Blood Frenzy Basics Briar thrives on a unique playstyle centered around her "Blood Frenzy" (W) ability, which sends her into an uncontrollable state that must be managed with her E. Mastering when to enter and exit this bloodlust state is crucial for success.

Skill Priority and Order

  1. W (Blood Frenzy) - Max first
  2. Q - Max second
  3. E - Max last

Key Leveling Note: Take W at level 1 and again at level 3 for faster jungle clear. However, if early fights are likely, take Q at level 3 instead.
