Prioritize full clears and avoid early river fights to reach level 6 safely for impactful (R) engages.
Use vision control to deny Briar's early invade attempts and force her to waste cooldowns before contesting objectives.
Jungle Plan
Clear efficiently while tracking Briar's pathing to anticipate her early skirmishes and avoid isolated fights.
Contest Scuttle only when lane priority and vision support counter-gank potential against Briar's high early pressure.
Use post-6 (R) ambushes from fog to create picks around dragon and Rift Herald, leveraging objective control and lane priority to force fights on your terms.
Danger windows
Avoid early river skirmishes before level 6 when Briar's engage and mobility are strongest.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision control, as Briar's (R) can initiate long-range dives.
Low-health clears expose you to Briar's high dueling and gank threat; prioritize health and vision before extended fights.
Early game
Start with a full clear path to maximize tempo and reach level 6 before forcing plays.
Avoid contesting the first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority to back up counter-ganks.
Reset for control wards and sweepers before approaching dragon or Rift Herald fights to secure vision advantage.
Power spikes
At level 6, use (R) from fog to initiate ambushes that can decisively swing objective fights.
Briar spikes with (Q) and (R) for sticky engages; respect these windows by avoiding isolated river fights.
Your very high clear speed lets you reach key scaling points faster; use this to deny Briar's tempo and scale into teamfights.
Win conditions
Convert your superior clear speed and vision denial into uncontested dragon and Rift Herald control.
Use (R) ambushes from fog to create picks that lead to objective takes and force Briar into unfavorable fights.
Maintain tempo through efficient pathing and counter-jungling when Briar overcommits to skirmishes or lanes with priority.
