Is Briar better when played alongside Rakan?

There is no perfect ally for Briar that will always be their best ally. However, Rakan is a very typical companion for Briar. By locking into the same side as Briar, he improves their win rate by 0.9% to 52.6%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong bond between Briar and Rakan that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Rakan has a greater difficulty than Briar. That means you need to be cautious when lining up Rakan allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing on the same side, Briar players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

In contrast, by pairing Briar and Rakan together, you probably will not be granting your other allies a great deal of engage. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Rakan ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
