Briar vs Kayle Matchup Summary

Based on 12 recent matches analyzed, Briar wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Kayle's 50.0%, giving Briar a 0.0 percentage point advantage.

Damage
1,130Briar
742Kayle
Briar heavily out-damages Kayle by 388 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Kayle 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.

0.3Kayle
Briar brings significantly more crowd control than Kayle, with 1.0 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Briar far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

2,400Briar

Briar vastly out-sustains Kayle, healing and mitigating 1,634 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Briar can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Kayle is forced to recall.
