Briar vs Bel'Veth

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Briar's high early pressure and clear speed to contest river and punish isolated Bel'Veth camps before her scaling kicks in.
Prioritize pathing around volatile lanes and countergank windows to leverage Briar's sticky engage and dueling power.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup; deny Bel'Veth free farm early to prevent her from reaching her late-game carry potential.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading Bel'Veth's jungle camps only when you have lane priority and exit information to avoid counter-invades.
Use (Q) and (R) to stick and dive in skirmishes around river and scuttle when lanes can follow up.
Focus on early dragon and Rift Herald control to leverage objective fights before Bel'Veth reaches her item spikes.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Bel'Veth's mobility and (W) knockup can punish overextensions.
Be cautious when forced into smite fights if low health, as (E) damage reduction can outlast you.
Respect windows when Bel'Veth completes key items or secures Herald/Baron, as she becomes harder to contest and punish.

Early game

Start with a healthy full clear to maintain tempo and look for early skirmishes near lanes with priority.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can assist in securing or punishing.
Avoid committing to early invades without lane priority or exit paths, as failed frenzy engages are costly against Bel'Veth's mobility.

Power spikes

Briar spikes with healthy clears and protected skirmishes that enable extended fights and cleanup dives.
Respect Bel'Veth's first item spike that boosts her sustained damage and dueling, avoiding prolonged fights before this.
Beware of Bel'Veth's Herald or Baron conversions that empower her map pressure; contest these objectives aggressively.

Win conditions

Use Briar's superior early tempo and dueling to snowball leads through counterjungling and objective control.
Convert lane priority and skirmish wins into deep vision and secured dragons or Rift Herald to deny Bel'Veth scaling.
Force extended fights where Briar's crowd control and mobility outmatch Bel'Veth's sustained damage and kite potential.
