Early Game

• Start by marking jungle camps with your passive - prioritize Red/Blue buff, Gromp, and Raptors
• Level 1-3 route: Mark camps to efficiently clear early while looking for gank opportunities
• Focus on getting vision control and supporting lanes rather than dueling
• When ganking, lead with Q to set up CC and let allies dash to target

Mid Game

• Share blue buffs with mid laner when possible
• Look to group for objectives and teamfights where your shields shine
• Place brushes strategically to gain vision control and enhance team mobility
• Stay back in fights to protect carries with E and redirect aggro with R

Late Game

• Position safely to maximize shield value on key targets
• Use Daisy (R) to zone enemies and protect backline
• Place brushes for pick potential and vision denial
• Focus on peeling and enabling carries rather than engaging

Key Tips:

• Mark jungle camps efficiently between ganks to maximize clear speed
• Time ganks around E cooldown for maximum impact
• Coordinate Daisy control with team engages
• Position brushes to create pick opportunities
• Shield priority: Carries > Frontline > Self

Best Matchups:

• Strong with dive champions who can follow Q
• Excels with melee carries who benefit from shields
• Good against teams that lack backline access

Weak Against:

• Heavy invade junglers like Lee Sin, Graves
• Teams with strong disengage
• Comps that can burst through shields quickly

The key to success on Ivern is maximizing efficiency with passive jungle clear while providing consistent utility to the team through shields, CC and vision control. Focus on enabling carries rather than carrying yourself.
