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 Talon

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his blades on the return

    Get out of the path of Rake (W), especially on the return: the returning blades slow you, and each spell that hits brings you closer to Blade's End (passive).

  2. Push to keep him in lane

    Push your wave whenever you can: he then has to stay and farm instead of roaming by vaulting walls with Assassin's Path (E).

  3. Engage when his ult is on cooldown

    If you can engage, go for him while Shadow Assault (R) is on cooldown: it's his main way out of a fight, and it comes back in 100 to 60 seconds.

  4. Ping as soon as he disappears

    Ping your team as soon as he leaves your vision, and ward the paths behind walls: Assassin's Path (E) lets him vault walls to roam through the jungle.
