Briar vs Ivern Matchup Summary

The Briar vs Ivern matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play.

Briar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Ivern players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Damage
1,088Briar
361Ivern
Briar heavily out-damages Ivern by 727 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Ivern should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Briar's sustained damage advantage take over.

11,584Ivern
Briar generates a commanding 5,526 more gold per game than Ivern. This substantial economic advantage means Briar consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.3Briar
1.9Ivern
Ivern provides 0.6 seconds more crowd control per minute than Briar, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Ivern coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
