Briar has a really hard time into Ekko, due to Ekko his melee output stats on W and R combined with Ekko his burst damage and %HP execute. —> Briar Berserking / R will lead her into Ekko W stun and Ekko R easily. Be aware of this!!!
Briar has a way stronger early game stat check than Ekko, which will fade away around Ekko R and Ekko first item / second item.
Trundle
Briar has a hard time into Trundle, due to Trundle his stat check combined with AD reduction and Magic Resist + Armor steals. Thereby Trundle has terrain on demand combined with slows.
Trundle Stops Briar’s AD + HP stack combined with Briar R resistance combination with his kit, Trundle Q chomp that removes and gains AD + Trundle R Tank / Bruiser stats counter.
Briar has a faster jungle clear speed than Trundle, especially into Aoe camps. This should be taken advantage of as Briar combined with taking Skirmishes with teammates.
Gragas
Briar has a hard time into Gragas, due to the hard lack of gap closer combined with high burst damage from Gragas.
Briar gets an easier time on level 9 W and level 6 ability - (Gragas R becomes an instant response to Briar R).
Briar and Gragas have similar jungle clear speed, Briar can contest skirmishes into Gragas —> Briar is team reliant to gain a gap closer to actually fight.
Kha'Zix
Briar has a hard time into Kha’Zix, this especially starts during Kha’Zix his R Stealth Gap Closing combined with Isolation —> Isolation can be gained by controlling Briar’s Berserking movement by Kha’Zix as well.
Thereby Q / W / R Kha’Zix Evolve will be really strong into Briar.
Briar R is a strong tool into Kha’Zix, due to its true vision gain - However this ability is hard to use and guarantee + Kha Zix W evolve and E mobility can still disengage away from it.
Zed
Briar has a difficult time Gap Closing Zed, thereby Zed can control Berserking very well with his mobility and appearance.
Briar has a way slower jungle clear speed than Zed, thereby Briar has a way stronger stat check than Zed. Briar can use this to control the early game very well before Zed reaches a few items to be even more oppressive due to Ability Haste.
Briar should be aware of Zed’s Damage level 6+ output, since Briar has a hard time dodging during Berserking —> Briar E can help mitigate a lot of it as well.
Lillia
Briar has a hard time into Lillia, due to Lillia her tank / bruiser shred kit + Movement Speed, Slow and burst damage in a Sleepy Crowd Control window.
Briar has a similar jungle clear speed that will fade away on Lillia items.
Briar has to make sure that Lillia cannot outkite her, Briar should always check on Lillia Q Movement Speed stacks —> This will become easier on lvl 6 / level 9 Briar W.
Briar level 6 will cleanse herself of Crowd Control, which should / can be done against Lillia R.
Olaf
Briar has a hard time into Olaf, due to Olaf his consistent stat check on his Q and Passive. Thereby Briar will have no escape into Olaf lvl 6.
Briar’s goal is to keep her W as execute into olaf, whenever 2 Briar W’s are possible it should be done so. before level 6 Briar can buy time with her E knockback to recover and win the duel easily on 2de W. After this it will be hard to avoid the pure 1v1 into Olaf.
Certain item spikes and dueling items will decide a lot into this matchup, Olaf his pure strength from Passive and early stats should be respected heavily.
Jax
Briar can face a difficult time into Jax, but Briar has countertools against some of it.
Briar Berserking lasts for 5 seconds, while Jax Counterstrike E lasts for 2 seconds + 1 second stun —> During this stun duration Jax can kite the last bit very easily.
However, Briar level 6 can make sure to have Berserking or/and Snack Attack windows into Jax Counterstrike E windows, Briar E can be used as a defensive / disengage tool for Jax E
Briar has a way better jungle clear than Jax, which should give Briar an extra upperhand.
Shen
Briar has an oke / bad time into Shen. Briar can match Shen in his early game, due to Shen his strong Q Damage in the start, which will enable Briar Passive a lot.
First Clear Shen Jungle wants to farm Solotarget camps, if not allowed to do so —> Briar will easily gain a lead.
Briar has a stronger jungle clear than Shen during the entire game.
Briar has to always respect Shen, his Anti-Melee kit in skirmishes + Global Shen R presence on the map —> Briar R interrupts Shen R channel.
Shaco
Briar can face a hard time into Shaco, however this can also get easier.
Overall Briar will face the hardest time into AP Shaco, due to AP Shaco being more reliant on W / R / E combined with a slow poke game style. <—> AD Shaco can still benefit from his forced crowd control and R deceive —> Briar Berserking Cleave will hit both targets +
Briar Passive and R mark allow her to see the Real Shaco after R, however Briar Berserking will be uncontrollable to get the chase into the real Shaco, unless Briar Q is in range to do so.(For W Berserking)
Briar has a faster jungle clear after the first clear, thereby she will maintain a way bigger stat check than Shaco. —> Be aware of Ignite / Smite Shaco that will reduce Briar’s statcheck by a lot.
Mordekaiser
Briar into Mordekaiser is a complex matchup, due to Mordekaiser R stat check output combined with usage during certain Briar abilities and Mordekaiser E into Briar E.
Briar and Mordekaiser have both similar jungle clear speeds.
Briar has a stronger statcheck than Mordekaiser before level 6, however Mordekaiser E will deny Gap Closer from Briar early W levels fairly easily.
Mordekaiser steals the most important stats from Briar, thereby Briar her Berserking will attack Mordekaiser automatically. Mordekaiser R wall without map terrain can be used for Briar E as well.
After Level 6 Briar and Mordekaiser have close stat checks, which can be decided by the Briar E knockback and Mordekaiser pull that prevents this from happening —> If Briar succeeds a knockback she will recover from Briar Passive and remove Mordekaiser Passive output at the same time.
Elise
Briar has quite a hard time into Elise, due to Elise her fast burst trade pattern and crowd control. On top of this Elise can wait out Briar Berserking with her Rappel.
Briar has a stronger Jungle clear speed than Elise, however Briar should still aim to counter gank Elise her snowball pressure on the map —> Briar is allowed to do so, due to her stat check strength.
Maokai
Briar has a hard time into Maokai, due to Maokai his consistent knock back Q and crowd control. Thereby Maokai is a beefy tank with amazing disengage and engage.
Briar will suffer a lot of Gap Closer into Maokai, however Briar can stat check way better than Maokai. They both have equal jungle clear speed.
Ivern
Briar can have a hard time into Ivern, due to Ivern his Q / R peel combined with supportive shields + Ivern W brushes that can deceive Briar’s Berserking decisions.
Briar has an insanely better statcheck than Ivern, however Briar has to be aware of certain kite combinations with Ivern and his teammates + shielding that will prevent Briar W(2) from being effective.
Bel'Veth
Briar has a stronger dueling kit than Bel’Veth early/mid game, due to Briar’s self healing that is pre-mitigated(Passive,W(2)) —> This allows Briar to Withstand most of Bel’Veth’s E execute damage. However… Bel’Veth Void Corals scaling, Mobility(Q+W), R infinite True Damage and first strong items can make her stronger than Briar later on in the game. Briar has a way stronger early stat check and similar jungle clear speed as Bel’Veth.Recommended to contest early Heralds into Bel’Veth, this denies special R transformation for sieging.
Gwen
Briar has a decent time into Gwen, due to Briar having early stat checks, which will fade away on certain Gwen HP scaling power items and Gwen R.
Briar and Gwen have similar jungle clear speed and tempo.
Briar has an easy time gap closing Gwen whenever she wants, however Gwen her statcheck can become a problem combined with high burst on Gwen last R needles <—> Against Briar Snack Attack output greed.
Rumble
Briar can have a difficult time into Rumble, due to Rumble his high damage output based on enemy Max %HP + Rumble abilities that guarantee stick on Berserking Briar. However, Briar her E disengage against overheated Rumble combined with a higher stat check over all can compete with him. Thereby Rumble only has his Double E slow to stop Briar her Gap Closer.
Briar and Rumble have similar jungle clear speeds.
Neeko
Briar has an even matchup against Neeko, due to Neeko her crowd control combined with burst damage + Clone manipulation and change of Form into Briar’s Berserking from W / R and R projectile. On the other hand Briar can disengage + Damage Reduction with E and R into Neeko her engage burst and crowd control setups.
Briar will have an easier time when reaching level 9 W and level 6 R combined with more tenacity.
Briar and Neeko have a similar Jungle Clear Speed.
Talon
Briar has an even time into Talon, due to talon his burst windows and mobility against Briar her strong stat check and Briar E defensive. Briar and Talon have an equal jungle clear speed early on, which leads more to favor Talon later on. Briar has to be aware of the chase effect of Berserking into Talon his Terrain mobility, which will be easier upon getting Briar level 6. Be aware of Talon with Ignite into Briar her insane healing!!!
Nidalee
Briar has a hard time early game, but will rise up very quickly.
This is because Nidalee is a ranged champ combined with movement speed buffers and frequent leaps. Briar can still have the upper hand whenever a gap closer is given in the start. Briar levels on W (for MS) and access on R will make her time a lot easier.
However, Nidalee Leaps can cause disruption in Briar’s Berserking pathing and should taken account for, whenever Briar has a close distance with Nidalee —> Briar can move along the wall with her W(1), R and Q(hard to do + need vision).
Briar has a similar jungle clear speed as Nidalee, which will fade away over the game.
Kindred
Briar has an even matchup into Kindred, due to having a decent statcheck on early levels, combined with 2de Briar W uptime into Kindred R. Thereby Briar E and R are effective into Kindred R as well.
Briar should try to dampen Kindred from Mark gains on her ally marked teammates and jungle camps, however Briar before levels on W might suffer Gap Closer into Kindred, and should respect this fact heavily.
Warwick
Briar has a General matchup into Warwick, Briar will lose early stat checks into Warwick, however Briar E and R both will disengage Warwick R suppression(Not easy to perform, but not hard either) Upon reaching level 6 - 9 Briar will have a better stat check than Warwick, this is due to the consistent output from Briar R Berserking combined with Execute on Briar W(2). Briar has a stronger jungle clear speed than Warwick.
Master Yi
Briar has an even matchup into Master Yi, due to the one engaging with their gap closer spell losing output. Master Yi has the response of using Meditating into Briar’s W Berserking,
which will lead Briar’s Passive into high stacks and pre-mitigated healing during meditation.
Briar should only try to gap close Master Yi without Briar Q, so Briar Q can cancel meditating during Berserking. Later on Briar R can do so as well —> Master Yi Q has to be out of range or/and on cooldown for this.
Briar has a higher stat check than Master Yi early / mid Game, thereby they both have similar jungle clear speed.
Briar will fall off later on into Master Yi his damage output and True Damage —> On-Hit tank / Bruiser slayer items / abilities.
Kayn
Briar has decent time into Kayn, Thereby Shadow Assassin and Darkin: Rhaast Kayn both have different dueling into Briar.
Formless Kayn:
Briar has a really easy time into Formless Kayn, thereby Kayn has a strong jungle clear still.
Shadow Assassin:
Briar has to be aware of Kayn his insane burst combined with Kayn R that can execute Briar without using Snack Attack to recover + Kayn his E mobility increase.
Darkin: Rhaast:
Briar has to be aware of Kayn extra CC on W combined with max Health Damage output on Q and R —> R also benefits more HP gain from Briar HP.
Aatrox
Aatrox has the perfect disengage tool before Briar hits level 6, due to Aatrox W during Briar's Berserking.(Aatrox can control Briar her movemnt into the Aatrox W effect). After more points of Briar W and Briar R it becomes harder for Aatrox to maintain his melee kite combos.
Nunu & Willump
Briar has an even matchup into Nunu, this is because Nunu his slows and peel can interfere a lot with Briar her goal —> thereby Briar has a bigger stat check and outplay into nunu abilities, due to Briar E, Q and R channel interrupt against Nunu R + withstanding most of nunu his burst, which is also in the start of the fight —> Briar Passive benefit.
Briar and Nunu have a similar Jungle clear speed, both champions benefit from high Chomp + Smite style execution.
Udyr
Briar has an even time into Udyr, due to Udyr his adaptive kit that can handle certain situations decently well —> Udyr Awakening Passive can turn him defensive into Briar’s Berserking or Force Max %HP burst or create a slow + damaging area on command.
Briar level 6 and level 9 W will have a much easier time and Gap Closer + Consistent damage into Udyr. Briar and Udyr have similar jungle clear speed during the entire game.
Sejuani
Briar has an even time into Sejuani, due to Sejuani her peel and strong short trades based on CC + %Max HP blows. Other than this Briar has a way stronger stat check into Sejuani. Briar and Sejuani have similar jungle clear speeds, Briar jungle clear speed becomes stronger later on.
Nocturne
Briar into Nocturne is a complex matchup, however Briar has overall the upper hand —> especially on high Briar W levels and R access.
Briar and Nocturne have similar early jungle clear speeds, Briar will get an edge of it later in the game.
Trade of spells in this matchup;
Nocturne W spell shield will most likely be used against Briar E (into Terrain) or Briar R.
Nocturne E Fear (1.25 - 2.25 sec) into the end of Berserking Briar’s W.
————————————————————————
Briar’s goal is maintain a Berserking window into Nocturne, combined with a good Snack Attack W(2) —> This is done by forcing Nocturne Spell Shield with Briar E into Terrain (When no spell shield is used, Briar gains a free R due to the Crowd Control).
Thereby Briar R will be enabled to hit,
(1) Briar starts with W and uses R to remove the fear duration.
(2) Briar starts with R and uses W as an effective execute tool + dash.
Briar should avoid Nocturne before level 6 and W levels.
Fiddlesticks
Briar has a decent time into Fiddlesticks, This matchup is based on Briar’s Tenacity + Early Statcheck and Fiddlesticks Teamfighting influence —> Briar W Berserking Movement Speed can be a negative gap closer due to fear.
Briar has a way stronger stat check than Fiddle, thereby Briar can control the map very well and look for easy invades.
Fiddlesticks W channel should be interrupted by Briar Q / E / R.
Fiddlesticks Trinket counts as an enemy champion for Briar Berserking!!!
Poppy
Briar has an easy time against Poppy, however… Poppy frontline and Crowd Control setup can be rough to deal with + Poppy R global knock away.
Briar has an even jungle clear speed early, but stronger mid/late clear than Poppy.
Briar has a really easy gap closer into Poppy, due to being Reliant to high Movement Speed on Berserking as Gap Closer.
Briar should try to mitigate early dove ganks from Poppy, which Briar can easily statcheck contest. Thereby Poppy setup(Poppy R on Terrain) can be responded with Briar’s E to turn the tables around very easily.
Graves
Briar has an even time into graves, Briar can withstand Graves invades and early skirmishes. However, Briar can suffer from low amount of Movement Speed and gap closer early on + graves can kite Briar decently well still, while maintaining a good stat check.
Overall Briar has a slightly slower jungle clear and tempo than Graves, but a way stronger stat check without getting kited.
Xin Zhao
Briar has an easy time into Xin Zhao after level 6, Xin Zhao with core abilities is slightly stronger stat check than Briar —> Briar E disengage combined with Passive output performs well into Xin Zhao his extended 2de E chase fight. Briar has an easy time getting Gap Closer into Xin Zhao.
Briar and Xin Zhao have similar early jungle clears, Briar’s clear speed becomes stronger later on.
Rengar
Briar has a good time against Rengar, due to Briar’s strong anti-burst(E Damage Reduction) and Briar’s Passive effect against Rengar his burst damage into low damage kit.
Briar has a similar jungle clear speed then Rengar.
Briar should be careful against Rengar before some levels into W and level 6 R <—> Briar E can easily disengage against Rengar (Depending on the Brush placement and knock back), Rengar can extend the chase by using 4 Ferocity E —> This will lower Rengar his stat check a lot.
Lee Sin
Briar has an even matchup into Lee Sin, due to having the stat check into Lee Sin combined with counterplay into Lee Sin his R placement ult <—> whenever used as a *Grab* purpose.
Briar has a similar jungle clear speed as Lee Sin.
Briar can have difficult times having a gap closer before reaching level 6 and levels on her W. This is because of Lee Sin his ward dash, E Slow and Q into nearby enemies.
Briar should buffer her E into Lee Sin R kick → When used towards his enemy team.
Rek'Sai
Briar has a good time against Rek’Sai, due to Briar her Damage mitigation and strong stat check, thereby she gains fast access and time on low HP from Rek’Sai her damage kit.
Briar can struggle into Rek’Sai her stat check before level 6 and/or Levels in Briar W, however it will be hard for Briar to make an engage into Rek’Sai before level 6 anyways. —> This is because Briar E should be timed during the Rek’Sai underborrow knock up followed by Rek’Sai her Q damage, due to this Briar cannot afford to chase Rek’Sai with Briar W before level 6 (Losing stat check by doing so).
Briar and Rek’Sai have equal jungle clear speed during the entire game, but Briar has to try to shadow early impact ganks from Rek’Sai her tunnels.
Evelynn
Briar has a decent matchup into Evelynn, due to having a way stronger early presence combined with Briar E into Evelynn charm as nullifier.
Briar should and can be aggressive into Evelynn’s bad early game, later on Evelynn becomes a pressure on the map due to permanently stealthing and Execute + escape R.
Diana
Briar has a decent time into Diana, due to Briar’s strong statcheck and gap closer into Diana, however… Diana jungle clear speed is faster than Briar, especially when Diana is given a lead.
Briar E is recommended to use against Diana R aoe radius, since Briar knock back has more range than Diana R radius.
Taliyah
Briar has overall a good time into Taliyah, due to Briar her stat check combined with Movement Speed Gap Closer —> Which is the strongest Gap Closer into Taliyah minefield.
Briar and Taliyah have similar jungle clear speeds, thereby Briar really needs high levels in W + R to be able to hard force on Taliyah. —> Be aware of Briar R dash, this will proc all minefields placed by Taliyah!!!
Rell
Briar has a good time against Rell, due to Briar her statcheck + Briar E and R disengage tools into Rell her hard engage. Thereby Rell trades heavily in the start and leaves Briar Passive and W(2) as stronger tools.
Briar has an equal jungle clear speed as Rell in the early game, later on Briar will get the upper hand.
Briar has to be aware of Rell her insane crowd control setup with her teammates, Rell alone is not a threat at all for Briar —> Higher points from Briar W and access to R will enable Briar her Gap Closer very easily into Rell.
Skarner
Briar has an easy time against Skarner, due to Briar her statcheck combined with Gap Closer and Disengage on demand —> Skarner level 6 can make this harder, Briar level 6 does counter Skarner R when used on the right counter time —> Briar R will cleanse Skarner R suppression.
Briar has a stronger jungle clear speed than Skarner.
Briar has to be aware of Skarner Passive Crystal Spires placed on the map, Those Crystal Spires increase Skarner his Movement Speed(70 - 120), Attack Speed(43% - 160%) and Mana Regen. —> Crystal Spires can be captured by both teams by standing on them.
Qiyana
Briar has a good time against Qiyana, due to Briar her powercurve into Qiyana her weak early game + Briar E mitigation against Qiyana Burst. —> Briar’s statcheck strength is gained by Levels in W(9)+ access to Briar R(6), Qiyana is really weak early on and becomes stronger with a few items and Qiyana R.
However… Briar has to be careful against Qiyana, her high burst Damage —> ‘’Briar Passive Healing, W(2) and E usage should not be greeded for hard’’.
+
Briar W Berserking will have a hard time against Qiyana Brush Q, Qiyana gains stealth from this usage and will decline ongoing Berserking (if there are no other targets available to linger it). —> Briar still wins duels without her W early on, thereby her R will grant true sight and Ability Haste will grant her more charges later on.
Amumu
Briar has an easy time into Amumu, however Amumu crowd control setup and pre-mitigation from physical damage can be annoying to deal with in teamfights as Briar.
Brand
Briar has a way stronger statcheck than Brand, thereby she can easily get Gap Closer into Brand —> Brand only has Ablaze special effect Q 1.5 seconds stun and R Slow to deal with Briar. Later on Brand can get Rylai's Crystal Scepter to deal with Briar’s insane movement speed rush.
Briar jungle has a faster jungle clear and stat check than Brand, which will fade slightly over time.
Dr. Mundo
Briar has a good matchup into Mundo, due to having stronger statcheck and jungle clear speed than Mundo. However… Gap Closer and Damage / Healing output are both working against each other in this matchup, Gaining Gap Closer will be easier on Briar lvl 6.
(1) Using Briar W early to gap close Mundo —> Mundo will benefit heavily from Briar using Snack Attack fast. (Mundo Q does Current HP Damage)
(2) Whenever Briar W is used later on, Mundo loses a lot of damage on Q combined with Briar gaining a lot of more damage and healing on Snack Attack.
Zac
Briar has a pretty easy time against Zac, due to Briar her consistent statcheck + W(2) against Zac his healthy pool. However… Zac grants insane Peel and frontline output during fights, which is hard to deal with as Briar —> Zac Chunks are hard to walk over during Berserking + Zac Crowd Control engage that cannot be stopped by Briar abilities from Fog of war.
Briar has a stronger jungle clear and stat check during the entire game, but Briar will face difficult times Gap Closing Zac + Punishing Zac his early weakness. —> Briar W levels and Zac E levels are linear of Gap Closing, level 6 R Briar obtains true Gap Closer.
Karthus
Briar has a pretty good time into Karthus, however… Karthus his fast clear speed and scaling can be hard to deal with + Karthus Q’s are very more likely to be guaranteed into a Berserking Briar.
Briar is allowed to counter jungle and pressure the map really easily in this matchup and thereby should do so.
Darius
Briar into Darius is a challenging matchup, due to both of them being statcheck based champs. Briar has a stronger statcheck than Darius before level 6, which will fade slightly due to Darius his E hook and W slow control. —> However, Briar can disengage easily from Darius 5 stack Passive mechanic due to her E knock back.
Overall, Briar has a stronger and healthier jungle clear than Darius, which should put her ahead of the curve.
Viego
Briar has a fairly easy time against Viego, due to Viego being a Bruiser and having a burst window into lower consistent damage stat check —> However… Viego Passive allows him to excel in extreme levels due to possession of enemy champions and their basic abilities.
Briar has a similar jungle clear speed as Viego.
Briar has a way stronger stat check than Viego combined with a disengage after trade Briar E ability —> Viego can use his Execute R to stop this disengage, which will sacrifice his stat check.
(Bruiser) Briar has to be aware of Viego his On-Hit increases combined with Scaling on enemy %HP damage types —> Viego R deal executed missing %HP damage.
Briar W Berserking chase will be denied when used easily when used outer range, due to Viego E Camouflage.
Wukong
Briar has a fairly easy time against Wukong, due to Briar her stat check combined with armor removal + easy Gap Closer. On top of this, Wukong his clone can become a slight issue for Briar her Berserking and especially Briar R projectile. —> Briar her W Berserking can be changed targets with Q and will always maintain cleave on Wukong clone.
Briar and Wukong have both similar jungle clear speeds and early / mid game strength.
Hecarim
Briar has a very easy time into Hecarim, Briar wins any statcheck into Hecarim <—> Unless Hecarim starts with 3 stacks on his Q, this should always be spotted out and taken account for whenever he were to be close to enemies to pre-stack it up.
Briar can use Ghost to match Hecarim his Movement Speed, latest upgrades of Briar W and Briar R movement speed will be faster than Hecarim E Movement Speed.
Cho'Gath
Briar has a decent time into Cho’Gath, due to Cho'Gath's silence and strong burst R —> other than this Briar has insane damage and self heal potential with her W(2) on Cho’Gath’s HP stack.
Briar has a stronger jungle clear speed than Cho’Gath, combined with a stronger stat check. Briar might struggle on having a gap closer early on due to Cho’Gath’s Q knock up + Slow —> Once Briar gains access to her level 6 R and more W levels(1 - 9) for movement Speed this will fade away.
Vi
Briar has an easy time against Vi, due to Vi her bruiser- + bursty-+ Isolation focus on 1 Target playstyle —> Briar has an easy time recovering + stat checking into burst playstyles, thereby Briar E disengage + R work really well into Vi her Isolation Focus on R.
Briar has a stronger stat check and jungle clear speed than Vi during the entire game, however… Briar can have a hard time creating Gap Closer + Target Focus early on —> Vi Q channel Dash cannot be stopped by Briar Q, when Vi charges into Briar Q leap.
Shyvana
Briar has an easy time against both AP- and AD Shyvana, due to Briar being free of Gap Closer after a few points in Briar W + Having the stat check into both AP- and AD Shyvana during the entire game.
Briar has an even jungle clear against Shyvana.
Shyvana Statcheck mainly comes from hitting her E ability + using the debuff that deals On-Hit Max %HP + Shyvana R Dragon enchanted playstyle. <—> Briar Statcheck mainly comes from her extending outputs on Passive + R + Berserking W(1) + W(2), thereby Briar is freely allowed to disengage and repeat this due to Briar E into immobile Shyvana.
Sylas
Briar has a very easy time against Sylas, due to her better statcheck than Sylas —> Sylas has a strong burst trade kit that has a lot of healing on low hp on W, however he lacks consistent stat check during an entire fight. Thereby Briar will maintain Gap Closer really easily as well.
Briar has a stronger jungle clear than Sylas during the entire game, Sylas his first clear is very weak and abuse-able.
Sylas R steal can make a difference in this matchup, and should be looked at adaptively, however Sylas with Briar R is not that strong —> Sylas can stop stolen Briar R endless Berserking with his own E.
Jarvan IV
Briar has a really easy time into Jarvan IV, due to Briar’s statcheck, Gap Closer and Jarvan IV Terrain combination with Briar E.
Briar has a similar jungle clear speed as Jarvan IV, Jarvan IV can never engage into Briar with his E + Q combo, due to giving his gap closer away into death. Due to this he will try to avoid Briar, unless it becomes a team skirmish. Briar should try to take advantage of this statcheck on the map and deny Jarvan IV R terrain / E+Q combo ganks and can do so very easily with Briar R global R.
Blitzcrank
Briar is very good into Blitzcrank, due to Briar her Berserking change on Q into W and Briar E buffer on Blitzcrank hook.
Briar has a stronger stat check and jungle clear speed than Blitzcrank —> Briar has freedom of invading and taking Jungle pathings as wished.
Be aware of change of position on Briar R endlessly fixation, due to a Blitzcrank hook.
Nautilus
Briar has a good time into Nautilus, due to Briar her stat check combined with disengage counter on Nautilus his hard engage + Crowd Control tools. Briar E and R can be used as defensive countermeasures into Nautilus, his hard engage tools.
Briar has a stronger jungle clear than Nautilus, which will extend later on in the game even more.
Rammus
Briar has an easy time against Rammus, due to Briar using her anti-armor kit on Q + Briar E against Rammus W / E + Pre-Mitigated healing kit from Briar.
Briar has a stronger jungle clear and stat check during the entire game, however Briar has to be aware of Rammus frontlining combined with fast access of Thornmail + Healing Reduction.
Camille
Briar has a fairly easy time into Camille, except for Camille R while being offensively Berserked on another target.
Briar has a stronger jungle clear speed than Camille and Briar will stat check Camille on all moments in the game, due to Camille her strong trade without follow up damage —> Briar will overcome Camille easily after it.
Briar can have difficulties chasing Camille before reaching level 6(R) and 9(Wmax).
