Threats & Synergies

Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Ambessa

Minor

There's no better time to play briar when ambessa is popular. Briar works pretty well into her if you don't fall behind. Rush botrk and win aganist her. When she R's use E backwards for a guarenteed E hit, maybe a wall.

Akshan

Minor

Briar is pretty good into ranged tops most of the time. Akshan can't E out of any situation since briar can hold Q for the entire frenzy. But he still has outplay potenial on you. (Rush Plated steelcaps)

Aatrox

Minor

One of the only truly GOOD matchups for briar. Until he rushes tabis. W his Q + E and hold E if he's about to Q 3 you to minigate damage. Until he buys tabis

Darius

Extreme

Uhm. If he's above diamond you won't be able to play. Since he can just ghost away from your E and all in you.

Dr. Mundo

Tiny

Easy matchup. Don't let him take plates or he'll beat to shit out of you

Camille

Even

Literally it boils down to if she's gonna hold her E. Whoever E's first loses.

Cho'Gath

Minor

Not even that bad. Definitly don't pick briar into him but just dodge his Q's with your W + Q.

Gragas

Extreme

Who win's into this champ anyway

Illaoi

Extreme

Super mega giga counter.

Fiora

Extreme

Her parry kills your champion.

Irelia

Tiny

Easy matchup, play's itself

Gwen

Major

I literally never played this matchup but it's probably not good since her Q always will hit you for full dmg and she'll dodge your E with her E. Also her W cancels frenzy

Aurora

Extreme

Invisible champion literally made to counter champions like briar

Gnar

Major

So, it's a ranged top with huge ms who outspeeds you and can rush tabi's. Horrible

Akali

Extreme

Same as aurora (You gotta understand, briar is not good toplane, only a counterpick champion)

Jax

Extreme

Jax used E and your champion suddenly stopped working

Kayle

Major

Do not. Unless your jungle is good. Dive the shit out of her. Fuck kayle

Caitlyn

Extreme

I've seen caitlyn top being played so i'll put her in just to tell you that her traps will kill you

Nasus

Major

Another champion that turns off your AA's. But at least you can do something before lvl 3

Cassiopeia

Extreme

lol

Gangplank

Minor

I've never played aganist good GP but i think he's a good matchup

K'Sante

Minor

Haven't played aganist the reworked k'sante as briar. I suppose it's good

Garen

Major

He outdamages you and oneshots you after berserks onwards. You win if he uses his W

Mordekaiser

Even

Morde is a bad champion. But briar is a jungler

Jayce

Tiny

No one plays jayce. But when someone play's him, auto play matchup

Rammus

Extreme

a natural counter to briar in jungle is a natural counter to briar in toplane who would've thought

Galio

Tiny

Eat him

Renekton

Major

The croc, the champion that can fold you up like a blanket. If he uses both of his E's and has TP not ignite you can win

Kled

Extreme

You lose aggro when scarl dies, and he has built in anti heal, prolly takes ignite too. And can rush tabi's Just dodge.

Kennen

Major

You know, if you read this guide and your a diamond or below you probably fold him like a blanket if he's not a OTP. Otherwise it's the other way around.

Riven

Even

She takes ignite, briar hates ignite and also you'll never hit riven with your E. Bait her into going in with your E, if use force her to use her E all in her (Unless lvl 6 or above) When you have lvl 6, let her push into you and try to hit her with your R. If you do, you should win the 1v1. Overall, don't pick briar into matchups that you can't one sidedly stomp

Yasuo

Even

Even. Yasuo can hold windwall to block your E so use it defensivly. Your E has a little shorter cld than his W so you can outplay him with that fact. Lvl 6 use E when he's about to knock you up to guarentee that his passive is gone.

Malphite

Major

Depsite malpite being malphite, all you need to do is RNG that your team has 3 AP and 2 AD. Then just sit under town and farm, he will never kill you.

Sett

Extreme

The biggest cancr matchup in the whole fuckng game, you will not be able to play even if he's iron 4. His entire kit counters you in every single way.

Rumble

Major

Bad matchup, unless you catch him without his passive close to full.

Yorick

Tiny

Just dodge his E with your W and murder him

Nocturne

Extreme

another briar counter in jungle that counters her in toplane too.

Yone

Major

Unlike yasuo, yone E deals considerably more dmg. Making him more of a thread. You both build the same items and you will be behind. Just use E behind you on his R like yasuo matchup.

Shen

Extreme

Hmmm. Just use your ult on him to follow up on his gank for fun, and die. Leave the game afterwards

Wukong

Extreme

Armor stacking monkey that can put a clone down that briar will focus.

Ornn

Even

Fat tank like malphite that will stack armor on you, take the black cleaver build and try to win by sustaning with minions and E. You will go even but why even play briar if you're not ahead.
