Briar is a unique bruiser jungler whose gameplay revolves around managing her Blood Frenzy (W) ability. This berserk state makes her temporarily uncontrollable but immensely powerful, requiring careful timing and positioning to maximize effectiveness.

Skill Order Priority:

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

Early Game Skill Order:

  • Level 1: W
  • Level 2: Q
  • Level 3: W (for faster clear) or Q (if early fighting expected)
  • Level 4: E

W is prioritized first for optimal jungle clearing speed. Take second W point at level 3 for faster farming, unless you anticipate early skirmishes - then take Q for better combat potential.

Core Build Path: Starting Items:

  • Emberknife
  • Refillable Potion

Main Items:

  • Eclipse
  • Black Cleaver
  • Death's Dance
  • Guardian Angel

Situational Items:

  • Blade of the Ruined King (vs HP-heavy teams)
  • Maw of Malmortius (vs AP threats)
  • Spirit Visage (when needing MR)
  • Dead Man's Plate (vs AD teams)

Build Strategy: Focus on items that provide a balance of AD, health, and ability haste. Primary stats to prioritize:

  1. Attack Damage
  2. Health
  3. Ability Haste
  4. Resistances

Build path should adapt to match state and enemy composition, balancing damage output with survivability needs.

Key Gameplay Tips:

  • Time Blood Frenzy activation carefully to avoid overextending
  • Use E strategically to control movement during Blood Frenzy
  • Coordinate engages with team to maximize impact
  • Focus on farm efficiency early game
  • Adapt build path based on game state and team needs
