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 Qiyana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Check her weapon's element
Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.
- Back off when she changes element
Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.
- Stay away from walls and the river
Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
