Briar vs Viego

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Briar's faster clear and high early pressure to punish isolated Viego before he gains reset power.
Prioritize fights around lanes with priority to protect your frenzy commits and avoid overextending into Viego's counterplay.

Jungle Plan

Path toward volatile lanes to leverage Briar's sticky engage and high dueling to secure early takedowns.
Invade only when you have confirmed lane priority and vision on Viego's position to avoid collapse.
Use river control and Scuttle vision to set up counter-ganks and deny Viego safe farming or resets on objectives.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights where Viego can use (E) camouflage and (W) stun to start resets.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Viego has vision and reset potential active.
Watch for low-health clears where Viego can punish overcommitment with his execute and reset.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maintain tempo and look for early skirmishes where Viego is isolated.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can assist in fights.
Avoid forced early objective fights without lane support to reduce risk of Viego's resets turning fights.

Power spikes

Briar's early clear speed and (Q) stun allow strong early skirmishes before Viego hits level 6.
Respect Viego's level 6 (R) spike that enables resets and repositioning; avoid isolated fights after this.
Briar scales through sustained fights and cleanup; use this to outlast Viego post first fighter item.

Win conditions

Convert early tempo and healthy clears into protected skirmishes around lanes with priority.
Use (Q) and (R) to initiate sticky engages, then clean up fights before Viego can reset.
Deny Viego the first takedown to prevent his reset chain, then snowball objective control through dragon and Rift Herald.
