Farming
1.1Briar

Damage
819Briar
658Wukong
Briar heavily out-damages Wukong by 160 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Wukong 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.

Both Briar and Wukong provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.3s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
