Briar – LoL Abilities Rundown

Briar is the newest addition to the roster of LoL champions. She is supposedly going to be a jungler but judging from her kit, she might be flexed towards the top lane role as well.

Some of the more particular characteristics of her kit are the lack of health regeneration and the fact that she’s resourceless. She bases her abilities on having a fervent hunger, and the fact that she unleashes her power when she breaks out of her pillory. Below you can see the current tooltips of all the abilities given by game designer Spideraxe. Please bear in mind that numbers are subject to changes.
