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, apply Serrated Knives from beside cover, and keep Slice and Dice for a route that lets you return to your partner. Reach cover before Bloodletting’s delayed damage leaves you low.

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, throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Ivy when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.

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. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Ivy when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
