@@kingofdragons7 Tbh there aren't much and if I were in his shoes I'd just focus on drama also since Riot has ton of shit decisions lately and those get more views than lore content. It's a sad truth.
i just wanna know... why... she has an interaction with talon. I know he is technically involved with the black rose. but there are at least 3 other champs i could see her talking to instead that she doesnt
Let me guess. This gonna be first weird sentient-weapon x Human love story we will ever get. Vaarus is its own thing (unintentionally wrote it "right ") Kayne x rhaast is something I can imagine yi and Tryndamere talking to their swords. Aatrox is just pure item Naafiri has that toxic- pack friendship going one
I guess we'll find this one out soon on her color story where she may be befriended Talon in some of his missions or the other way or maybe the Black Rose gave a mission to Talon as to babysi- to look and spy Briar 😅
i like the implications that briar herself has formed her own version of humanity because she didnt want to become a single minded monster like other ones in prison
LeBlanc and the Black Rose might actually be the worst evil mastermind ever. Not worst as in “she’s so malicious and devious”, worst as in actually just bad at it. Literally every plan she’s made has blown up in her face.
That's because she's trying too hard. She knows that whatever she does Mordekaiser *will* come back yet she still makes futile attempts to stop him. In her panic she rushes everything without considering variables. To her credit her plans DID work in the past, it's just Swain kinda messed her up by blowing them up
@@HelloHello-wn4gd her plans were never truly successful, if i remember correctly mordekaiser allowed himself to be betrayed so he can go back to the death realm and gather an army
@@honeybeech4580nah they're Auntie and Niece (vlad is Viego's uncle so in a sense gwen is his grandchild and if briar is Vlad's kid then she's her Aunt...)
the artist behind the splash art put all of the sketches for it on their twitter and basically with little descriptions of what they are, it seems she's now residing near Vladimir's castle since that's where all of the sketches were made and basically working as a "guard dog" for him at the moment
If i had a dollar for every child that was experimented on by the black rose, only to escape and wreak havoc amongst noxus i would have 2$ Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice
It's actually 3$ (more like two and a half xD), cause Annie may not be a child experimented... but her mother was, and Annie DEFINITELY is wreaking havoc in Noxus xDDDDD
If you count child soldiers you will have 2 extra $. It's Kayn and Taliyah at that point in time they were thrown to the frontline. At least now they are wrecking havok somewhere else.
@@RodrigoLeaf15 It's more of a 3-and-a-half. Annie's mother is the third, and Annie herself is "the half" - as you said, she wasn't outright experimented on, but they did try to put her into one of these schools of theirs, which Annie ended up burning down. Though we don't know what happened later.
if she's following escape-buddy and he was from there i could see that since there are both demacians and noxian soldiers on her splah art background (maybe black rose or swain agents tailing her?)
I don't think Sylas could travel to any of Demacia-Noxus battlefield since the latest story we got is he was around Dermacia-Freljord border. Sylas also got no reason to be with Noxus since he also hate Noxus as much as other Dermacian.
@@cottardTVconsidering how much they hate Magic and Noxians not gonna be surprised if some demacian border guards decided to cross the border and try and kill two birds with one stone only
eh i dont think shes as strong as sylas, and demacia has no reason to keep her alive, shes a monster and magical Noxian weapon, theyd just kill her only way i can see her being a threat is if Demacia's petricite permanently breaks her shackles by weakening the magic but does nothing to her own source of power If petricite drains her too, she will be killed pretty fast by Infantry and if not, monster hunters. Demacia has a looot of monster hunters.
@@unnameduser5647 its one of the dialogues that you could trigger in the client teaser by clicking into the door. There is a 22 min video on youtube called "League of legends Briar Danger teaser all interactions" that might go through all of them
yeah this happened in the client during the "Danger" phase. Sion is heard saying "the hunger, it gnaws" and Briar responds with something like "you're not the only one who's hungry, Sion!"
We actually already knew about Swain's knowledge of Sion. It's mentionned in Sion's bio that Swain uses him to scare parts of the Empire that are tempted to secede into compliance.
For Sion : in her interactive teaser, there's also a voiceline where we hear Sion yells that he is hungry, and Briar telling him "yes, I know, me too u_u"
Necrit, you always do so well explaining things like this. I can't keep track of everything going on in the massive universe of LoL and I can always count on you to provide an entertaining, informative way of keeping me updated. Thank you
By the way she was actually created by Vladimirs blood! Since Vladimir is one of the oldests hemomancers and a vampire himself the black rose used this to their advantage and made Briar the failed fighter.
So darkwill wanted to make a being that didn't rely on food or energy to keep alive And then made a being that only thinks about sustinance 10/10 would do again
Here are some stories Necrit Skipped Stories: Trouble - Annie Remember Me - Karma The Spear of Targon(Updated version) - Pantheon Child of Zaun - Urgot Big Head, Bad News - Sett
Her actually using the pillories power for her own benefit is really really cool. I thought the design of her running around in shackles, which she keeps breaking and reforming instead of just taking it off was stupid, but now im sold!
if she doesn't mind not outright constantly killing people and only asks for small drops of blood, maybe but they are far apart from each other right now.
One of the things that I'm still thinking it's about Thresh that he's also on Noxus since he got free from the Shadow Isles, if we talk about expanding or develop the lore more it's not that Riot doesn't have stories to continue, I'm hopeful that Riot is doing something and they are not telling us... yet.
The coolest part to me is just how in some aspects she’s really mature and understands, but in others she’s completely new to. She wants to go out and explore the world and learn about cultures, and that’s just an awesome part of her. But she also still understands about how to control herself, balance, and that there’s more to life then simply blood. It’s awesome the balance they struck with her lore
I mean her voiceline with Vlad might imply it was his blood she was made out of, I mean if you were going to make a hemomancy bio weapon why not have the base material come from one of the most powerful hemomancers.
The only thing that doesn't convince me is calling Briar a vampire. Maybe they did start with a vampire concept but Briar ended up becoming what she is now. The thing is, they advertised Briar would be a real vampire, unlike Vladimir. But no, she ended up very similar to Sion, ironically. But since she isn't a zombie and she very clearly isn't a vampire either, considering the way she was created, that would make her a homunculus.
Yeah pretty sad, lore wise I was expecting something like a vampire that's very powerful, constantly looking for prey due to the high need of blood to fuel her power, not a berserker who has a semblance of sanity Ingame isn't good either :/ she stat checks and auto loses against champs with mobility due to her berserk status
I love how all Black Rose plans fails miserably. They want me to see LeBlanc as a master of strategy and manipulation but everything makes me see her as a joke.
Doesn't Swain willingly keep Sion locked up until he needs a living weapon? Then he orders Sion to be dragged on to a battlefield and released killing friend and foe alike? That's how I read Sion's story, but I'm also taking LOR lore into account.
I love Bair’s overall character, I said on twitter that she’s how’d I imagine If powder from arcane went to jail instead of Vi. I love her design, her personality, just everything about her
I like me an enemy who seems to just be having fun with it, also she is scary when you think about it, just the kind of scary you would get with the joker, where you would be nervous being in the same room as them because you don't know if they'll decide to kill you, or even if they know if they'll do that. Like i'm pretty sure not many people would enjoy being in the same room as Jinx, same goes here.
not that she has any personality. I disagree. This whole story is weak and character is flat. not to mention.. another superpowered edgy gurl. sigh.. at least its not as bad as viego
Wait. So did she pull the guard THROUGH the bars with her teeth, or did she somehow absorb them? Because the former is probably the most terrifying fate i can imagine.
Briar: living weapon hidden in Noxus Sylas: living weapon waiting in Demacia Zac: living weapon created in Zaun Sad Shurima doesn't have any living weapon The Darkins: we're just toys
Do you think Briar will be introduced in Arcane Season 2 and end up helping Jinx even on a psychological level? I mean at this point Jinx is on her own. She has no one in her corner and she abandoned her past which includes Vi of course. Vi has CAitlyn,Ekko and even Jayce. Jayce has Caitlyn,Mel,Victor and now Vi. So on. Now that Jinx has left her past behind her she will be able to focus more however she is still shattered and will be self destructive. She won't care if she dies. So to have Ziggs or Briar ener her life and steer her away from insanity would be a relief.
I know the Vladimir voice line is mostly for fun, but... If we take that route of "dad" (even indirectly), it would make it that Briar is now somewhat family related to Gwen (Vlad is Viego's uncle, and Gwen is sort of Viego's child (More like Isolde's child, but if we say Briar is Vlad's kid, we can say Gwen is Viego's kid xDDD))
@@xman011101 Leblanc and Vlad did work together. Vlad gave blood magic and his own blood to Black rose, and one of the product was Sion. The question will be "is Brian the same?", with that it made Vlad "technically" a dad.
After playing her, she feels like old league of legends design. All of it is very simple and straightforward, even if some of the descriptions are a bit verbose. Her character design is simple as well, with the pillory being the only really exaggerated part of her. The sharp points on it remind me of the original design of Evelynn, where spikes were ALL OVER her outfit as she was supposed to give off a dominatrix vibe that tied in with her hate-spikes and old ultimate which made even more spikes. There's nothing really super flashy about her, she's not complicated to play, and offers several interesting build paths that are all viable. Briar's the first champion in several years that could have fit in with the game's original launch cast and it would just feel normal.
Vlad's greatest power is having connections to some of the most important parts of the lore while having almost zero meaningful interactions with the lore
They wanted a blood thirsty weapon of war so they made a little girl... Imagine if we actually got something like Meier Link from Vampire Hunter D, or Dettlaff from the Witcher. Not that it was likely, Riot does not make cool male champion anymore, just quirky girls and various prideful dudes with strange accents. Theres no room for any classic badass male character apparently. Feels like most of the champion design team started their careers on tumblr tbh. I hope they're teasing another vampire-like character, a male one whos just a classic vampire. No gimmicks like "black vampire with orange blood" or "vampire but is an animal". Just a pale dude with white hair who does some fked up gore stuff, think Silent Hill mixed with Roose Bolton.
Demacia has Sylas while Noxus has Briar both giving their respective kingdoms a hard time for throwing them into the pit after their services were no longer needed.
Noxus has Rell and Anne too. Can probably include Kayne and Taliyah too but they're busy with other things. I just mentioned them because of their history with Noxus as being used as child soldiers. I think Riven counts as well...? She now protects Ionia so I can see her going against Noxus too.... Eh, everybody hates Noxus anyway.
So, I was thinking about "escape buddy". It is made to look like a goofy mistake on Briar's part. "Ha, she took a Janitor for an escapee, she ain't the smartest". I want to argue with that. I think he was escaping. Briar confirms herself that she hears other cellmates. Would she just assume first person she meets is escaping? Its more likely she knew he was one of the people she heard. Whats more is the fact, he was 'strolling' right outside of the cells. I highly doubt Swain's guards allows just normal janitors without training to go there, since, as we see just a bit of blood can send Briar into frenzy. Of course someone must be cleaning around, but its probably either one of guards or trainded staff, not a random nobody. Even if somehow this was the getup of that trained staff - Briar must have seen them already and knew that it was just a janitor. There was no reason for her to think he is another escapee if he seen him or other staff before. He either saw Briar attack the guard and wanted to use her as distraction for his escape OR was there as secret agent to make sure Briar escapes. One more thing that got my attention is ominous whistling at the beginning of the launcher interactions. We all probably assumed its either the guard or one of the prisoners. However. Once Briar escapes andis outside - we hear it again. It cant be the guard, as she killed him. It can't be one of the prisoners, since they are still in thier cells - not outside. Who was whistling?
So she is like a naive kid just wanna make friends. I just hope her appetite doesn't get in the way of her connecting to others. I don't wanna see her eat someone she cares about.
Fact that I thought is importamt to mention In some clients (Latam, LAS in my case), many times during the second and third phases, a lot of subtitles popped up, with no corresponding voice whatsoever. One of them was sion (THIS WAS AUDIBLE) loudly groaning, to which the subtitles responded something along the lines of "I know sion we're both hungry you don't have to complain that much" so it's basically guaranteed that sion was also in there
Someone had asked on reddit what champs would be interesting to see who she might interact with, my response was this. Briar & Ivern meeting would be pretty interesting. I'm not even sure he would see her as human, and he is crazy enough himself that they could have a cute chat or chatS. Another plus is that he is basically immortal, so even if she did attack him, he wouldn't really mind.
If what happens in awaken hasn't happened yet in the current lore, it would make sense for sion to be trapped there, he would then be shipped out to ionia in the new noxian invasion right? then after that we have SoL?

Who were the people that were experimented by the Black Rose?
She could've went to Demacia after escaping which would explain her splash art and could change the balances in Demacia's current state with Sylas.
if she's following escape-buddy and he was from there i could see that since there are both demacians and noxian soldiers on her splah art background (maybe black rose or swain agents tailing her?)

She looks like she can shred the guitar and shred her victims at the same time. I love it
lmao this was my exact thought as well

Who came here after hearing theory about Isha (Arcane S2) being Briar in the future ?

Lol I've been typing BRIAR LORE since your video yesterday. Thanks MAN!!!
They really made a 40k Eversor assassin into a league character. Should be interesting
Oh, nice catch, my friend! :)
I'm guessing Swain knows about Sion due to the Ionian invasion back in the awaken cinematic, if that is considered canon.

Wait. So did she pull the guard THROUGH the bars with her teeth, or did she somehow absorb them? Because the former is probably the most terrifying fate i can imagine.
I thought she tore off the guard's arm but when we didn't hear a scream instead saw her eating it's safe to assume she pulled him through and ate him.
We all STILL love lore

The fact that riot still has writers but only release the bare minimum of Lore really makes me hope they are working on the mmo.
Do you think Briar will be introduced in Arcane Season 2 and end up helping Jinx even on a psychological level? I mean at this point Jinx is on her own. She has no one in her corner and she abandoned her past which includes Vi of course. Vi has CAitlyn,Ekko and even Jayce. Jayce has Caitlyn,Mel,Victor and now Vi. So on.

Haven't watched your videos in a while cuz of "the algorithm", like the new format.
briar is the type of person that sees wilbur soots jokes and ask "is anyone gonna eat that?" and not wait for an answer

The simplest solution to this is that it's an unprecedented event, unrelated to the past, rather taking place after the trailer.
I know the Vladimir voice line is mostly for fun, but...
If we take that route of "dad" (even indirectly), it would make it that Briar is now somewhat family related to Gwen (Vlad is Viego's uncle, and Gwen is sort of Viego's child (More like Isolde's child, but if we say Briar is Vlad's kid, we can say Gwen is Viego's kid xDDD))
Pls explain the dad line, I’m new to the lore but was it vlads blood used to create her?? I’m so confused but can’t find anything on it
@@xman011101you didnt overlook anything. What necrit read is all of her lore. We don't know vlads and briars relation to an extend.
@@KenseiShiro ah fair, I was asking more about vlads lore, like does he have any ties to the black rose as far as we know
@@xman011101 Leblanc and Vlad did work together. Vlad gave blood magic and his own blood to Black rose, and one of the product was Sion. The question will be "is Brian the same?", with that it made Vlad "technically" a dad.
After playing her, she feels like old league of legends design. All of it is very simple and straightforward, even if some of the descriptions are a bit verbose. Her character design is simple as well, with the pillory being the only really exaggerated part of her. The sharp points on it remind me of the original design of Evelynn, where spikes were ALL OVER her outfit as she was supposed to give off a dominatrix vibe that tied in with her hate-spikes and old ultimate which made even more spikes.
There's nothing really super flashy about her, she's not complicated to play, and offers several interesting build paths that are all viable.
Briar's the first champion in several years that could have fit in with the game's original launch cast and it would just feel normal.
Hmm Sion being imprisoned by Swain ... kinda leads to Swain using him in the second Invasion of Ionia as shown in the Awaken cinematic ...
It's mentioned that Swain keeps Sion to be used on rebelling Noxian forces in a previous story
Thank you Necrit ❤❤❤❤
"So do you want me to call you Vlad or Dad?" that is so precious
Such a sick champion
Vlad's greatest power is having connections to some of the most important parts of the lore while having almost zero meaningful interactions with the lore
They wanted a blood thirsty weapon of war so they made a little girl...
Imagine if we actually got something like Meier Link from Vampire Hunter D, or Dettlaff from the Witcher. Not that it was likely, Riot does not make cool male champion anymore, just quirky girls and various prideful dudes with strange accents. Theres no room for any classic badass male character apparently. Feels like most of the champion design team started their careers on tumblr tbh.
I hope they're teasing another vampire-like character, a male one whos just a classic vampire. No gimmicks like "black vampire with orange blood" or "vampire but is an animal". Just a pale dude with white hair who does some fked up gore stuff, think Silent Hill mixed with Roose Bolton.
Demacia has Sylas while Noxus has Briar both giving their respective kingdoms a hard time for throwing them into the pit after their services were no longer needed.
Noxus has Rell and Anne too. Can probably include Kayne and Taliyah too but they're busy with other things. I just mentioned them because of their history with Noxus as being used as child soldiers.
I think Riven counts as well...? She now protects Ionia so I can see her going against Noxus too....
Eh, everybody hates Noxus anyway.
So, I was thinking about "escape buddy". It is made to look like a goofy mistake on Briar's part. "Ha, she took a Janitor for an escapee, she ain't the smartest". I want to argue with that. I think he was escaping. Briar confirms herself that she hears other cellmates. Would she just assume first person she meets is escaping? Its more likely she knew he was one of the people she heard.
Whats more is the fact, he was 'strolling' right outside of the cells. I highly doubt Swain's guards allows just normal janitors without training to go there, since, as we see just a bit of blood can send Briar into frenzy. Of course someone must be cleaning around, but its probably either one of guards or trainded staff, not a random nobody. Even if somehow this was the getup of that trained staff - Briar must have seen them already and knew that it was just a janitor. There was no reason for her to think he is another escapee if he seen him or other staff before. He either saw Briar attack the guard and wanted to use her as distraction for his escape OR was there as secret agent to make sure Briar escapes.
One more thing that got my attention is ominous whistling at the beginning of the launcher interactions. We all probably assumed its either the guard or one of the prisoners. However. Once Briar escapes andis outside - we hear it again. It cant be the guard, as she killed him. It can't be one of the prisoners, since they are still in thier cells - not outside. Who was whistling?
as a french, i love how necrit says "coupe" when he tries to say "coup" xD (the "p" in coup is silent)
So she is like a naive kid just wanna make friends. I just hope her appetite doesn't get in the way of her connecting to others. I don't wanna see her eat someone she cares about.
btw briar's spashart is of her guarding vladimirs castle according to the description the dev blog gave us
Fact that I thought is importamt to mention
In some clients (Latam, LAS in my case), many times during the second and third phases, a lot of subtitles popped up, with no corresponding voice whatsoever.
One of them was sion (THIS WAS AUDIBLE) loudly groaning, to which the subtitles responded something along the lines of "I know sion we're both hungry you don't have to complain that much" so it's basically guaranteed that sion was also in there
Necrit is thirsty for more lore. As we all are.
Someone had asked on reddit what champs would be interesting to see who she might interact with, my response was this.
Briar & Ivern meeting would be pretty interesting. I'm not even sure he would see her as human, and he is crazy enough himself that they could have a cute chat or chatS.
Another plus is that he is basically immortal, so even if she did attack him, he wouldn't really mind.
i think she would be confused since stabing people doesnt normally produce sap
yeah and as a tree i dont think he bleeds so she wouldnt get blood from him to go into a frenzy
@@saphcal i mean, amber it just clotted tree sap ("blood"). you think that counts?
@@JDReC100 no i dont think it counts
No worries, they promised new Lore with the Teemo ASU late 2024
Runeterra's Nimona
P.S: Now that I am thinking of the other blood creatuers, some of them could be their followers for when LoR birngs Biar there.
Briar is Vlad's crazy goblin child that's hilarious
I want more Lissandra and void lore
voice line means talon is briars friend 😂 this is really funny the serious order following Assassin paired with a jinx like vampire 😂
9:30 now, i wonder if she says that because she was made from his blood/hemomancy, or if she has a crush on him
This reminds me of Nezuko from Demon Slayer lol
Her eyes being modeled after cataract infected eyes makes her one unique design choices in the game.
8:00 in the client in phase 2 and 3 of briars event sion talks with briar
i thought she was saying her neighbors was the voices in her head, getting louder as she loosened the shackle thing
it feels like ionia is just the go to battlefield in the lol lore
I can feel his coming he's going to be free again.
Artist's note from the thumbnail artist mentions that she is guarding Vladimir's mansion
Finally Thank you very much.
If what happens in awaken hasn't happened yet in the current lore, it would make sense for sion to be trapped there, he would then be shipped out to ionia in the new noxian invasion right? then after that we have SoL?
she reminds me of -shelter blood fallen- from overlord
Wow I just watched your first video on Briar😂
so now we got full black rose squad in every lane, leblanc mid, briar jungle, riven top, samira dlane and rell supp
Cant wait to see her interact with other champions in the lore. Though I wounder who would be a good fit for Jinx and Hyde.
Who is Hyde ???
Hyde?
briar without pillary: HUNGRY
briar with pillary: haiiii fwiend :3
