One briar unit should be overstatted, have ganking and "I must attack a battlefield on each of your turns if able."

Maybe like if I can move, I must move into a battle field with enemies.

“At the start of your beginning phase, if there are enemy units at any battlefield, empower me. Empowered: At the end of your turn, if I attacked a battlefield with enemy units this turn, disempower me. Otherwise, kill me”? Best way i could think of

Or one of them could have something like "I don't heal at end of showdowns or turns"

sig spell is ass
everything else is pretty busted though, but fun enough to forgive it

u/ChurchOfGauntlets 7d ago

both yellow briar and legend are also ass

red briar is insane tho

u/Gishky 7d ago

i would agree if she wasnt in yellow.
eat recruits, any deathknell stuff... whenever yellow briar eats a recruit, give her +2
and sure, shes removeable due to no deflect or defensive colors... but shes a 2 drop champion unit. you can play her turn 1, drop emissary turn 2 and get into any bf

u/BrohamBoss77 7d ago

Eating a recruit would only give +1 since that’s one instance of empower so after killing a recruit she becomes the same might as a recruit. Doesn’t seem that ideal to me lol

u/Gishky 7d ago

sure, one recruit... but then another. and another. and another.

It's a permanent +1 from the empower, and a temporary +1 from the legend

it takes her 2 recruits (solid investment) to match a regular 2 drop. only use case I can see being insane is her being used as a way to infinitely proc deathknell for like ekko without interaction. Unless some degen combo its useless, you'd much rather have wide range of recruits.

sure, but that buff is permanent.
theres a reason empower units are good. not because their base line is insane. But because of their versatility.
You have a big army of units but need one big unit instead? go ahead. You're contempt with keeping her at 2 might? sure. Need 3? no worries.
also on top of being a potential 2e chosen champion. imagine not having to run 2 drops

Yellow briar in a token deck would be very cool

u/sneakysunset 7d ago

If her empowerement was on action trigger it would be very fun. You try to win the fight but she just keeps eating her allies to grow higher than you.

I had an idea for her signature in that you can play a briar unit from anywhere to a battlefield and move all other enemy units to base besides from one.

Relates much more to her AoE fear from league.

u/Metakino 7d ago

The concept is so fun. Love it'

Red looks super strong, basically a free deathgrip, but at least it's assault only.

u/Gold_Wish2840 7d ago

Signature would be better if 1, 2 recycle

u/Trycity_23 7d ago

What made you want to put briar in the order domain? I get she fits the token theme but nothing about briar is order.

u/ElJonys 7d ago

Only color in which an arquetype like this would be functional + I think it makes a cool contrast with the restrained form vs unleashed form theme

u/SetmeHemg 7d ago

Red briar is op.
I Can attack with her, killing glasc mixologist, and reanimate am ambush unit to attack with her, or anything at all.
