Briar the Living Weapon

Briar the Living Weapon

Briar was a failed experiment by the Black Rose. She was created to be a living weapon, but her uncontrollable bloodlust made her too dangerous to control. She was kept in a special pillory to focus her frenzied mind, but she eventually broke free and unleashed herself into the world.

Now, Briar is free to do whatever she wants. She follows only her hunger for knowledge and blood. She relishes the opportunities to let loose, even if reining back the frenzy isn’t easy.

Briar is a force to be reckoned with. She is strong, fast, and agile. She is also incredibly intelligent. She is able to learn new things quickly and adapt to any situation.

Briar is a dangerous creature, but she is also a tragic one. She was created to be a weapon, and she was never given a chance to be anything else. She is a victim of the Black Rose’s experiments, and she is now paying the price.

Briar’s story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of scientific hubris. The Black Rose thought they could create a perfect weapon, but they only created a monster. Briar is a reminder that there are some things that should not be tampered with.

Abilities

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. She will also heal for any remaining bleed damage when a bleeding enemy dies.

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.
