V6.20 Added
  • Friend of the Forest – Innate Ivern cannot attack or damage non-epic monsters. Instead, targeting a jungle camp initiates a 2.5-second channel that, upon completion, places the monsters within a grove. Placing a grove costs Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)health and Champions hit by Piltover Peacemakers (Q) at greater than 75% of max rangemana, and cannot be cast if Ivern lacks the resources. The grove matures over 40 − 6 (based on level) seconds. When fully matured, Ivern can interact with the camp again to instantly free the monsters, sending them away while receiving their full Damage mitigated with Riposte (W)gold and Champions killed with Trueshot Barrage (R)experience bounty. Smiting a camp within a grove will instantly free the monsters, regardless of its maturity or the monster's current health. If the camp's large monster has already been slain, Ivern will free the camp upon completing the channel at no cost. Similarly, the grove will instantly mature if the large monster is slain. Starting at level 5, freeing the Red Brambleback or Blue Sentinel leaves behind a sapling that can be picked up by an allied champion to gain the camp's buff, consuming it in the process. If at least one allied champion is nearby, Ivern can pick up the sapling to transfer it to the nearest one in range. If an ally kills either monster, they also leave behind a sapling that only Ivern can consume.
  • Rootcaller – Q spell Ivern throws a vine in the target direction, dealing 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 (+ 70% AP) magic damage to the first enemy hit and rooting them for 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2 seconds. Ivern and his allies can target enemies rooted by Rootcaller to dash to them, placing themselves at their attack range from the target. Cost: 60 mana Cooldown: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12
  • Brushmaker – W spell Passive: While in brush, Ivern's basic attacks gain bonus range and deal bonus magic damage. These bonuses persist for 3 seconds after leaving brush. Active: Ivern grows a patch of brush at the target location, revealing the area within and around it for 3 seconds. Brushmaker spawns more brush if used near terrain or more brush. Brushmaker uses a stock system and Ivern can keep X in reserve. Cost: 30 mana Recharge: 40 / 36 / 32 / 28 / 24 seconds Cooldown: 0.5 seconds
  • Triggerseed – E spell Ivern gifts a seed to the target allied champion, himself or Daisy, shielding them for 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 80% AP) for 2 seconds. After the 2 seconds, Triggerseed bursts, dealing 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+ 70% AP) magic damage to all nearby enemies and slowing them by 70% for 3 seconds. Cost: 50 mana Cooldown: 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8
  • Daisy! – R spell Ivern summons his sentinel friend Daisy, who remains on the field for 60 seconds as a controllable minion. While Daisy is active, Daisy! can be used to move her to the target location. Cost: 100 mana Cooldown: 160 / 140 / 120

Recommended build

What players actually run on Ivern on the current patch: summoner spells, skill priority, starting, core and late items, runes and skill order.

Every entry comes with its pick rate (how often it is chosen) and, where available, its win rate. For runes, Most Played is the page the majority takes and Best WR the variant that wins most among those with enough games: when they differ, the second is usually the sharper choice, the first the safer one.

Win rate by elo

Ivern's win rate in each rank tier, from Iron to Challenger, plus all tiers combined.

A champion that climbs with rank is usually one that rewards mechanics or game knowledge; one that peaks in low elo is often easy to pick up and punished by better players. Read the tier you play in, not the average. Tiers with no data for this patch are hidden.

Counters and matchups

A preview of the counters page: the five opponents Ivern struggles against the most, and the five it beats most often, on the current patch.

Percentages are Ivern's own win rate in each duel, with the gap to its overall win rate. The full lists, with every matchup that has enough games, are on the counters page linked below each table.

Patch history

Balance changes that touched Ivern, patch by patch, most recent first, as published in the official patch notes.

The ten latest patches are shown, the older ones fold out. Use it to read the win rate movements above: a jump right after a patch is usually a buff or a nerf, not a change in how people play the champion.
