Use Kha'Zix's isolation damage and stealth to punish Briar's tendency to commit in extended fights by picking off isolated targets in the jungle or river.
Prioritize vision control around objectives to create fog-of-war picks and avoid Briar's sticky engage and counter-ganks.
Jungle Plan
Full clear with a path focused on camps near lanes that can isolate targets and provide safe angles for ganks or invades.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to support river control and deny Briar's tempo.
Use vision and fog control to invade Briar's jungle when she commits to fights or overextends, focusing on isolated camps to maximize your dueling advantage.
Danger windows
Avoid isolated river fights early where Briar's (Q) stun and (R) dive can punish you before your stealth is evolved.
Beware of Briar's engage when she has lane priority and can collapse quickly, especially around first Scuttle and early objectives.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Briar's sustained damage and crowd control can overwhelm you.
Early game
Start with a clear path that allows you to reach river Scuttle early and contest it only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Briar's high early pressure.
Avoid fighting Briar in grouped skirmishes early; instead, look for isolated camps or jungle entrances to punish her with (Q) burst.
Track Briar's pathing carefully to anticipate her first gank and be ready to counter-gank or avoid her high gank threat windows.
Power spikes
Level 6 unlocks (R) stealth and first evolution, enabling stronger picks and repositioning; use fog to find isolated targets before objectives.
First damage item significantly boosts your isolation burst; use this power spike to invade and punish Briar when she overextends or is alone.
Respect Briar's early high pressure and strong extended fight potential; avoid isolated fights before your key spikes are online.
Win conditions
Convert isolation picks into objective control by securing dragon and Rift Herald after removing enemy vision and isolating targets.
Use fog and evolved (E) resets to cross-map and counter-jungle Briar safely, denying her scaling and tempo.
Focus on snowballing through successful ganks and picks on overextended or isolated enemies to leverage your high dueling and objective damage potential.
