Playing as Ivern
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- Seed the ally who engages
Cast Triggerseed (E) on the ally who engages: the shield explodes after a moment and slows enemies around them.
- 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 Wukong
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after his W
Trade after Warrior Trickster (W): it's his best escape, and it has a 22 to 18 second cooldown.
- Ignore the still clone
When Warrior Trickster (W) turns him invisible, ignore the figure standing still: that's the clone, and the real Wukong just dashed off to the side.
- Spread out from your allies
When he has Cyclone (R), spread out from your allies: he spins in the middle of your team and knocks every nearby enemy into the air, twice.
- Escape after his second Cyclone
If you have a way to escape, wait for his second Cyclone (R) to end: the spell can be recast once, and each spin knocks nearby enemies into the air again.
