This clearly indicates that there is a potentially meaningful bond between Darius and Briar that results in them performing stronger together than alone.

Briar has a greater difficulty than Darius. That means Darius players need to be cautious when arranging Briar teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
