If the trade with Ivy turns dangerous and your lane partner is taking return damage, Cube them. Punch Ivy — or whichever of the pair is exposed through Kudzu Connection — to break up the fight, and hold your burst damage rather than wasting it into Stone Form.
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. Use Puddle Punch or Goo Ball to separate Ivy from the teammate she is threatening, choosing a route that does not carry you into the enemy team.
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. Use Puddle Punch or Goo Ball to separate Ivy from the teammate she is threatening, choosing a route that does not carry you into the enemy team.
