Master Yi should focus on efficient full clears to maintain high camp tempo and avoid early fights where Briar's CC and dueling power dominate.
Prioritize scaling through safe farming and look to enter fights only after Briar commits key crowd control or is low health to leverage reset potential.
Jungle Plan
Prioritize full clears and cross-map camp trades to maintain item tempo and avoid direct fights against Briar's strong early dueling.
Contest Scuttle Crab and river control only when allied lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Use tracking to counter-gank Briar's early skirmishes, then capitalize on her cooldowns and reset chains to secure objectives like Dragon and Rift Herald.
Danger windows
Avoid isolated river fights early where Briar's CC and mobility can trap you before your damage and resets are online.
Beware of forced smite fights early; Briar's dueling and engage tools can outmatch you before your item power spike.
Be cautious when low health during clears, as Briar can punish with her high early game pressure and CC to snowball advantage.
Early game
Start with a full clear to reach item spikes quickly and avoid early river fights where Briar's high early pressure and CC can punish.
Only contest first Scuttle Crab if nearby lanes have priority and can support counter-ganks against Briar's engage.
Avoid early invades unless you have clear vision on Briar's position and lane priority to prevent getting caught by her sticky engages.
Power spikes
At level 6, use (R) to chase down low-health targets after Briar commits her CC to start resets and clean up fights.
After first item completion, increase objective control and punish chaotic skirmishes where Briar overextends or misuses her engage.
Respect Briar's early power spike where her (Q), (E), and (R) enable strong engages and skirmishes; avoid fighting before your item and level 6 spikes.
Win conditions
Win by maintaining uninterrupted farm to reach key item spikes and level 6, then use (R) resets to clean up fights after enemy CC is used.
Use cross-map pathing and vision control to counter-gank Briar's early pressure and secure Scuttle, Dragon, and Rift Herald objectives.
Deny Briar tempo by avoiding early fights, then punish messy skirmishes and objective fights where she splits CC or overcommits, leveraging your scaling carry damage.
