Briar Arrr, top · Normal Draft
Briar Top be a reviewed secondary course, while Jungle remains her primary role. Bleed stacks across a minion wave can sustain her, and a charged Chilling Scream into terrain can heal while clearing or resetting th' wave. Spending Chilling Scream on minions also removes her main frenzy cancel and defensive control window, while ranged spacing and Grievous Wounds reduce th' sustain course.

Blood Frenzy / Snack Attack
Arrr, what it doesEnglishBriar 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.

Adapt th' course
What to do when th' battle changes
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Ahead course
Control th' side course without donating th' lead
Course
Hold a favourable wave, pressure th' foe astern from farm and keep enough vision to survive th' second foe.
Sea chart play
Push afore moving to an prize; arrive through a known course rather than giving up th' wave and yer shutdown.
Fights
Use th' lead to occupy space fer th' crew. Do nay chase through th' entire foe formation fer one target.
Even course
Trade 'round th' wave and yer strongest cooldowns
Course
Keep hull and minions balanced so one poor trade does nay decide th' course.
Sea chart play
Move after th' wave be handled and communicate if th' opposing Top laner leaves first aboard.
Fights
Pick betwixt front-line duty, side pressure and carry access according to th' champion kit.
Behind course
Protect experience and stop th' course from accelerating
Course
Farm nigh safe harbour, avoid repeating th' losing trade and ask fer lend a hand only when th' wave creates a realistic window.
Sea chart play
Do nay follow a stronger foe through unseen river. Signal th' move and recover promised resources.
Fights
Contribute control or pressure to th' nearest seaworthy target instead o' trying to repair th' score alone.
Pings, movement and prizes
Briar Top sea chart course
Manage th' long course afore leaving it. A useful move begins wit' a handled wave, a visible course and a teammate who knows ye be coming.
Use th' side-course lead without donating it
- Ping
- Ping Foe Lost overboard when th' opposing Top leaves, then On Me Way afore a flank or prize move.
- Arrr, stay or move
- Push th' wave afore moving. Stay if leaving would hand several minions or yer tower back aboard to th' foe.
- Prize
- Arrive through a known course and mark whether ye be front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry. Do nay enter alone afore th' crew can follow.
Make th' wave create th' first aboard move
- Ping
- Use Foe Lost overboard early, Peril on th' course they may take, and On Me Way only after yer own wave be handled.
- Arrr, stay or move
- Move after pushing or on a shared recall. Do nay follow through unwarded river merely because th' foe left first aboard.
- Prize
- Tell th' crew whether ye can move afore th' prize starts. Approach wit' vision and save th' cooldown needed fer th' first aboard real commitment.
Protect experience and communicate th' pressure
- Ping
- Ping Foe Lost overboard immediately and Retreat if teammates be about to meet th' stronger Top laner without ye.
- Arrr, stay or move
- Do nay clash a stronger foe through darkness. Clear th' deck th' seaworthy wave, then group by th' shortest controlled course.
- Prize
- State early if ye cannae contest. If th' crew still fights, provide control or protection instead o' attempting an isolated flank.
Prize setup
Arrr, four calls, in order
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
- 1Handle th' wave
Push, catch or communicate th' wave afore leaving so th' foe does nay gain a free move and free income.
- 2Signal th' course
Use On Me Way fer th' course ye be actually taking and Peril where an unseen foe may arrive.
- 3Arrr, enter together
Move through controlled vision wit' th' Jungler or another ally instead o' face-checking th' prize alone.
- 4Pick th' job
Decide whether ye be engaging, front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry afore th' fight begins.
Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.
