Blood Frenzy / Snack Attack
Briar leaps forward and shatters her pillory, entering a Blood Frenzy that causes her to relentlessly pursue the nearest enemy (prioritizing champions). While frenzied, she gains increased Attack Speed and Move Speed, and her attacks deal damage in an area around her target.

Briar can reactivate this ability while frenzied to take a CHOMP out of her target on her next attack, dealing additional damage based on their missing Health, and healing Briar based on the damage she deals.

Chilling Scream
Briar refocuses her mind, removing Blood Frenzy and channeling energy into a powerful scream that damages and slows enemies. While charging, she takes reduced damage and heals for a portion of her max Health. A fully charged scream knocks foes back, dealing additional damage and stunning those who collide with a wall.

Briar R Icon
Certain Death
Briar kicks her pillory's hemolith gemstone, marking the first champion it hits as her prey. She then beelines straight to them, fearing other surrounding enemies upon arriving at her target, and enters a state of complete hemomania. She will pursue her prey until death, gaining the benefits of Blood Frenzy as well as additional Armor, Magic Resistance, Life Steal, and Move Speed.

41147%+349+327Kayn is known as Briars biggest counter. to win jungle against Kayn you need to take advantage of Briars early game power. before Kayn gets his forms you need to "bully" him as much as possible by tracking his jungle camps and looking for invades because without help from enemy laners you stomp kayn. in the mid to late game (when Kayn gets his forms) with kayn red form he can easily beat you by hitting you with his W (the CC) so they key is to dodge his W and be smart with your WUnranked Anonymous
