Gameplay style
Briar is primarily played as an assassin/diver/fighter, leveraging their melee combat style to dominate in jungle. Since their release in Patch 13.18, players have come up with a bunch of different strategies and builds to maximize Briar's potential.

Briar's story
A failed experiment by the Black Rose, Briar's uncontrollable bloodlust required a special pillory to focus her frenzied mind. After years of confinement, this living weapon broke free from her restraints and unleashed herself into the world. Now she's controlled by no one—following only her hunger for knowledge and blood—and relishes the opportunities to let loose, even if reining back the frenzy isn't easy.
