How to play as Briar

If Zac starts charging Elastic Slingshot(E) to escape, wait for the windup and use Head Rush(Q) then; Briar players recommend saving Q so he cannot jump away.

Use your clear tempo for an early gank or invade, but avoid starting a teamfight into Zac; Briar mains recommend targeting valuable backliners with R or cleaning up after Zac engages because he is hard to burst while his team can help.

Head Rush(Q) can stun Zac while he is charging Elastic Slingshot(E), interrupting the launch.
