What makes Briar dangerous
Briar's W sends her into a frenzy that attacks the nearest target with huge lifesteal, her E channels a scream that heals and can stun into walls, and her ultimate flies across the map and forces her into a kill-or-die dive. She heals absurd amounts mid-fight and never disengages.
How to play against Briar
- 1Grievous Wounds is mandatory — her healing doubles her effective HP.
- 2In frenzy she attacks the NEAREST unit: body-block with tanks or pets to redirect her.
- 3Hard CC during her E channel or frenzy resets her all-in.
- 4Her ult is a coin-flip dive — spread so the landing hits one person, then collapse.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Grievous Wounds cripples her entire design.
- ✓Frenzy is exploitable — she chases whoever is closest, even a tank.
- ✓No real disengage: a failed dive is a death sentence.
- ✓Falls over to kiting and disengage comps.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Briar's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Maldición carmesíLos ataques y habilidades de Briar aplican acumulaciones de sangrado, lo que la cura parte del daño que infligen. Dominada por un hambre insaciable, obtiene curación adicional según la vida que le falte, pero no cuenta con regeneración de vida de forma innata.
Strong: no health regen but huge lifesteal on everything she does. Weak: Grievous Wounds turns her into paper — rush it.
Q
A la yugularBriar se lanza contra una unidad y golpea a los enemigos con una patada voladora (de la muerte), los aturde y destroza su armadura.
Strong: a leaping stun that opens every trade and gank. Weak: short range and her main initiation — after it she's committed.
W
Frenesí sanguinario / Otro mordisquitoBriar se lanza hacia delante y destruye su picota, lo que la hace entrar en Frenesí sanguinario y perseguir sin descanso al enemigo más cercano (priorizando a los campeones). Mientras se encuentra en este estado, obtiene velocidad de ataque y de movimiento adicionales, y sus ataques infligen daño en área en torno a su objetivo.Briar puede reactivar esta habilidad durante el frenesí para darle un mordisco a su objetivo con su próximo ataque, lo que inflige daño adicional en base a la vida que le falte a la unidad y cura a Briar según el daño que inflija.
Strong: frenzy — bonus speed, damage and lifesteal on the nearest target. Weak: she attacks the NEAREST unit mindlessly — feed her a tank or pet.
E
Alarido escalofrianteBriar se concentra, pone fin a Frenesí sanguinario y canaliza su energía para proferir un poderoso alarido que inflige daño y ralentiza a los enemigos. Mientras canaliza, recibe menos daño y recupera parte de su vida máxima. Al canalizar por completo el alarido, este empuja a los enemigos, inflige daño adicional y aturde a los que choquen contra muros.
Strong: a channelled scream that heals, slows and stuns into walls. Weak: the channel is interruptible and the knockback needs a wall behind you.
R
Final sangrientoBriar lanza la gema hemolítica de su picota, que marca al primer campeón golpeado y lo convierte en su presa. Después, corre directa hacia él, aterroriza a los enemigos cercanos al alcanzar a su objetivo y entra en un estado de hemomanía incontrolable. Perseguirá a su presa hasta la muerte, con los efectos de Frenesí sanguinario y armadura, resistencia mágica, robo de vida y velocidad de movimiento adicionales.
Strong: a cross-map dive that fears everyone around the first target hit. Weak: kill-or-die by design — spread out, peel the landing, and she dies in your team.
Itemization
Rush Grievous Wounds (Executioner's/Bramble). Redirect her frenzy onto tanks, CC the channels, and kite — she can't leave a fight she started.
