Briar Notch

Briar Notch turns incoming damage into retaliation. When enemies strike you, a portion of that physical damage is immediately reflected back at them, punishing reckless attackers.

OVERVIEW:
Briar Notch reflects 2–10% of physical damage taken back to attackers. Reflected damage is capped at 5% of your maximum HP per hit and has a rapid 0.05-second internal cooldown, allowing frequent but balanced thorn-style damage.

Rune Profile:
Briar Notch is a Nature-element defensive rune built around damage reflection. It scales exceptionally well with high maximum health, making it a staple rune for tank and bruiser builds.

Usage Strategy
Absorb hits and let enemies damage themselves. Briar Notch is strongest when surrounded by multiple melee attackers, especially in prolonged encounters where repeated hits trigger constant reflection.

Pro Tips
Because reflected damage is capped by max HP, stacking health significantly boosts its effectiveness. Pair Briar Notch with heavy armor and sustain runes to outlast enemies while they wear themselves down.
