Fighting together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Together, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Conversely, by grouping Neeko and Briar together, you probably will not be giving your team a great deal of engage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Briar ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
