Briar is a unique jungle fighter whose playstyle revolves around managing her "Blood Frenzy" state. Her W ability sends her into an uncontrollable frenzy, only manageable through her E ability, creating a high-risk, high-reward gameplay pattern that requires practice to master.

Ability Priority:

  1. W (Blood Frenzy)
  2. Q
  3. E

Key Skill Order:

  • Level 1: W
  • Level 2: Q
  • Level 3: W (for faster jungle clear) or Q (if early fighting expected)
  • Max W first, then Q, E last

Core Items:

  • Starting: Emberknife, Refillable Potion
  • Core Build: Goredrinker > Black Cleaver > Death's Dance
  • Situational: Sterak's Gage, Spirit Visage, Thornmail

Build Strategy: Focus on AD and health items early, transitioning to tank items by third or fourth item. Ability haste is crucial for maintaining engage potential. Build should balance damage output with survivability.

Jungle Tips:

  • Use W strategically for faster clear speeds
  • Practice controlling Blood Frenzy state
  • Time E usage to avoid unfavorable engagements
  • Build tanky after core damage items

Combat Strategy:

  • Enter fights with calculated W usage
  • Use E to control positioning during Blood Frenzy
  • Save Q for high-value targets
  • Balance aggression with survivability

Playstyle: Master Briar's unique mechanics by understanding when to:

  • Initiate Blood Frenzy
  • Disengage using E
  • Allow controlled aggression
  • Position for team fights

Success with Briar requires practice and patience to develop game sense for her unique ability interactions.
