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 Warwick

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay above 50% health

    Keep your health above 50%: below that, Blood Hunt (W) gives him speed toward you and attack speed, three times more below 25%.

  2. Finish him fast below 50% health

    When he drops below 50% health, finish him fast, with CC if you have any: Eternal Hunger (passive) then heals him with each auto, three times more below 25%.

  3. Don't count on a dash to escape

    If you have a dash, don't count on it to escape his held bite: Jaws of the Beast (Q) makes him follow all your movement, then leap behind you.

  4. Stay behind your tanky allies

    In teamfights, stay behind your tankiest allies: Infinite Duress (R) suppresses the first champion hit, and its range grows with his move speed.

  5. Cut his healing

    If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to him: his autos heal him at low health, and Infinite Duress (R) heals him for all the damage it deals.
