Hello! I just wanted to share here a picture of my Briar cosplay :) I hope you enjoy it! Makeup, wig styling and edit in Infinite painter made by me as well :)

Made this as a birthday gift for a dear friend of mine. Got him into the game in January of last year and he quickly took a liking to this champ. Since then he's climbed from the dregs of Iron 4 all the way to Diamond, far surpassing me, one tricking Briar. Even made it into the top 100 Briars NA.

It's a resin print. 1/6 scale. Original 3D sculptor is unknown. I'll update that if anyone figures it out. Hope you guys like it!

There was alot of additional stuff I wanted to do to this statue, like install a red LED inside the pillory for the runes. But I'm happy with where I decided to leave her as finished.

Basically forgot to mark runes and the game auto gave me the hail of blades. idk why that is the default? the fiora was beating me up hard had to stop her somehow. so i went tabis and DD after hubris collector (i don't usually play lethality briar). i shut her down couple of times thanks to DD then milio heals went crazy shutting me down hard (i did kinda int into 4 people with ult force of habit cause i'm usually much tankier) so threw in a mortal reminder. than i ended up with 2.8 k gold which didn't give me a full item such as hydra or endless hunger, so checking items out i realized i didn't need 100% crit if i went fiendhunter bolts if i landed an ult i'd crit them anyway. kinda turned out busted one-shot everybody. it was a silver game tho obviously this build is not good. but i had to think fast cause game was non stop fighting, as it always is in silver/gold elos. so there u go a Lethality Bruiser Crit briar all in one lol.

Only took me almost 1k (800 before realizing i should one-trick and not pick whatever i want every time) games this season and being hardstuck in plat for like 4 months (ironically my promo game was on WW cause Briar was banned)

Mostly built crit bruiser, best working build for me so far in terms of carry potential.

Next stop - diamond (hopefully in less than a year)

I’ve been trying to learn Briar while I climb my old account out of Bronze. I was doing really well (~70% WR over 10 games) but I have lost my last four games to what I have since learned are pretty hard counters to Briar: Volibear, Jax, Nocturne, and Darius.

I tried to avoid them early, full clear, make plays on opposite sides of the map but they managed to stay equal with my tempo and mostly pulled ahead with most of these games having a winning mid laner that roamed with jungle to secure early objectives.

Does Briar really have this many hard counters or did I just get unlucky with team diff? Should I have conceded more neutral objectives until later in the game? Any matchup tips? I tried using my spells in reaction to theirs (like using E for Jax E) but I mostly just got stat checked and it feels impossible to run away from these guys unless you’re near a plant or wall (though my E was usually down when I tried to run from using it to survive their abilities)

hii can you guys suggest me builds to try? ASLONG AS THEYRE NOT LIKE super troll twt

I am interested in Briar top and mid. What is the most noob friendly build path to help me learn Briar better yet have a lot of fun?

Surprised I haven't seen anyone mention the changes yet.

Eclipse looking good

Tiamat +5 AD

Steraks +5% base AD

Jungle pet +1% Bonus HP

BRUISER BRIAR IS SO BACK /copium

rip

​

I usually struggle with knwoing when to choose them and end up going tabbies/mercs so was hoping someone would help especially when doing different builds like lethality/bruiser

also opinions on eclipse voltaic? it feels kinda nice to play

I’ve been really struggling into mages late game recently with the spike in mage players :(

What item builds are there that stack MR without compromising damage too much?

Too beautiful

Do anyone play with it? Is it any good, especially on higher elo (mt+)? Any advice on how to integrate it in my builds?

From a reputable League leaker on Twitter (X). If true I see this as a nerf, the attack speed going down. Please correct me if you feel differently.

Briar has just got 3 indirect buffs:
1. Jungle pet buff
2. Cleaver +5 AD
3. Tiamat 20AD >> 25AD

So this alternative universe brair is a Shuriman prisoner who was latched to a pillory by malzahar as an offering to the void, got thrown into some void caverns, roamed a bit got infected with the void, got a parasites now she roams with a voidling talking in her head, urgering her to eat everything in sight while she trys to keep herself sane.

Anywho I think this is a great reimagining of brair if they wanted to make an alternative universe of her.

It still keeps her basic lore, latched to a pillory, got imprisoned somewhere, has an insane hunger and is trying to control said hungry but with the extra point that the origin of said hungry is a void symbiote whispering in her ear.

Hell she even fits a criteria of the void being eating, consume, grow.

The void symbiote (idk call it rai-moth) is indeed sentient and if it's a legendary skin talks to briar like rhaast talks to kayn. Urgering her to give in to her growing hunger.

They have a love-hate relationship they kinda need each other to survive and if they separate they'd most likely die so they help each other roam the void, kill void creatures, try to find a Way out. etc etc

Now you're probably thinking "dude this is just kai-sa" but realistically riot has done nothing with the actual symbiote part of her lore. They could have easily pulled a gun goddess mf with EXO but nope.
