Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Avoid Entangling Thorns and stop attacking Ivy while Stone Form makes her impervious. Stay clear of her landing, then resume when she can take damage again. Once Ivy is targetable and you are clear of her landing, keep Disengaging Sigil for the way back after Flawless Advance brings you close. Use Riposte against an incoming hero attack; trooper fire will not trigger it.

Mid game · Walkers

Pressure Ivy’s linked ally when you can reach them safely, and use terrain or displacement to separate the pair. Break Kudzu Connection’s line of sight. Stone Form protects Ivy, leaving her partner exposed. If Ivy is exposed outside Stone Form, reach Ivy with Flawless Advance, keeping Disengaging Sigil for the way back to your team.

Late game · Patron

Watch both Ivy and the ally she carries with Air Drop. Attack an exposed enemy after the landing, while holding damage against Ivy during Stone Form and keeping clear of its landing stun. Reach Ivy with Flawless Advance, keeping Disengaging Sigil for the way back to your team.
