Greeting Summoner, my name is Alek Ingame and Currently I am Master Tier Briar OTP :)
In this guide, I will share with you everything I learned about Briar - so you can climb to your desired Elo!

For real – you don’t want the game to go on for too long. Briar needs to take a strong lead early and use it to finish the game. Although she IS good late - enemies will group and other champions could outscale you!
🩸
Briar is a crazy vampire girl who loves to fight! She gets stronger the more she hits things, and heals a lot — but if she goes in too deep, she can also die fast. Playing her in the jungle means you must know when to fight, when to farm, and when to chill.

🌲 Early Game – Getting Started

Start with the red or blue side, depending on do you want to gank bot or top. You can also start Raptors > Golems > Red > Wolves > Gromp > Blue > Scuttle; and than run to your Raptors to do another full clear after Recalling.

• Briar heals fast, so don’t worry too much about low HP.

• Try to gank (help lanes) after level 3 or 4 when you’re strong.

• If you see an enemy jungler early — FIGHT THEM. Briar wins most early 1v1s.

• Don’t chase too far. If your team can’t follow, you’ll just die alone.

💡 Pro tip: If you see low HP enemies near a lane, that’s your snack — go take the kill!

⚔️ Mid Game – Becoming the Monster

Early game is the most important. If you win early game - you will most likely win the lategame. Don't give up because one good teamfight and Briar will prevail!!!

• Now you’re strong and can fight almost anyone.

• Look for fights around Dragon and Herald. Briar clears them super fast.

• Always try to start fights from the side — enemies don’t expect you.

Don’t just press R on the first person you see. Wait for the right target (like the ADC or mid). Briar's specialty is killing fed target and disrupting teamfights in her favor!

• After you kill someone, use your healing to stay in the fight.

• If your team is fighting, go in second — after they use their CC (stuns, slows).

💡 Pro tip: Use bushes to hide before fights. Jump out and surprise enemies!

💀 Late Game – Carry Time

• You’re a monster now. But also easy to kill if you go alone.

• Stay near your team, but be ready to jump in on the enemy carry.

• Don’t fight 1v5 — Briar is strong, not immortal.

• When Baron or Dragon is up, control the area early and use your healing to tank it.

• Try to fear many people with your R if fights get messy.

💡 Pro tip: If your team is behind, don’t start fights. Farm jungle, heal up, and wait for picks (catch someone alone).

🧠 Smart Briar Tricks

• Sneak into the enemy jungle after you kill their jungler — steal camps fast when you have PRIO.

• You can quicky grab tower plates.

• If you get low HP, find jungle monsters or lane minions to hit, instead of backing.

• Don't instantly use your (R) on tanks. Go for the squishy ones that die fast OR into enemie engager to STOP the engage! Don't be scared to play the teamfight s l o w!

• If you go too deep and your team can’t help — use E to stop and run away.

💡 Think of Briar like a wild dog: she’s super strong but needs control and consistency.

💪 Good Build Ideas

• You don’t need to remember all the names, just what they do:

• Items that give health + damage + healing = amazing on Briar.

• Always get one item for armor or magic resist depending on the enemy.

• Tanky things that give lifesteal or shield make her last longer in fights.

💡 Example Full Build: Titanic Hydra, Black Cleaver, Death’s Dance, Sterak’s Gage, and boots.

🏁 Winning Plan

• Farm fast early.

• Gank smartly, not randomly.

• Fight when you have teammates close.

• Take big jungle goals (Dragon, Herald, Baron).

• Dive enemy carries and heal forever.

If you play smart, you’ll be unkillable — a true blood-crazy champion who eats everyone alive.

AND

If you are not sure which is the right decision - DO the one that will bring you the most consistent results thruout many games - like: Do not do ganks if you have 2 or more camps up, if you are not 110% sure that they will work and you won't waste too much time on them :) !
