Ivy

Laning

T2 Camps Spawn at 5:00. Aim to get Tesla at 6:00. Capacitor is huge powerspike. Dont be afraid to buy HP

800Extended Magazine800 soulsGood because it helps alleviate Ivy's poor magazine size problem. Gives more long term damage output for wave at the start, which means its a good alternative/supplement to Monster Rounds.1.6kTitanic Magazine1.6k soulsGreatly increases your magazine, allowing effortless waveclear, and lets you trade (Not often) sometimes with the enemy in lane with your raw gun. This will make your Tesla Bullets buy WAY better.3.2kTesla Bullets3.2k soulsGun Ivy's BEST early/mid game item. Procs easily with ivy's high ROF, grants amazing jungle/camp clear, and allows easy proccage of debuffs. It is INSANE.6.4kCapacitor6.4k soulsThis item is better the earlier you buy it, B/C Capacitor requires FAR LESS ROF to consistently proc than Tesla Bullets. Its active is a great substitute for ivy losing knockup on ultimate.800Sprint Boots800 soulsAbsolutely one of the best T1 health items in the game. When first bought, gives HP with investment, allows far faster box farming, and better roaming with slight OoC Regeneration. All for § 800 !

Sustain/Greens

Don't Be afraid of buying Rite or Extra Health!

800Extra Health800 soulsINSANE item to buy if you want to postpone your 4.8k HP investment spike, to buy more items for farming and powerspikes, without being super squishy and burstable.800Healing Rite800 soulsThis item has INSANE value, even outside of lane. You will NEVER regret or feel bad buying this item, as it keeps you topped up for HP after camps, and gives sprint speed!800Extra Regen800 souls1.6kHealbane1.6k soulsIf planning to be hyper-active in the early game right after capacitor, this can be a good pickup against early healing characters.

Lane Extra

800Headshot Booster800 soulsBest § 800 item in lane for winning lane and applying pressure. If buying, I reccomend going Extnd. Mag -> Headshot Booster -> Tesla for you 4.8k Gun Spike build order.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame

Swift Striker Lines up with T3 tether powerspike, BRS is amazing for camps. High firerate after AR.

800Rapid Rounds800 soulsSlight damage increase. Powerspike more noticable when you buy swift striker.1.6kSwift Striker1.6k soulsBest § 1600 item for raw unconditional firerate, while giving bonus sprint speed that very useful in the early game. Helps immensely with giving the exact fire rate you need for capacitor w T3 Tether.1.6kActive Reload1.6k soulsGiven that your character has a short reload time (Ivy does), this item is great, as you will be allowed to easily proc it to gain very high value stats, such as lots of firerate, movespeed, lifesteal1.6kBullet Resist Shredder1.6k soulsEasy to apply with Tesla/Capacitor, and provides a great Bullet Resist Shred debuff while giving spirit investment, and good base stats.1.6kSlowing Bullets1.6k soulsItem is VERY good right now with its base weapon damage being better early, and valve constantly nerfing all movement, meaning this item is great for making enemes EVEN slower.

Mid Survival

Spirit resil is OP. Everything else is extremely situational.

3.2kSpirit Resilience3.2k soulsRequired every game for the current spirit meta, and works well with creating more EHP (Effective HP) with siphon bullets.3.2kDispel Magic3.2k soulsInsane counter to Infernus/Mirage on-hit buildups, and generally great for any enemy that is causing a debuff that is causing you to lose or die constantly.3.2kMetal Skin3.2k soulsInsanely Overpowered, but situational. Hard counters Haze/Vyper/Gun Warden, Gun Drifter, and ANY character that has ~X > 75% damage done by pure weapon damage bullets.3.2kBullet Resilience3.2k soulsBEFORE BUYING, Consider this: If the enemy is doing Weapon Damage by mainly bullets, get metalskin instead. Otherwise, if its from abilities, get this item or Escalating Resilience.

Mid Extra

3.2kBurst Fire3.2k soulsThis item has significant value in the late game when you have ~+200% wpn dmg and ~+50% firerate, and do not have souls to spend 6.4k on spellslinger to increase damage output and proc rates of items.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame

BUY as many optionals and a §6.4k debuff >>>

1.6kEnduring Speed1.6k soulsGreat for stacking your movespeed, after Fleetfoot lost its value with T3 Tether changes. Movespeed resist will come to be useful later in the game as well.6.4kSiphon Bullets6.4k soulsWhen bought at around 20-25k souls, this item will actually feel effective due to characters starting to be at the 2500-3000HP range. Optimally, you want enemies to be at 3k+HP for this item to SHINE.3.2kHeadhunter3.2k soulsCan be bought earlier to make use of raw trade damage it provides. Real value comes from large % heal that is impactful late game when you are 4000-5000HP.

General HP 6.4ks

Read Descs

6.4kHealing Tempo6.4k soulsOften has more value if you buy this when behind to support other m1s, though you can still retain a fair amount of value from this item due to its abundance of passive stats.6.4kColossus6.4k soulsCombined with Siphon bullets, and utilizing Ivy's above average health scaling, it gives great health value, and the dash slow on this item is INSANE. Great also if you have x < 15% of both resists.6.4kJuggernaut6.4k soulsBetter with the diminishing movespeed buffs, and direct juggernaut movespeed buffs. Still, this item is optimal if you are using it to counter other m1s.

Debuffs

Huge debuffs. Read their Descriptions.

6.4kInhibitor6.4k soulsVERY good debuff that counts as antiheal and a massive damage reduction. Easy to buildup with your current firerate, and when bought, gives ~350 HP and +10% wpn damage in raw stats (Very Good)6.4kSilencer6.4k soulsWhile inhibitor is great, this item INSTANTLY applies the damage debuff without needing a buildup. Great for spirit meta. Built-In Silence is also great for countering. Do note this gives no HP.6.4kCrippling Headshot6.4k soulsDeletes victor, and heavily cripples any character that has high resists with high healing/sustain. Long debuff duration and easy proc makes it SUPER useful for your team needing damage.

Late Extra

3.2kWeighted Shots3.2k soulsVery good upgrade that mainly serves to give you debuff resist that you may otherwise be lacking in the midgame. Damage is great too. Good because other sources of debuff resist are very expensive.

Late Survival

These Health items are good, But very situational. Only buy late.

1.6kHealing Booster1.6k soulsCan potentially be picked up right after midgame to fill slots and build towards healing tempo.6.4kSpellbreaker6.4k soulsGives all the late game stats you are lacking, and want more of. Provides a layer of protection against spirit nukers, and gives slightly more resistance to what you already have, with debuff resist.6.4kIndomitable6.4k soulsThis item is great against pick characters (Mo Krill, Holliday, Paradox, Bepop, etc.) But not reccomended until §40k+ souls. It doesnt get triggered by knockups/airbornes (except mirage FUCK YOU mirag6.4kPlated Armor6.4k soulsVERY SITUATIONAL. Very good counter against Haze and Infernus. If not enough against on-hit characters, combining this with Dispel Magic practically makes their on-hits completely irrelevant.6.4kUnstoppable6.4k soulsGreat when the team is only managing to kill you through CC/Stuns, or curses and countless debuffs of similar sort. Also gives survivability with massive debuff resistance and some HP.

Spirit

Not bought often. Read descriptions.

1.6kCompress Cooldown1.6k soulsWhen imbued on ult, and you are carrying people off cooldown, you can be perma rotating around mid-game skirmishes getting major map control and granting you a lead. Good if you have/know u have slots6.4kTranscendent Cooldown6.4k soulsTreat this as a § 50k+ Soul Luxury item to let you proc Headhunter, Siphon, and Capacitor faster, alongside giving ability cooldowns. Very high value late game, but useless if you are buying it early.

BRS Swaps

Replace BlltRsst Shredder Late

3.2kHunter's Aura3.2k soulsA very good replacement for Bullet Resist Shredder, when you are heavily slot locked, but have money to spend. Usually only do this at § 35k+ souls when you are missing slots from walkers.3.2kHollow Point3.2k soulsA very good replacement for Bullet Resist Shredder, when you are heavily slot locked, but have money to spend. Usually only do this at § 35k+ souls when you are missing slots from walkers.

TESTING | CAN BE GOOD | FULL IVY GUIDE BELOW - SCROLL DOWN

These items still can be great. Read their individual descripitions to see if they fit. Message @Highdocker on discord in dms if you have questions. Scroll down below to see a full guide on Ivy.

3.2kToxic Bullets3.2k soulsYou will have enough firerate to reproc it even when its debuff removed (At around T3 tether max). This makes it a good antiheal option for mid-late game, and really shines late with high HP pools.3.2kEscalating Resilience3.2k soulsThis is a good item to stack more bullet resist, but you are often better off with bullet resilience as replacing this for titanic should not be considered unless you are ultra late game.6.4kSpellslinger6.4k soulsSpellslinger has been indirectly HEAVILY nerfed from the gun ivy playstyle. Fleetfoot is significantly worse on her, and you cant pop tether anymore. This removes two sources of proccing spellslinger.6.4kArmor Piercing Rounds6.4k soulsThis should exclusively be used as a § 50k+ soul counter if the enemy has multiple plated armors, or a single high priority target has plated. If bought before 50k souls, it often has reduced value.1.6kDebuff Reducer1.6k soulsOnly buy if you need to stack significant DBR while being affordable. With Weighted shots and this, you have 40% DBR. Great against characters with ults like Holliday, Mo & Krill, given you have HP.1.6kMystic Slow1.6k soulsCan add on top of slowing bullets if you have a lead AND have free flex spots to spare, this hardens your lead by making people EVEN slower already with everything you have.
