While statistically Briar is slightly stronger than Viego in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Briar deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Viego deals mainly physical damage (82.08%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Viego, ranking 20th (versus 25th for Briar) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Briar player to maintain constant pressure on Viego, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
