Briar is avery strong championin the newLoL Swarmgame mode, bringing some great survivability and plenty of area damage to wipe out hordes of enemies. With theright weapons and passives, she can quickly go from good to great and can protect her teammates from deadly swarms. Here’s the best build for Briar inLeague of Legends’ Swarmmode.
The best build for Briar in LoL Swarm
Briar’s whole playstyle revolves around getting in, doing massive amounts of damage to a crowd, and getting out before it becomes too overwhelming for her. While this means we want to pick weapons and passives that focus on doing damage, having a few sustain passives can go a long way in making sure you can disengage without going down.
Best Briar weapons
Briar’s primary weapon,Pillory Swipe, is the bread and butter of this build. Each attack swipes in a large area, hitting anything possible while going much faster when using either of Briar’s abilities. This ability evolves off Max Health, while scaling off passives like Damage, Crit Chance, Ability Haste, and Area Size. As such, we’ll want weapons that reflect that:
Best Briar passives
As with any good build inLoL Swarm, our passives will revolve around getting those evolutions and playing off what scales for the main weapon, Pillory Swipe. However, that leaves two extra passive slots to play around with, so we’ll go for a few extra stats that can help Briar:
Besides the evolve-related passives, Ability Haste helps Pillory Swipe, Searing Shortbow, and Bunny Mega-Blast with scaling. Otherwise, Movement Speed reinforces that get-in, get-out playstyle mentioned earlier.
How to unlock Briar in LoL Swarm
To get Briar for yourself, you’ll want to progress past the first map intoThe Outskirts and survive until you beat Briar. She appears at the 15-minute mark and can be a difficult boss if you’re unprepared. Her main attacks consist of firing out several cones that can cause you to flee, along with launching missiles from the top of the screen downward.
