The abilities of League of Legends’ new Vampire champion, Briar, have been leaked.
The Vampire champion, Briar, has been a hot topic among the League of Legends community for the last couple of months. Since the release of Naafiri, players have been eagerly waiting for any bit of new information about Briar. They had been analyzing the few details they had and speculating on how she would turn out.
However, it appears that they won’t have to speculate much longer, as Briar’s abilities have apparently been revealed. Following the leak of her Splash Art, we recently received another large leak regarding her Lore and Abilities.
According to the leaks by Big Bad Bear, she is a failed experiment of the Noxian secret organization, Black Rose. Due to the experiment done on her, she has become uncontrollable and is thus confined in a pillory. The pillory acts as a restraint and also helps to focus her mind. Without the pillory, she bursts into a frenzy and only follows her hunger for “Knowledge and Blood.”
In addition to her Lore, we also got some information regarding her abilities. According to the leaks, she will be a Fighter/Diver champion, like Vi, with abilities similar to Warwick’s.
