Briar vs Lillia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Briar's high early-game pressure and dueling to punish isolated Lillia before she scales.
Manage tempo by tracking Lillia's fast clears and avoid overcommitting to invades without lane priority.
Focus on snowballing through protected skirmishes and objective fights to leverage Briar's carry potential.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing around volatile lanes that can follow your (Q) and (R) engages for effective ganks.
Invade and counter-jungle when Lillia is resetting or after she commits to full clears to punish her lower health.
Use river control and Scuttle vision to set up objective fights, focusing on dragon and Rift Herald when lanes can assist.

Danger windows

Beware of Lillia's (E) sleep setup and (R) global sleep during grouped objective fights; avoid isolated river skirmishes without lane priority.
Avoid forced smite fights when low on health or when Lillia's movement speed advantage can isolate you.
Respect windows after committing frenzy; if you overextend without backup, be ready to disengage or counter-gank.

Early game

Start with a healthy clear to maintain tempo and look for early fights when Lillia is low-health after fast clears.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to secure river control.
Avoid risky invades early without vision or lane support, as failed commits can be costly.

Power spikes

Briar's power spikes come from sustained damage and crowd control in extended skirmishes; use (Q) stun and (R) fear to lock down targets.
Respect Lillia's scaling spike when she hits key AP items and her sleep (E) and (R) become more threatening in teamfights.
Exploit Lillia's weaker early dueling by forcing fights before her mobility and sleep setup are fully online.

Win conditions

Convert healthy tempo into objective control by securing Scuttle and dragon with lane priority and vision.
Use (Q) and (R) to create sticky engages for lanes to follow and snowball leads through counterjungling.
Deny Lillia free farm by invading when safe and force her into unfavorable fights before her scaling powers up.
