Ivern vs Briar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking and buff-sharing to deny Briar camps without direct duels.
Focus on utility scaling and protecting carries through (Q) root and (R) Daisy knockup rather than early fights.
Avoid isolated duels with Briar; play around lanes that can collapse quickly to punish her high early pressure.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize unusual routing and buff-sharing paths to deny Briar camps while avoiding direct fights before scaling.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lane priority supports counter-ganks against Briar's sticky engage.
Use vision and lane priority to set up cross-map objective trades and protect dragon and Rift Herald setups with teammates.

Danger windows

Beware Briar's early invade attempts when isolated; avoid fighting alone before level 6.
Respect river fights where Briar can use (R) to dive and (E) to disengage; only contest with lane priority.
Avoid low-health clears and forced smite fights where Briar's high dueling can punish Ivern's low dueling.

Early game

Start with a safe full clear and mark camps to enable flexible routing away from Briar's high early pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to back counter-ganks against Briar's aggressive early moves.
Avoid early isolated fights; path toward lanes with strong follow-up to punish Briar's failed commits.

Power spikes

Ivern's utility spikes with (Q) root and (R) Daisy knockup enable impactful teamfight setup; use these to protect carries.
Briar spikes with her (Q) stun and (R) long-range dive; respect these by avoiding isolated clears and overextensions.
Briar's high clear speed and dueling power mean early fights favor her unless you have lane priority and teammate support.

Win conditions

Convert creative camp marking and buff-sharing into denying Briar jungle tempo and scaling.
Use (Q), (E), and (R) to enable ganks and counter-ganks around lanes with priority to punish Briar's aggressive engages.
Focus on objective setups with teammates using Ivern's utility to secure dragon and Rift Herald control despite low raw damage.
