Briar - New champion

• Crimson Curse - Innate
  • Innate: Briar's basic attacks and abilities inflict a bleed against enemies for 5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications, stacking up to 9 times and dealing 25% damage for stacks beyond the first. The bleed deals「 10 − 50 (based on level) (+ 50% bonus AD) total physical damage over the duration, up to a maximum of 30 − 150 (based on level) (+ 150% bonus AD). 」「 2 − 10 (based on level) (+ 10% bonus AD) physical damage per second, up to a maximum of 6 − 30 (based on level) (+ 30% bonus AD) per tick. 」Briar heals herself equal to 25% of the pre-mitigation damage dealt. If a target dies while bleeding, she will heal herself equal to 100% of the remaining bleed damage.
  • Briar has no  base health regeneration, but she increases healing from all sources by 0% − 50% (based on missing health).
• Head Rush - Q
  • Active: Briar leaps to the target unit. If the target is an enemy, she deals 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+ 80% bonus AD) physical damage, stuns them for 0.85 seconds, and inflicts them with 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26%  armor reduction for 5 seconds.
  • Cost: 6% current health.
  • Cooldown: 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 seconds.
  • Cast Time: None, Target Range: 450.
• Blood Frenzy - W
  • Active: Briar dashes to the target location. If there is a nearby enemy upon her arrival, she gains Blood Frenzy for 5 seconds, during which she can cast Snack Attack.
  • Blood Frenzy: Briar breaks free from her pillory, turning berserk against the nearest enemy. She reveals the target and gains ghosting, 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120%  bonus attack speed and 24 / 33 / 42 / 51 / 60%  bonus movement speed, as well as empowering her basic attacks to deal 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100% AD physical damage to enemies surrounding her target. This damage is affected by critical strike modifiers.
  • Briar prioritizes attacking champions, then large monsters, and then minions.
  • Blood Frenzy ends early if there are no longer any nearby valid targets or Chilling Scream is cast. If Head Rush is cast on a non-champion, Briar will stop prioritizing champions during the frenzy. Blood Frenzy resets Briar's basic attack timer. Head Rush and Certain Death can be cast during the dash.
  • Cost: 6% current health.
  • Cooldown: 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 seconds.
  • Cast Time: None, Target Range: 75 - 300 / 650, Effect Radius: 1000 / 275, Speed: 1200.
  • Snack Attack - W
    • Active: Briar empowers her next basic attack within 5 seconds during Blood Frenzy to take a bite out of the target enemy, having an uncancelable windup, gaining  50 bonus range, dealing 5 / 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 (+ 105% AD) (+ 10% (+ 4% per 100 bonus AD) of the target's missing health) bonus physical damage and healing for 35 / 42.5 / 50 / 57.5 / 65% of the post-mitigation damage dealt.
    • Snack Attack deals 120% damage against minions and monsters, with the damage based on the target's health ratio being capped at 500.
    • Snack Attack resets Briar's basic attack timer.
    • Cast Time: None.
• Chilling Scream - E
  • Active: Briar charges for up to 1 second, during which she increases Chilling Scream's damage and range, and gains 35% damage reduction and heals herself for 2.5 / 2.875 / 3.25 / 3.625 / 4% maximum health every 0.25 seconds.
  • Chilling Scream can be recast within the duration, and does so automatically afterwards. Chilling Scream's charge cannot be interrupted by crowd control.
  • Recast: Briar unleashes a scream in the target direction that deals 80 / 115 / 150 / 185 / 220 (+ 100% bonus AD) (+ 100% AP) magic damage to enemies hit and slows them by 80% for 0.5 seconds.
  • If Chilling Scream was charged for its full duration, enemies hit are also knocked back 575 units. If they collide with terrain, they will rebound to take 140 / 215 / 290 / 365 / 440 (+ 240% bonus AD) (+ 240% AP) bonus magic damage and become knocked up for 0.5 seconds and stunned for 1.5 seconds.
  • Cost: 6% current health.
  • Cooldown: 18 seconds.
  • Cast Time: None / 0.291 (at base attack speed), Range: -100 / 400 − 600 (based on charge time), Width: 380, Speed: 1900 / 1800.
• Certain Death - R
  • Active: Briar kicks a hemolith in the target direction that briefly grants sight of its surroundings as it travels and marks the first enemy champion hit as her prey, disrupting their ongoing channels and revealing them.
  • If a target is hit, Briar cleanses herself from all crowd control and destroys her pillory over a cast time, afterwards dashing to them with displacement immunity. Upon arrival, she creates an explosion around the marked target that deals 150 / 325 / 500 (+ 110% bonus AD) (+ 110% AP) physical damage to them and nearby enemies and fears all non-marked targets for 1.5 seconds. She then enters a state of Hematomania.
  • Hematomania: Briar gains all effects of Blood Frenzy against the marked target as well as  bonus armor and  bonus magic resistance equal to 20% AD, 10 / 15 / 20%  life steal, and 10 / 20 / 30%  additional bonus movement speed.
  • Hematomania lasts until the marked target dies. If the target becomes invalid, Briar will turn berserk against the nearest other enemy until her target becomes valid again.
  • Casting Chilling Scream ends Hematomania early.
  • Cost: 6% current health.
  • Cooldown: 120 / 100 / 80 seconds.
  • Cast Time: 1 / 1.25, Range: 10000, Effect Radius: Global / 1500 / 575, Width: 320, Speed: 2000 / 2500 - 5000.

    • This makes it consistent with similar spells such as Anivia's Crystallize and Yorick's Dark Procession.
