How to play as Briar
When Darius starts with E, use W to sidestep the pull; if he follows with Q, use Q through him to avoid the outer blade.
Don't force an early solo duel if Darius can keep stacking his passive; use E to disengage and wait for a teammate before committing again.
Briar can use Q or W to reposition around Darius Q's outer blade; avoiding that blade denies its bonus damage and the heal it gives Darius.
