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, charge Power Slash beside cover and release it when the enemy is exposed. Use Flying Slash on an enemy only when the arrival is safe, keeping stamina to get back out.

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, use Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Ivy. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.

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. Use Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Ivy. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.
