engage.
