Playing as Ivern

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Gank while your groves grow

    Place your groves, then go gank while they grow: Friend of the Forest (passive) lets you free the camp without fighting it once the grove is fully grown.

  2. Ping after landing your Q

    After landing Rootcaller (Q), ping your team: allies who attack the rooted target dash into attack range, and you can dash to the target by recasting.

  3. Seed the ally who engages

    Cast Triggerseed (E) on the ally who engages: the shield explodes after a moment and slows enemies around them.

  4. Command Daisy

    Recast Daisy! (R) to give her a target: her 3rd consecutive auto on the same champion knocks every enemy hit into the air.

Playing against Jarvan IV

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step out of his flag's line

    As soon as he plants Demacian Standard (E), step out of the line between him and the flag: Dragon Strike (Q) pulls him to it and knocks anyone in his path into the air.

  2. Punish him after his combo

    Punish him after his flag-and-lance combo: without the flag, he has no dash to get out, and Demacian Standard (E) has a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. Save a way out of his arena

    If you have a way over walls, save it for Cataclysm (R): the arena can't be crossed on foot and locks you in with him while it lasts.
