Why this duo works

Ornn's slow, knockups, and Brittle set up a reliable engage for Briar to follow. When Ornn has marked a target Brittle, Briar's Head Rush(Q) consumes it for extra damage and a longer stun, giving the duo a clear crowd-control chain.

Playing the duo

Bellows Breath(W) and Call of the Forge God(R) apply Brittle; Briar's Head Rush(Q) stun consumes Brittle, adding max-health magic damage and extending the immobilize.

Ornn's Call of the Forge God(R) slows on its first pass and knocks up on the recast, giving Briar a predictable opening for Certain Death(R) or Head Rush(Q).

How to play as Ornn

Start the engage with Call of the Forge God(R) and apply Brittle just before Briar's Q follow-up; her stun consumes the mark, adding damage and keeping the target immobilized longer.

How to play as Briar

When Ornn applies Brittle with Bellows Breath(W) or the first pass of Call of the Forge God(R), follow with Head Rush(Q) to consume it for added damage and a longer stun; then continue on that target.
