Briar vs Warwick

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Briar's faster clear and high early pressure to contest river control and force Warwick off camps.
Prioritize pathing around lanes with priority to enable safe (R) engages and counter-ganks.
This is a snowball matchup where Briar must convert early tempo into objective fights and cleanup skirmishes.

Jungle Plan

Path to volatile lanes with lane priority to enable (R) dives and extended skirmishes.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and provide backup.
Use tempo advantage to invade Warwick's jungle camps when he is on the opposite side or after his early river attempts.

Danger windows

Warwick is most dangerous when enemies are low health and (E) fear or (R) suppression are available; avoid extended fights in these states.
Be cautious contesting isolated river fights or Scuttle when Warwick can collapse with his sustain and dueling power.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Warwick's sustain and healing give him an edge.

Early game

Start full clear to maintain tempo and look for early river Scuttle control when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid direct invades early unless you have solid vision and lane priority to back you up.
Track Warwick's first river moves to set up counter-ganks or contest Scuttle crab safely.

Power spikes

Level 3: Briar gains full kit to win extended fights if she can stick and avoid Warwick's fear timing.
Level 6: Briar's (R) allows long-range dive and fear to lock down targets; use it after baiting Warwick's movement.
Warwick's level 6 (R) enables suppression and pick potential; respect this by avoiding isolated fights without vision or lane backup.

Win conditions

Use Briar's healthy clears and high mobility to maintain tempo and pressure river control early.
Convert tempo into objective fights by coordinating with lanes that have priority to secure dragons and Rift Herald.
Snowball through protected skirmishes using (Q) and (R) to lock down targets and clean up fights before Warwick can respond.
