A level-by-level game plan for Briar vs Pantheon.
Levels 1-2
Your clear order and first camp decide tempo — track the enemy jungler's likely path.
- Briar wants to farm safely and soak poke — you usually win extended trades, not short pokes.
- Pantheon usually wins extended trades — don't let them land 3+ autos on you in one exchange.
- OP.GG data flags Pantheon as a strong counter to Briar in this role — expect them to look for early trades, so play a touch safer than usual.
Levels 3-5
First gank windows open. Prioritize lanes with a lead-friendly matchup and reliable CC.
- Look for sustained trades once your combo is online — you should win 3+ auto exchanges.
- Respect their all-in combo once it's off cooldown; disengage rather than trading blow-for-blow.
Level 6
Ultimates come online map-wide — expect the first real skirmishes around objectives.
- Your ultimate should turn close trades into clean all-ins — commit once it's up.
- Their ultimate likely turns a close trade into a kill — play with more space once it's up.
Levels 7-11
Objective control becomes the main scoreboard — track enemy jungler position at all times.
- Use your duelling advantage to pressure side lanes and punish bad positioning.
- They'll look to duel you near objectives — avoid isolated skirmishes without backup.
Levels 12-15
Your itemization decides whether you're a skirmisher, teamfighter, or split-push threat.
- Your bruiser items let you dive backlines or hold the front line depending on the fight.
- Bruiser items make Pantheon hard to fight alone — group up before engaging them.
Level 16+
Baron and late objectives decide the game — vision matters more than mechanics now.
- You're a flexible teamfight piece — decide per fight whether to peel, dive, or split push.
- They flex between diving your backline and holding the front — track their position first.
