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, throw Consecrating Grenade at the enemy when you can follow its reduced healing with pressure. Use Gutshot toward a nearby wall when that gives you a safe stun.

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 Consecrating Grenade at Ivy, then fire Ira Domini from beside cover when the firing line is clear. Blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies.

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 Consecrating Grenade at Ivy, then fire Ira Domini from beside cover when the firing line is clear. Blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies.
