Confidence lowUpdated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize early jungle control to deny Briar free farm and limit her scaling potential.
Use your stronger early clear and gank pressure to secure river scuttles and force Briar into defensive pathing.

Jungle Plan

Engage jungle duels when Briar's key cooldowns are down and you have vision control.
Use your clear speed to force Briar into awkward pathing and punish isolated camps.
Disengage from fights if Briar positions near her laners or has summoner spells available to counter you.

Danger windows

Be cautious around river scuttle fights early when Briar can collapse with lane assistance.
Avoid extended fights when your health is low after clears, as Briar can punish you.
Watch for Briar's invade attempts post-level 6 when her damage and mobility increase.

Early game

Start on your bot-side jungle to maximize first clear speed and secure scuttle vision before Briar can contest.
Avoid early river fights before level 3 unless you have lane priority or vision advantage.
Focus on efficient camp sequencing to hit level 3 first and look for early ganks or counter-invades.

Power spikes

Your level 3 clear and gank threat create windows to invade or force Briar off camps.
Respect Briar's level 6 power spike which may enable her to contest objectives aggressively.
Use your ultimate timing to coordinate with laners for strong skirmishes or objective control.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle control into repeated counterjungling to starve Briar's resources.
Coordinate with lanes to secure early dragons and Rift Heralds using your ultimate for teamfights.
Use your superior objective access and gank angles to snowball lanes and create map pressure.
