Briar, the Restrained Hunger, is the new character of League of Legends

League of Legends is about to receive yet another playable character. Briar, the Restrained Hunger, was officially presented by Riot Games as the 165th champion of the game, which is the most popular MOBA today.

Meet Briar, the new League of Legends champion

Briar is a vampire originally from the region of Noxus. She was created after a failed Black Rose experiment and lived much of her life cloistered, to later be used as a powerful weapon.

Now free, Briar is ready to discover who she really is, while trying to control her insatiable hunger.

Champion jungler Briar arrives in League of Legends on September 13th as part of the game’s 13.18 update, less than two months after Naafiri’s arrival in the MOBA’s roster of playable characters.

Briar’s Skills

Passive – Crimson Curse

Briar’s attacks and abilities apply a stacking bleed that heals her for a portion of the damage dealt. Perpetually hungry, she gains increased healing based on her missing health but lacks innate health regeneration.

Q – Head Rush

Briar leaps to a unit dealing damage as well as stunning them and breaking their armor.

Briar will stop prioritizing enemy Champions if she casts this ability on a minion or monster during the effects of Blood Frenzy.

W – Blood Frenzy/Snack Attack

Briar leaps forward and shatters her pillory, entering a Blood Frenzy that causes her to relentlessly pursue the nearest enemy (prioritizing champions). While frenzied she gains increased Attack Speed and Move Speed and her attacks deal damage in an area around her target.

Briar can reactivate this ability while frenzied to take a CHOMP out of her target on the next attack, dealing additional damage based on their missing health and healing her based on the damage dealt.

E – Chilling Scream

Briar refocuses her mind, removing Blood Frenzy and channeling energy into a powerful scream that damages and slows enemies.

While charging she takes reduced damage and heals for a portion of her max health. A fully charged scream knocks back, dealing additional damage and stunning enemies that hit a wall.

R – Certain Death

Briar kicks a hemolith, marking the first champion hit as her prey. She then belines straight to them, fearing other surrounding enemies on arrival, and enters a state of complete hematomania.

She will pursue her prey until one of them dies, gaining the effects of Blood Frenzy as well as additional Armor, Magic Resist, Lifesteal, and Move Speed.
