Briar, League of Legends’ newest champion, will be available in Patch 13.18, along with all of her abilities
Briar is scheduled to be released in Patch 13.18 as League of Legends new jungler. It was previously stated that the new champion will be a “hangry jungler.”
Briar has received more teases since then. Much of the information, including the in-game teases created by Riot, has already been released.
Briar is a diving jungler that balances her controlled self with a unique Blood Frenzy state that enables players to lose control of her while she rips through her foes and feeds on them with enhanced healing via damage.
Along with that, Riot has also revealed her full set of abilities, and in this article, we will list everything you need to know about her kit.
