Ivern Jungle Guide | Patch 26.16

How to play Ivern?

Ivern thrives as a supportive jungler, excelling in early game with his passive, Rootcaller, which grants vision and sustain. Start with a strong leash at your buff camps, then focus on securing early objectives like the Scuttle Crab or Rift Herald. Your early game revolves around enabling your laners by gifting them plants or securing vision in key areas. Mid-game, prioritize controlling objectives like the Dragon or Baron while maintaining vision control with your passive. Late-game, Ivern’s strength lies in his ability to peel for carries or lock down enemies with his ultimate, Nature’s Grasp. Positioning is key—stay behind your team to maximize your utility without becoming a target.

💡 Tips for Ivern

• 1.Use your passive, Rootcaller, to heal yourself or your laners by walking over plants—prioritize placing them in high-traffic areas.
• 2.Start with a leash at your buff camps, then immediately secure the Scuttle Crab for early gold and vision.
• 3.Gift your plants to laners to provide extra sustain and vision, especially in the top lane where they can be used defensively.
• 4.Focus on securing early objectives like the Rift Herald or Dragon, as Ivern’s utility shines in enabling these plays.
• 5.In teamfights, use your ultimate, Nature’s Grasp, to peel for your carries or lock down enemies—save it for key moments rather than using it reactively.
• 6.Avoid invading enemy jungle without vision control—your strength lies in passive sustain and utility, not direct combat.
• 7.Coordinate with your laners to maximize the impact of your plants, especially in the top lane where they can create early pressure.
• 8.Prioritize upgrading your jungle item to the appropriate tier (e.g., to Enchantment: Cinderhulk) to maximize your sustain and tankiness.
• 9.Use your passive to scout enemy movements by placing plants in river or jungle entrances—this can help you avoid invades or set up counter-ganks.
• 10.In the late game, focus on maintaining vision control and enabling your team’s engages rather than looking for solo plays.
