Farming
3.2Briar
3.5Lux

Damage
700Briar
761Lux
Lux deals 61 more champion damage per minute than Briar. While noticeable in extended trades, this gap can be offset by Briar choosing favorable fight windows, such as engaging when Lux's key abilities are on cooldown or trading immediately after dodging a skillshot.
Economy
11,486Briar
10,367Lux
Briar generates a commanding 1,119 more gold per game than Lux. This substantial economic advantage means Briar consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.9Briar
1.9Lux
Lux brings significantly more crowd control than Briar, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Lux far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Briar should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,689Briar
440Lux
Briar vastly out-sustains Lux, healing and mitigating 1,249 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Briar can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Lux is forced to recall.
