How to win the jungle race as Lillia against Briar · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Lillia's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Briar.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Danger — Avoid Briar | Do not be seen at the first buff: Blood Frenzy lifesteal out-heals your full combo once she commits. On top of that, Head Rush's stun gives a clean engage trade at the first buff contest, so they get there first. Disengage cleanly or finish her — half-measures just feed her frenzy healing. Skip the level-1 crossing and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Danger — Avoid Briar | Hard no-contest for Lillia at level 2: Blood Frenzy sustain turns level-2 skirmishes into races she usually wins, and Blood Frenzy lifesteal out-heals your full combo once she commits. Disengage cleanly or finish her — half-measures just feed her frenzy healing. Path opposite, ward your entrances, and let the clock carry you to your own spike. |
| Level 3 Route | Danger — Avoid Briar | Blood Frenzy lifesteal out-heals your full combo once she commits. Frenzy healing plus charged Chilling Scream is one of the hardest level-3 all-ins on top of that, so level 3 is a straight stat check Lillia loses — disengage cleanly or finish her — half-measures just feed her frenzy healing, and give the river vision-line respect. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Respect Briar — Path Opposite | Do not trade windows with Briar here: she spends 4-5 looking for a lane with CC, because the Blood Frenzy dive only fails when nobody follows it. Path opposite, keep your entrances warded, and answer the map, not the champion. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Even Ult Window | Both sixes are real: Lilting Lullaby sleeps the whole skirmish — your dream-dust damage decides it, while Certain Death picks the target and the frenzy finishes it. Whoever lands their ultimate first wins the window — track the level race and never be the one caught at five and a half. |
| First Item Spike | Liandry's Spike | Liandry's turns your dust and burn into real damage, and your kite-duel into a genuine threat even against bruisers. Your clear becomes self-sustaining health-wise and absurd tempo-wise. Force Briar to contest you at camps where your orbit has room, and melt them when they try. Briar's first item is a step change: the frenzy lifesteal starts out-healing full combos rather than just chip damage. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Lillia Favoured at Full Build | You are the better full-build side, narrowly. She heals through most burst and can no longer be duelled below half health, so take the duel with cooldowns up and never mid-rotation. |
Start the buff that lets you chain into raptors early — your AoE Q wants the chaos camps. Briar's start side matters little; your clear wins the race regardless, so path for your own efficiency. Briar clears fast and healthy because Blood Frenzy heals her through the camps, so she is usually first to the river.
