Get when you would need extra sustain / like you would healing rite. This catergory is not optional this will add greatly to your sustain.3 items
Other HMC
Optionalbuy instead of resto locker or ontop of. I mostly get resto locket for stamina and extra sustain, but this is better into a slowing comp.1 items
Mid Game Check
Before or after buying Point Blank I buy 1 - 3 counter items (depending on enemy and ally comp).1 items
Early / Mid Game Counters
Build your counters for yourself but also for helping your team, you are a tank / distractor. Kind of ordered in usefulness (last = least useful, first = most useful).15 items
For Actives / Abilities
OptionalI usually only buy Duration / Transcendent Cooldown when I have 3 or so active items, you dont really need these if you are just buying stuff like spirit / bullet res that arent affected by these.4 items
Optional

Late Core

Healing Tempo - very game specific

Please dont buy this
Optional1 items
Build Order
This is not realy a left to right build. You need to think about counter after Compress Cooldown and after that is really based on your judgement of games, make sure to use tab look general at enemy investment spikes / important items to make decisions on what to buy next. Sometimes you will get just 1 counter and build damage, sometimes you will get 4 counters and no damage, its super game state dependent.1 items
HMC
Look up tutorials, you can use Fleet Foot, Restorative Locket, Colossus, Stone Form (3) ability and others not in this build. This build changes as you rank up because people dont react to HMC in lower ranks (and in sometimes higher ranks) so you need to play around that and try to get profiles on each opponent in your game (whether to spam punches or HMC / curve ball).1 items
Ultimate (Air Drop) -
This Ultimate is really good, you can abuse it so you can have bad positioning or quickly fly to or away from fights. Can be used to save teammates from getting jumped or used to quickly escape (use veils / corners / stone form to help 4s cooldown). Try to communicate as best you can with your team if they need to be flown somewhere or out of a fight. You should no longer fly teammates with urn due to its speed.1 items
Tanking / Distrations
This build has really good sustain if you build counters correctly. You should be frontlining / tanking / distracting enemies. You should "support" your teammates by stunning / damaging / general coutnering. You also build max Kudzu Connection after Stone Form so make sure to keep it on gun carries. Make sure to try to eat up ultimates, people think of ivy as squishy and will spam ults on you so its your j*b to build agaisnt those ults and make it so they dont have ultimates for your team.1 items
Stone Form -
This is the most important ability in your kit, the stun and healing is very powerful. You can also pair it with your ultimate to snipe other ultimates like mina, lash, seven etc. You should also be using it on squishy quick characters, like mina, paige, holiday etc. You can also use it to dodge ults, paige, wraith, lash etc. You also gain invulnerability while using it so shiv knives, well timed for mirage mark, decay, knowing this we can use a height difference like off a building to extend the length of the stone form to reduce the amount of damage we take. Also if you arent in any danger you can use stone form then move to higher ground to lessen the time in it. Also beware of how much debuff reducer people have as if they have enough they can parry heavy melee on Stone Form stun, Especially with new urn comeback 35% debuff resist.1 items
Important Boons -
You get ability unlocks at boons 0, 2, 4, and 6. You get ability tokens at 1, 3, 5, 7, then every boon gives you 1 after 7. This means you get Stone Form tier 2 at 5 boons (15 second cooldown so spike in sustain / potential). Then at 11 boons (7.7k souls) you get tier 3 Stone Form and can heavy melee on stun. Else Max Kudzu Connection at 16 boons / 16.6k, max Air Drop at 28 boons / 30.1k, max Entangling Thorns at 35 boons / 40.6k.1 items
Urn
People holding the urn get a huge window where they cannot parry, abuse this and target people holding the urn. Once you punch the urn off of someone you can heavy melee 3 times before they get parry back, and 2 heavies if they have rebuttal. This build works I went from Emissary to top 50 ivy with this build so dont complain.1 items
