Ivy

Weapon enabler

Choose a coherent path

The reviewed default is weapon enabler. An alternative is thorns and support caster. These are tactical interpretations of the kit, not official roles or measured win-rate rankings.

Connection changes the value of healing and team buffs. A carried ally has action and damage restrictions; Air Drop is not free unrestricted teammate gunfire.

Ability slots

  1. 1Entangling Thorns
  2. 2Kudzu Connection
  3. 3Stone Form
  4. 4Air Drop

Ability targets

The default target for eligible single-target imbues is ability 1, Entangling Thorns. Item eligibility still takes precedence: Echo Shard cannot reset an ultimate, charge items apply automatically, and global upgrades affect all eligible abilities.

Item direction

Use these as candidates for the stated path. The planner chooses compatible upgrades, accounts for owned components and reserves room for the lineup response.

Playing against Ivy

Respect Stone Form and coordinated allies; assess whether her actual damage comes from gun or thorns.

A partial enemy lineup cannot establish lane assignments, enemy purchases or who is ahead. Supply those details in the planner where supported, and reconsider the plan as the match changes.
