Briar vs Elise

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Briar's high clear speed and dueling to contest Elise's early three-camp path and punish her if she overextends on invades.
Prioritize river control and lane priority to protect your frenzy commits and avoid Elise's lethal early ganks and dives.

Jungle Plan

Path toward volatile lanes with strong lane priority to secure protected frenzy engages and counter-gank Elise's early dives.
Contest river control and Scuttle when your lanes can follow to deny Elise early tempo and objective access.
Invade Elise only with reliable vision and exit routes, focusing on punishing her weaker full clears before her first reset.

Danger windows

Respect Elise's level 3 dive window when she can cocoon and rappel for lethal ganks and invades.
Avoid isolated river fights before securing vision and lane priority to prevent Elise's collapse punishes.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Elise's lanes have priority or if you are low on health after clears.

Early game

Start with a fast full clear to maintain tempo and avoid Elise's early invade pressure.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid early objective starts if Elise's lanes can collapse to punish your engage attempts.

Power spikes

Briar's early power spike comes from healthy clears enabling sustained fights; use (Q) stun and (R) fear to lock down targets when lanes can assist.
Elise's major early spike is her level 3 dive with (E) cocoon and rappel; respect this window by avoiding isolated river fights.
Briar scales into a high carry threat through extended skirmishes; leverage this by snowballing early tempo into objective control.

Win conditions

Convert healthy tempo and protected frenzy engages into objective fights and cleanup dives around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use superior dueling and mobility to counter-jungle Elise after her early pressure window fades.
Track Elise's early pathing to time counter-ganks and deny her snowball, forcing her off scaling-dependent plays.
