Ivern cannot attack or be attacked by non-epic monsters. Ivern can create magical groves on jungle camps which grow over time. When the grove is fully grown, Ivern may free the monsters to receive gold and experience.

Playing as Shaco

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Gank from behind

    Gank with Deceive (Q) and come in behind your target: Backstab (passive) empowers hits from behind, and your first invisible auto becomes a critical strike.

  2. Finish with Two-Shiv Poison

    Save Two-Shiv Poison (E) to finish: the shiv deals much more damage to a target below 30% health.

  3. Trick them with your clone

    Cast Hallucinate (R) to bait their spells: you briefly disappear and reappear with a clone, which explodes on death into three boxes that fear.

  4. Trap their escape routes

    Place Jack In The Box (W) on their escape routes or at a camp entrance: invisible after a delay, it fears champions who come near, then shoots them.

Playing against Ivern

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep your minions between you and Ivern: Rootcaller (Q) roots the first enemy hit, and his allies can then dash to you.

  2. Avoid his brush

    Don't fight in or near the brush from Brushmaker (W): Ivern and his nearby allies gain bonus magic damage on their autos there.

  3. Don't take three hits from Daisy

    Focus Daisy! (R) or leave her range before her 3rd consecutive auto on you: it triggers a shockwave that knocks everyone it hits into the air.

  4. Take his camps

    Take his camps while his groves grow: Friend of the Forest (passive) stops him from attacking non-epic monsters, so he has to wait for a grove to grow before he can free them.
