Wukong into Briarmedium

Overview

Prioritize hitting level 6 quickly with a three-camp clear to leverage for impactful river fights.
Avoid early skirmishes without lane priority to prevent Briar's high early pressure from punishing isolated clears.
Use clone deception to bait Briar's cooldowns before committing to contested river objectives.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong follow-up to maximize multi-target knockup impact in ganks and river fights.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald only when you control Scuttle vision and can force Briar into unfavorable fights.
Track Briar's pathing to counter-gank her high early pressure and punish her forced frenzy cooldowns with collapses.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Briar's early pressure and mobility can overwhelm you.
Be cautious during forced smite fights on dragon or Herald if Briar's nearby lanes have priority and can collapse.
Prioritize health and vision before committing, as low-health clears increase vulnerability to Briar's sticky engage.

Early game

Start with a controlled three-camp clear to reach level 6 efficiently before contesting river objectives.
Only contest first Scuttle Crab if nearby lanes have priority and can follow your engage.
Avoid early invades without vision and lane support due to Briar's strong early dueling and mobility.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks for multi-target knockups, boosting river skirmishes and objective control.
Completing your first core item spike increases dueling potential to punish Briar's extended fights.
Respect Briar's level 6 fear by avoiding isolated fights without lane backup.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engages into secured dragon and Rift Herald objectives by coordinating with lane priority.
Use clone deception to bait out Briar's cooldowns, then counter-invade or force skirmishes with your dueling advantage.
Deny Briar free farm and tempo by tracking her path and collapsing with lanes ready to follow your engage.
