Abilities & tips
Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.
PFriend of the Forest
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.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
QRootcaller
Ivern conjures a vine, dealing damage and rooting enemy targets hit. Ivern's allies can dash to the rooted target.
Use this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.
WBrushmaker
In brush, Ivern and his nearby allies attacks deal bonus magic damage. Ivern can activate this ability to create a patch of brush.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
ETriggerseed
Ivern places a shield on an ally which explodes after a short duration slowing and damaging enemies. The shield refreshes if it hits no enemies.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.

Ivern combos: execution and timing
AA = basic attack · EAA = empowered attack · 1/2/3 = cast stage. Follow the order, not instant key presses.
Follow up with Triggerseed
- E
- Q
- AA
With Ivern, start with Triggerseed, then continue through Rootcaller → Basic attack. Time Triggerseed around the damage you expect, rather than using it simply because its key appears in the sequence.
Follow up with Brushmaker
- W
- AA
- Q
- AA
With Ivern, start with Brushmaker, then continue through Basic attack → Rootcaller → Basic attack. Choose a position that lets Brushmaker work without losing your retreat. Check the next target’s range before following the sequence.

Game plan by role
Ivern · Jungle
Practise a repeatable clear before adding risky invades. Check nearby lane positions before entering the river or committing to a gank.
Prepare objectives by resetting, checking vision and moving with nearby allies. Avoid starting an objective solely because it has spawned.
Keep Smite and your escape plan in mind around contested objectives. Choose between engaging, covering a carry and keeping access to the objective.
Before your next fight, check: Rootcaller · Daisy! · Combos
06
Matchup preparation
Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.
07
Practice checklist
- Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
- Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
- After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
