How to win the jungle race as Briar against Taliyah · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Briar's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Taliyah.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Briar Favoured | Head Rush's stun gives a clean engage trade at the first buff contest. Threaded Volley on worked ground still chunks melee contests, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-1 crossing only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Briar Dominant | Blood Frenzy sustain turns level-2 skirmishes into races she usually wins. There is no version of this Taliyah wins right now — boulder-field poke plus the W shove keeps duels at their range, and that folds on the second camp. Show on their side of the river and take the second buff and the tempo that comes with it. |
| Level 3 Route | Briar Dominant | Frenzy healing plus charged Chilling Scream is one of the hardest level-3 all-ins. Later in the game this bites, because a W toss into a stunning boulder field bursts you at every choke point. But as the first scuttle timer lands none of it is online, so take the level-3 river fight and tax every camp Taliyah concedes. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Briar Dominant — Keep Fighting | You are the stronger side all through 4-5. Taliyah knows it — she uses 4-5 to shove waves and cross the map, with worked ground making her the faster rotator — so shadow that side of the map and make them fight you anyway. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Certain Death Favoured | Certain Death picks the target and the frenzy finishes it — your all-in has no half-measure, while Weaver's Wall splits the map. You win the breakpoint against Taliyah, not the whole game — cash it on the first objective after both sides hit six. |
| First Item Spike | Sundered Sky / Eclipse Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage and sustained fighting multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Taliyah's first item makes the volley-into-shove combo a real burst instead of chip damage from range. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Briar Favoured at Full Build | You are the better full-build side, narrowly. She zones with mines and splits the map with the wall whenever she wants to, so take the duel with cooldowns up and never mid-rotation. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff camp utilizing your W frenzy to maximize early clear speed and sustain. Taliyah clears very fast with Threaded Volley on worked ground and rotates faster than almost anyone off her passive.
