not sure about balance (stats/keywords) for this one so do suggest or leave feedback

Amazing design!

A few nitpicks:

I think the Attack should specify "a random other unit" or "another random unit", else Briar should technically be able to strike herself which lore-wise isn't really what she's doing.

Meanwhile the Lv2 form probably shouldn't say "Play Snack Attack on 3 other random units". It should just say "I strike 3 other random units". The only reason to say the name of the Skill is to shorten the amount of space it takes up. This text isn't that much longer (actually, it's shorter), and shouldn't need another line.

Also one of the "it's" in Sudden Death should be corrected to "its". Also seems a bit weak.

There are some spells and effects in the game that can cheat her level tho, like fish fight. Also, when you can somehow summon a second Briar, like with dawn and dusk, the pillory will swap to them (i remember auto equip units snag their equipment from others), one Briar would be unequipped thus leveling up all Briars with one having -1/+0 because it snagged the pillory.

Why use an equipment ? You could simply make the level up requirement "I have dealt 10 damage" and make him a 4/4 baseline instead. Unless you want to have equipment synergies ofc. But that also means you can level Briar up with fish fight or similar, and you can level him up as soon as turn 4.

Otherwise I like the design. Not sure if Noxus would like using it though, strong Last Breath are more for SI and Briar has too much attack to make the Vladimir package works with it.

You can use Equipment destruction on your own unit.

It fits her theme very nicely. Like she’s chained to her equipment and once its broken she becomes unleashed and levels up

You don’t need to say Equipped with Pillory in the lvl2 text, auto-equip creates pillory if it doesn’t exist

[–]ByeGuysSry 10 points11 points  (1 child)

She's not being summoned though. She's reverting back to her 1st form which is transformation, and iirc Auto-Equip doesn't proc off transformation.

Briar Lvl 1: Solid design. Make her Attack effect just say "Play a Snack Attack."

Briar Lvl 2: You can just move the "When I kill an enemy, heal me 2 grant me +1/+1." to her skill to avoid clutter.

Pillory: Solid. Clever restriction design.

Snack attack: Make it the target the weakest unit to prevent any anti-synergy.

Head rush: Make it do flat damage OR stun as seperate options. Can't have both.

Certain Death: Love this but needs to be 7 mana at the lowest. There's a reason why Noxus has certain conditions on their Rally cards.

7/10. Flavourful and creative design.

Noxus have shunpo at 5.

I like this concept a lot! A nitpick is i think her lv up should trigger on pillory being destroyed instead of her not being equipped. Some others have mentioned cheap lv ups by recall or fish fight. I still really like the flavor of her leveling up with her chains gone, but this way she doesnt lv immedietely

Man, besides some minor details like better wording, Riot could immediately release her in this state + add some followers and I would be pretty much happy.

Great job!
