Items Back to Top
Starting Items
Core Items
-
these these 2 items are the first items you buy almost every game. The order depends on the match up, if you play against 2 or more AP champs ( or just 1 rly heavy burst midlaner like syndra and bard support its fine aswell) you purchase Athenes first ( always start with the cdr/AP part of Athenes) If thats not the case you go for Redemption (aswell start with the cdr part) These are your most important items because after you finished these and your boots you will be at 45% cdr which is really important. This 2 items also synergies very well with Ivern's kit
-
If you have 5 or more stacks of dark seal then buy this, if you are about to cap on dark seal stacks you can also buy this earlier. If you reach the late game (40+ min) and it happens that you die and have like 5 stacks left you can sell it for a different item because it wont get that value anymore like in the early/mid game
Situational Items
-
sometimes you can even buy this as an last item, if you simply need more shields for you carry. Its not that common to do this but its fine. You need so switch you boots when buying this item -mercs if they have alot CC/magic damage -Ninja Tabis if they have alot of aa champs/ad damage -Boots of Swiftness if you need to kite -Otherwise just go boots of mobility

VS

Graves
Hard
Graves is able to kill you very easily if you get near to you/ hits both instances of his Q.
It is generally good to counterjungle him if you know where he is so you do not face him in a 1v1. Graves is item reliant so if you take his jungle it will be harder for him to have impact in the game. Be careful of his counterganks. You are able to win 2v2 depending on the top/mid match up.
Against Graves i almost always take my runepage with extra armor.
VS

Kha'Zix
Hard
Kha is able to kill 1v1 at any stage of the game ( ofc if you are rly ahead/he is rly behind it is possible but usually not), so stay out of his jungle if you are alone, only if you see him somewhere you can go into his jungle to ward.
He also has an jump which makes him even more dangerous to you, since he is able to reach you with that pretty easy.
Against Kha i almost always take my runepage with extra armor.
VS

Lee Sin
Hard
Lee sin is really strong in 1v1 and 2v2 in the earlygame and his gapclosers (Q/W) are on a pretty low cooldown so he is abler to keep up with you. The only chance on winning 2v2 is if he does not hit the Q on you.
I would reccomend to not counterjungle him.
In the late game shield the one he is trying to burst/insec.
Against Lee i almost always take my runepage with extra armor.
VS

Rengar
Hard
Rengar is able to kill you at any stage of the game, you never stand a chance against him ( ofc if you are rly ahead/he is rly behind it is possible but usually not), so stay out of his jungle if you are alone, only if you see him somewhere you can go into his jungle to ward. Try to not gank the lane he is around and be careful with the your bush placements since he can use them to jump.
If he uses his ultimate stay behind your team so you don't get hit by the crit, because it is pretty hard to survive then. Shield the one he is attacking but do not go into meele range.
Against Rengar i almost always take my runepage with extra armor.
Why would you play this weird tree guy? Back to Top
Ivern is a very supportive jungler with a very good jungle clear.
Your damage is not that high but indirect it is, because your carrys won't die so they will deal more damage overall.
Your ult is basically like a second tank, the damage is not that high but Daisy is really annoying with her knock up on her 3rd hit, so they can not ignore her.
Ivern is a team-champ you are able to carry on your own but only in the early/mid game and only if you are pretty fed, most of the time you will be annoying the enemy carrys or protection your own.
Ivern has very good synergy with damage orientated bruiser or full damage melee champions because you can make them really tanky with your low cd shield.
Jungle Route Back to Top
There are 2 ways to clear as Ivern one is the cheesy clear and the other is just a save and very very fast clear (min 3,20 /lvl 4 1/2)
First of all the normal clear:
You mark (with mark i always mean using your passive obviously) Blue then Wolves, go back to blue smite it to get HP and Mana back then mark Gromp and your whole other jungle (Razorbeaks,Red and Krugs) when you finished that you walk back to the other half of you jungle and start collection the camps starting by gromp ( dont take wolves even tho they are on the way and ready). You want to use your Q on cooldown from camp to camp to move through the jungle faster. If you are finished with collecting all of the camp you should be lvl 4 1/2 and it is around minute 3,20 in the game. You are almost full HP and got a smite charge ready now you can do what ever you please, counter jungle, gank, take the scuttle etc. When you do this clear you have a lot of time until you have to base/start farming again because of the high re spawn time of the camps, so it totally fine to spend 20-30 seconds waiting besides a lane to counter gank/gank.
After this you continue just as above you walk to your Krugs mark them, take you buff, mark your Razorbeaks etc. and then walk back and take them.



How to play Ivern Back to Top
Your goal in the early game is to get your laners ahead since you cant really power farm and since your items are not very expensive you don't need to farm a s much as you might think you need to.
Ivern's big strength after reaching level 6 is fighting 2v2/3v3 your ult is basically like a 4th champion, you can also look for diving people early for example when to enemy toplaner is at 1/3 HP and your toplaner is not too low you can dive him pretty easy with your ultimate.
Over all you are a melee champion but you don't want to use your melee attacks that often, if you fight you want to always have your W passive up by creating an own bush or just using one next to you.


Your ganks are pretty solid, you lack a bit of damage but instead you have a really strong slow and a snare. You have the best ganking synergy with champions that have some CC but still damage for example









A really important mechanic is if you shield someone the damage from the shield will be counted as theirs ( like Leona passive or Nami E) so if you shield lasthits minions/champions while being on an ally the ally will get all the farm/kills. This is something many people do not know. And because of this your damage to champions ( if you look it up in the endscreen) will usually not be that high only if you shield yourself/your ultimate more often. I just wanted to explain this so you know about it and dont wonder why your damage was so low even tho it felt like you dealt way more.

When to use Daisy

How to use Daisy
Try to not let her die because she lasts 60s which is very long and her cool down is starting the moment you cast her, so if you are level 16+ and she fades you only have to wait 6s to re summon her!
How to dodge stuff with Daisy Back to Top
Why does it work?



How does it work?
It is actually pretty simple to pull of, if you see any kind of skillshot flying into your direction you just need to call for
This obviously only works if the skillshot can be stopped by hitting an minion for example







About me Back to Top
So i started playing playing at the end of Season 2 but didn't really play much until the middle of Season 3.
My first main position was Top but after some time i found my place in the jungle, where i still am.
I used to be a Rengar main but because of his rework i stopped playing and he is no fun to me anymore.
When Ivern came out i really wanted to play this champ more but i was kinda bad so i just sticked to Rengar. Now that he pre-season came and everything changed i played more and more Ivern until i was pretty good, i am still improving with him and i am still not as good as i want to be but maybe someday i will. I wrote this guide because i noticed that there are almost no Ivern guides which promote a similar playstyle as mine and not a single one is using the same itembuild.
Right now i'm Platinum 4 in Solo Q and Diamond 5 in flex.
