Ivern vs Briar Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
In Jungle, this is Ivern versus Briar — a support/mage hybrid against a fighter/assassin hybrid. The sample behind this page is 323 games from patch 16.13.1, and Ivern wins 48.3% of them. A deficit of 1.7 points is what earns Briar its counter flag in this matchup.
Brushmaker (W) and Certain Death (R) are usually what decide a trade between Ivern and Briar. Ultimates decide the rest — Daisy! versus Certain Death. Note the resource bars too: Mana versus Fury.
The 475-versus-125 attack range gap means Ivern can contest the wave from outside Briar’s reach. Ivern can poke for free, so Briar has to pick a moment instead of trading blindly.
Ivern pressures through magic damage; Briar through physical. Level-one bases: Ivern 630 HP / 27 armour / 30 MR, Briar 625 / 30 / 32. Late-game bases read 2313 health / 107 armour for Ivern and 2240 / 106 for Briar. Base attack damage is 50 against 60, so Briar wins the raw auto-attack exchange. Briar moves quicker at base (330 against 340), which shows up on roams.
A 7/10 difficulty rating on Ivern, against 3/10, means the sample includes plenty of players still learning it. Read 48.3% as a trend: 323 games is useful, not final. Data here updates on its own rather than sitting as a fixed snapshot taken on 16.13.1.
