Is Briar better when played alongside Lucian?

There is no one best synergy for Briar that will 100% of the time be their #1 synergy. However, Lucian is a relatively poor teammate for Briar.

Lucian has a greater difficulty than Briar. That means Briar players should be cautious when lining up Lucian teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by bringing Briar and Lucian together, you may not be granting your side much magic damage. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Lucian ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
