How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his root

His root is the main ability to look out for — sidestep it, since it's his only real way to lock you down.

Kill Ivern first

Blow up Ivern over the carry — on his own he's weak, and killing him drops the shields keeping his team alive.

Serpent's Fang

His shield ability is annoying, so Serpent's Fang might not be the worst option to cut through it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never sit in his root — it's the one tool that lets a solo Ivern actually punish you.
