She wants blood, and is ready to do anything to get it: it’s Briar, the new champion of League of Legends. Last champion to date for 2023, he is a monster created by hemomancy, a little stupid, who would like to become human. Her kit is all about losing control and fury, which literally drives her out of control. Spells, gameplay, lore, here is everything you need to know about Briar, the new LoL champion.
Release date : Briar is scheduled for patch 13.18, with an expected arrival on September 13
Roles : Briar is originally designed to be a diverge AD in the jungle, but can also be considered in toplane.
Briar Passive Skill and Spells
Passive: Scarlet Curse
The attacks and skills of Briar inflict a stacking bleed that heals her for a portion of the damage inflicted. Because of his constant hunger, Briar lacks natural HP regeneration, but the less HP she has, the more her healing is boosted.
Bleed damage not applied due to enemy death also allows Briar to heal.
A: Let’s eat!
Briar leaps onto a unit, stuns it, breaks its armor and inflicts damage.
While under the effects of Blood Frenzy, Briar no longer prioritizes champions if the ability targets a minion or monster.
W: Blood Frenzy/Just a Fang
Briar leaps forward and bursts his pillory. She succumbs to Blood Frenzy and relentlessly pursues the closest enemy (prioritizing champions). While in frenzy, his movement and attack speeds increase, and his attacks deal area damage around his target.
Briar can reactivate the skill to take a FANG on its target on the next attack, which deals additional damage based on missing HP and heals them proportionally to the damage dealt.
E: Bloody Cry
Briar recovers his wits, breaks free from Blood Frenzy, and channels his energy into a powerful scream that deals damage and slows enemies.
When she charges her scream, the damage she takes is reduced and she heals a portion of her max HP. A fully charged shout knocks enemies back, deals bonus damage, and stuns enemies if they hit a wall.
A: Deadly Flight
Briar throws a hemolith across the map that marks the first enemy hit. Briar flies up to him, scaring off other enemies upon arrival, and goes into a state of complete haematomania.
It pursues its prey until the death of one of the two. She gains the effects of Blood Frenzy as well as additional armor, magic resist, lifesteal, and movement speed.
Some info about Briar
Briar is a slightly crazy female character, unlike other junglers of the same genre (Evelynn or Elise). It is a monster, an experiment failed by the Black Rose, but which wishes to become more human. Its tone is lighter, and obviously based on loss of control – the mechanic at the heart of its gameplay.
His ultimate is almost global, and can reach almost any point on the map. However, the developers had to put some limits to avoid seeing players die in a loop in the opposing fountain.
His full biography is available on the Universe website.
