League of Legends fans are gearing up for the introduction of a new Legend, Briar, the latest addition to the array of champions. Emerging as a fearsome jungler, Briar's origins are shrouded in hemomancy – the arcane art of blood magic. Noxus's enigmatic Black Rose shaped her into a living weapon, fueling her existence with an insatiable thirst for blood. This newest champion promises to bring a unique twist to the Summoner's Rift, with gameplay that hinges on a delicate balance between unbridled frenzy and calculated control.

LoL Legend Briar Abilities

Passive: Crimson Curse

At the core of Briar's fearsome prowess lies her Passive ability, Crimson Curse. Drawing strength from her own vulnerability, Briar gains augmented healing in proportion to her missing health. Her attacks and abilities, moreover, inflict a bleeding wound upon her victims, dealing escalating physical damage as the stacks accumulate. Yet, this power comes at a price – Briar lacks natural health regeneration, and her potent abilities demand a portion of her health as their cost. It's a calculated risk, as she converts her vitality into devastating blows on the battlefield.

Q: Head Rush

Briar's penchant for audacious attacks finds its outlet in her Q ability, Head Rush. Executing a decisive leap onto her target, she leaves them momentarily stunned in the face of her assault. This movement not only deals potent physical damage but also shreds her target's armor. Notably, her single-minded pursuit of champions can be interrupted – should she opt to unleash this ability on a minion or monster during her Blood Frenzy, her priorities shift.

W: Blood Frenzy/Snack Attack

Incorporating her vampiric nature, Briar's W ability introduces the concept of Blood Frenzy. With a daring leap, she immerses herself in this frenzied state, taunting the nearest enemy and gaining a surge in attack and movement speed. Every strike she delivers not only inflicts physical damage but radiates it outward to those in proximity of her primary target. Remarkably, Briar can elect to amplify her next attack by recasting this ability, extracting a formidable amount of missing health damage while replenishing a substantial portion of her own health.

E: Chilling Scream

Charging into battle, Briar's E ability, Chilling Scream, plays a dual role. Initially, she relinquishes her Blood Frenzy, trading it for enhanced durability and a regeneration of her health. Subsequently, upon release, she unleashes a blood-curdling scream that inflicts escalating damage proportional to the charging time. Enemies caught in its wake are subject to a brief deceleration, while those unfortunate enough to collide with a wall experience additional devastation, including a staggering stun effect.

R: Certain Death

Briar's ultimate ability, Certain Death, epitomizes her unyielding determination as a bloodthirsty hunter. Swiftly kicking a hemolith, she launches herself toward her chosen target, marking them as her prey. The impact upon landing radiates a substantial physical blow to the surrounding area, inducing nearby enemies to flee. Her pursuit is relentless – she descends into an empowered Blood Frenzy, relentlessly chasing her prey until only one of them remains standing. In the heat of this pursuit, she gains heightened armor, magic resistance, and accelerated movement.
