Use Briar's high clear speed and dueling power to contest river control and punish isolated Wukong early attempts.
Prioritize volatile lanes with lane priority to protect frenzy commits and avoid direct early fights without vision or lane support.
Jungle Plan
Path toward lanes with priority to set up sticky engages using (Q) and (R) for ganks and counter-ganks.
Fight for first Scuttle only when your lanes can follow and you have vision control to avoid Wukong's clone deception and (R) knockup.
Prioritize objective setups around dragon and Rift Herald after securing tempo and denying Wukong safe farming windows.
Danger windows
Be cautious around Wukong's level 6 engage timing and his (R) cyclone in river fights and objective contests.
Avoid isolated river skirmishes without vision as Wukong's clone can bait cooldowns and collapse.
Watch for low-health clears where forced frenzy can be punished by Wukong's sustained damage if overcommitted.
Early game
Start full clear to maintain healthy tempo and look for early river Scuttle control when nearby lanes can move first.
Avoid early invades unless you have clear exit paths or lane priority to punish Wukong's medium invade resistance.
Track Wukong's pathing to anticipate his level 6 engage and prepare for counter-ganks around river and objectives.
Power spikes
Briar's power spike comes from sustained fights and cleanup potential after level 6 with (R); use this to force skirmishes.
Respect Wukong's level 6 spike with (R) knockup and clone engage; avoid isolated fights without lane support.
Briar's high clear speed and dueling allow stronger early skirmishes if Wukong is caught out or his (E) dash is down.
Win conditions
Convert healthy clear tempo and protected skirmishes into objective control by coordinating with lanes that have priority.
Use (Q) and (R) to create sticky engages for ganks and counter-ganks, snowballing leads into dragon and Rift Herald setups.
Deny Wukong free farm by invading or counter-jungling when lanes can follow, then leverage superior dueling to scale into extended fights and cleanup dives.
