Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 4.2% popularity, Briar constantly encounters meta-dominant Trundle (8.4%, 3rd place out of 54 Jungle champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Briar performance in the current patch. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Briar's impressive 52.0% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Trundle presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Press the Attack + Triumph combination (54.2% win rate) plus optimal itemization Titanic Hydra, Black Cleaver, Death's Dance, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 47.8% to 62.3% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Briar's superior farming (6.04 vs 5.52/min, 25th among Jungle) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.52 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Briar outputs more damage (786 vs 546/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Trundle: leads in both matchup win rate (52.2%) and KDA (2.90 vs 2.30, 6th vs 49th place). Briar players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Trundle as Briar (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Briar deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Trundle deals mainly physical damage (79.63%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Briar is higher farming statistics (ranked 25th among role champions) (versus 39th for Trundle), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.9 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Briar Jungle versus Trundle Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Briar player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Trundle player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
