The full Ability Rundown for Briar has been released by Riot Games, giving us a first look on what the new monstrous, hungering teen will be like in LoL. Briar is a jungle at heart, using her health as a cost for her abilities. However, she uses lifesteal and increased healing as her main characteristics while her kit reminds us a lot of Warwick in a better, more modern version. Take a look below to see the full ability kit for Briar in LoL.
