Get Familiar with Briar's Unique Skill Set
- Passive: Briar lacks basic regeneration but can inflict bleeding on enemies and heal based on damage dealt. Briar's skills consume health, and she also receives healing based on damage dealt.
- Q - Leap of the Predator: Briar jumps to a target, dealing damage and stunning enemies, while also reducing their armor.
- W - Frenzy/Bite: Briar releases her collar, losing control of movement and attacking the nearest target. In Frenzy mode, this skill enhances attack speed, movement speed, and the ability to strike nearby targets. Upon activation for the second time, Briar empowers her basic attacks to deal additional damage and heal.
- E - Terrifying Scream: Helps Briar escape Frenzy mode, reduces incoming damage, and heals. Upon reactivation, she unleashes a blast of energy, dealing damage based on accumulated rage and pushing enemies into walls, while also stunning them.
- R - No Escape: Fires an arrow across the map, pinning the first enemy champion hit. Then, Briar charges forward, gaining an enhanced Frenzy effect to increase armor, magic resistance, and movement speed.
