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
진홍빛 저주브라이어는 기본 공격과 스킬로 중첩 가능한 출혈 효과를 적용하며, 출혈 피해의 일정 비율만큼 체력을 회복합니다. 늘 허기진 브라이어는 잃은 체력에 비례해 체력 회복량이 증가하는 대신 기본 체력 재생이 없습니다.
Strong: no health regen but huge lifesteal on everything she does. Weak: Grievous Wounds turns her into paper — rush it.
Q
짜릿한 돌격브라이어가 대상에게 도약 후 (고통의) 뒤꿈치로 적을 가격해 기절시키고 방어구를 깨부숩니다.
Strong: a leaping stun that opens every trade and gank. Weak: short range and her main initiation — after it she's committed.
W
핏빛 광분 / 식욕 폭발브라이어가 앞으로 도약해 족쇄를 깨부수고 핏빛 광분 상태에 들어가 가장 가까운 적을 가차 없이 추격합니다. (챔피언 우선) 핏빛 광분 상태에서 공격 속도와 이동 속도가 상승하며 기본 공격으로 대상 주변에 피해를 입힙니다.이 스킬을 핏빛 광분 상태에서 재사용하면 다음 기본 공격 시 적을 베어 먹어 대상이 잃은 체력에 비례해 추가 피해를 입히고 피해량에 비례해 체력을 회복합니다.
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
오싹한 비명브라이어가 마음을 다잡아 핏빛 광분 상태에서 벗어나고, 힘을 모아 강력한 비명을 내질러 적에게 피해를 입히고 둔화시킵니다. 충전 중에는 받는 피해가 감소하고 최대 체력의 일정 비율만큼 회복합니다. 완전히 충전된 비명은 적을 뒤로 밀치고, 벽에 부딪히는 적에게 추가 피해를 입히며 기절시킵니다.
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
불가항력적 죽음브라이어가 족쇄의 혈석을 발로 찬 다음, 혈석이 첫 번째로 적중한 챔피언을 먹잇감으로 지정하고 대상을 향해 날아갑니다. 착지 시 다른 주변 적을 공포에 빠트리고 피의 갈증에 완전히 사로잡힙니다. 이후 먹잇감을 죽을 때까지 쫓으며, 핏빛 광분 효과와 방어력, 마법 저항력, 생명력 흡수, 이동 속도를 추가로 얻습니다.
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.
