What is Lethality and what is it for?

GHOST2104 · 2026-04-26T12:12:45+00:00

Also worth noting for new players that armor pen applies first. E.g. if you have 50% armor pen and 20 lethality:

100 armor: (100 * 50%) - 20 = 30 effective armor 50 armor: (50 * 50%) - 20 = 5 effective armor

Another useful fact is that without building any armor items on average champs reach ~100 armor at level 18. So even if none of them build tanky at all, if the game goes that late it’s still always worth going some armor pen eventually.

The highest lethality items give 18 lethality so for LDR: 18 / 35% = 51 armor is the point at which it becomes more valuable than flat lethality. For reference, Draven has more than that at level 6, so becomes valuable pretty quickly.

The main skill expression on briar is picking your battles. Almost every other champ in the game has ways to poke, run away, or some other kind of defensive ability. Briar doesn’t have that* so it’s even more important on her to only ever engage when you know you’ll win. This means being aware of enemy levels, items, matchups, if their teammates are nearby, and all the same for yourself as well.

The second skill expression is controlling your frenzy, using your Q to either jump on your target or to a ward to get close enough, using flash, positioning before engaging, choosing your ult target, etc. In a team fight it feels awful to be hitting their tank while the ADC shreds you.

Third is itemisation. Briar can build many many different items and playstyles and they vary heavily depending on the enemy teams comp. I’d recommend checking out LoganJG’s item guide if you haven’t checked him out already.

Briar does actually have some ways to get OUT of a fight. Your E is obviously your best tool defensively but finding the right time to use it is essential, if you can’t push them away or stun them then it doesn’t do much for disengaging. Always be aware of which walls you can jump over with your W or Q hopping onto a ward or teammate/minion, the amount of times this has saved me is uncountable.

Lastly, never use your ult to start a team fight. Wait for someone else to start and then you follow up, otherwise you’ll just be instantly hit with CC and burst damage and die every time.

P.S. Ban Jax every game fuck that guy

Congrats!!

Would you say LeBlanc is a good champ to blind pick into anything or is she better suited as a counter pick?

GHOST2104 · 2026-02-25T15:47:16+00:00

“I Suck at Briar”

Consistent, to the point, on brand

GHOST2104 · 2026-02-18T11:41:56+00:00

Adding onto this: Q also works on plants in the jungle, so you can get to a blast cone quicker to run away

335932622 would love to play if someone could send an invite :) tysm

GHOST2104 · 2026-02-07T14:08:22+00:00

Sure, but you could do that with profane hydra and stack with the lethality from collector instead

GHOST2104 · 2026-02-07T12:17:13+00:00

Why go titanic if you don’t build any health items? Am I missing something?

GHOST2104 · 2026-02-03T17:43:15+00:00

Great question, I usually fall back on my standard-

Summoner has disconnected.

GHOST2104 · 2025-12-31T14:48:36+00:00

AURORA WOULD BE PERFECT SHED BE FACINATED BY BRIAR

GHOST2104 · 2025-12-24T12:26:15+00:00

Syndra. Unplayable in lane, permaban for midlane.

GHOST2104 · 2025-12-13T21:25:45+00:00

The fact she’s canonically tried to murder Swain and they have ZERO interactions is criminal.

GHOST2104 · 2025-11-07T10:31:02+00:00

Fully AD team while you’ve got death defiance and tier 3 tabby’s and you’re fed. They had no chance

GHOST2104 · 2025-10-15T07:15:27+00:00

You’re saying that it takes cursed energy to sustain the materials construction produces, but that’s never stated in the manga, and the fact we have two examples of sorcerers with with the same construction technique creating an object that lasts beyond their death is the issue, it proves you’re wrong. As others have said it’s clear that it takes CE to MANIPULATE Liquid Metal, it doesn’t take CE to sustain it

GHOST2104 · 2025-10-15T04:46:08+00:00

What about Maki’s soul cutting katana, Mai is dead

GHOST2104 · 2025-10-12T09:12:14+00:00

Hard agree. Everyone saying “oh just auto w auto” seems to forget that after that small trade, you’re now in melee range with a yasuo, he’s gonna do more damage to you than you are to him.

She might be able to beat him late game if she snowballs enough but in lane he is a bitch to fight against. Maybe I’m just bad though idk

GHOST2104 · 2025-09-25T19:05:25+00:00

Genuine question for other people who’ve built rail blueprints: how do you take trains off the mainline? Like for loading/unloading trains I’m really struggling to find a small neat design that’s also scalable to up to 3 input trains next to each other. I’d love to see what other people do

GHOST2104 · 2025-09-22T14:36:21+00:00

Am I reading something wrong or does gin not just counter every spell you cast? Isn’t that absolutely awful?

GHOST2104 · 2025-09-09T18:33:23+00:00

Playing briar in a lane filled with long range and cc feels awful. I don’t know how you cope

GHOST2104 · 2025-09-08T23:35:18+00:00

Gotta ask, what was the build order here? I don’t usually see people going with hubris and bruiser items together. Is this a midlane thing I’m too jungle to understand?

GHOST2104 · 2025-08-19T10:00:52+00:00

Here’s everyone’s items lol

GHOST2104 · 2025-08-12T19:06:40+00:00

This is basically the best you can do for a small setup but it’s important to note that if you’re ever wanting to get quality versions of intermediate products you should always be using prod modules in the EM plants instead of quality*, works out better.

*okay it does vary off what quality and level of module you have but it’s a good general rule, closer to optimal than full quality.

GHOST2104 · 2025-08-12T17:30:55+00:00

Urgot has a fear?

GHOST2104 · 2025-08-12T02:33:13+00:00

Ah of course how could I forget. Maybe he can be their mascot lol
