Holliday depends on her skills as a crack shot, shooting things she's bounced into the air. With good aim she can lay out heavy damage. Her movement skills let her isolate her enemies or beat a hasty retreat.

Description
Easy to use Spirit and up to date build focusing on Kudzu bombs early, and comboing your kit late
Read the annotations as you can, especially if you're new to Ivy or to the reworked, queue up autobuy when dead.
If you're really struggling, buy left to right from "Early" "Farm" (but only one) "Mid" "Late - Cheap" and "Late - Spendy" .
Top tip: Don't waste your Kudzu Bombs, save for when someone can't dodge (no stamina, stuck in a corner) or you have max.
Good luck and good flying pilot!
Item Build
Early
Usually Left to Right, but get Mystic Regen as needed :)
I think without this you struggle to hold lane well, but if things are going great, feel free to skip!
Imbue on 1
Worse now, but upgrades - sell after High-Velocity Rounds, or keep the whole game if you need the regen/healing
Farm (Get one max)
Best for winning or even games. Get this early (before the end of "Mid") and fight whenever it makes sense
Best for games you're struggling. Not as good as Trophy Collector for you, but still strong
Mid
Any order really
If they have absolutely no spirit, you could skip this
Probably the easiest way to help your team, and very useful for damage - upgrades into your best late item
Core part of your kit and great support - Lightning Scroll isn't a huge upgrade for you though
Imbue on 1
Early/Mid Optionals
Strong but you don't have much space, choose carefully
Always nice but important into [Warden, Haze, Vindicta]
Good in 90% of games [Geist, Mo & Krill, Dynamo, Kelvin, Calico, Abrams, Infernus, Pocket, Lash]
Still a useful item, particularly for [Infernus, Pocket, Mo & Krill]
Almost always useful, but particularly into [Infernus, Lash, Wraith, Dynamo, Calico, Abrams] and builds into Vortex Web. If you cant decide what to get here, get this.
[Haze, Viper, Wraith, Infernus, Vindicta w/ a gun]
Personally I don't feel you need this, but if you want Superior Duration later, this is fine on 1 or 3 (or even 4)
[Bebop, Abrams] Mainly for laining, don't get too late
Upgrades for Optionals
If you get them
Nice upgrade if you got Extra Stamina - doesn't save stamina anymore though!
[Infernus, Bebop, Seven, Warden, kind of Mo & Krill and Abrams]
There is an arguement for this depending on the game, particularly once you have Spirit Burn, Vortex Web, Lightning Scroll or any good actives
It's like old Mystic Regen and old Boundless Spirit! If you want to survive for longer, why not (but you might struggle for space on defence/counters later on)
Late
Any order. Buy from Scrambling Time whenever.
Easy, cheap upgrade BUT if you need lots of defence and optionals, you can just sell extra spirit
This is still very useful for you, but without extra cooldown you need to know when to store up Kudzu's - not often worth rushing
Good upgrade, never worth skipping imo
Great for your ult and gargoyle, and even more Kudzu. Secretly most important for Spirit Burn and Vortex Web later (and you can delay till then if your aim is amazing).
I love Kudzu Bomb 2! BUT if you need loads of defence or counters, skip this.
Scrambling Time
Get the first three ALWAYS, others are not nearly as good
Usually first buy, but get Spirit Burn first if you need anti-heal, or Vortex Web if you're struggle to hit Kudzus
TIME TO PUT EM IN THE SCRAMBLER. Combo becomes: Fly -> Kudzu (and Alch Fire) -> Vortex Web -> Bomb -> Gargoyle (onto them). All as quick as you can!
TIME TO PUT THEM IN THE EVER WORSE SCRAMBLER
It's a nice capstone for you now and if you don't need defence, it's going to add plenty of damage - but no rush
Pretty good, but only if you're ulting often
Great if you're hitting shots and confident sliding, otherwise get something else
Spirit Defence
Slot these in as you go
Usually not needed, if you find you're dying to spirit a lot (particularly AOE) play further back, but sometimes you need it
If they're all Spirit this is a great item - this isn't an upgrade for Enchanter's Emblem, nor is it strictly better - you want both into Spirit teams (until you can get a Tier IV)
Excellent stats - great into [Infernus and Lash] particularly
Potentially strong and very fun - great if you're having long fights and running out of Kudzus
Very adaptable - grant it to tanky team mates too far in, or yourself if you get ambushed
Can make you very hard to hit if you're enjoying shooting, but usually get something else
Weapon Defence
Slot these in as you go
Usually not needed, but if you just keep dying to guns, why not
Usually better to get something with other usage as well, but for a team stacked with just bullets, this is pretty good
Amazing item and good for your team against [Haze, Viper, Wraith, Infernus, Vindicta w/ gun] and all other gun carries
The selfish Ivy's Juggernaut - if you're getting absolutely shredded by guns then grab this, grab Juggernaut too even
[Haze, Viper, or really fed gun carries] evil, nasty and selfish option (but still really good)
Counter Items
You almost always want something from here - sell Alchemical Fire (or skip) if you need space
[Haze, Wraith, Viper, Infernus, any other gun carry]
[Haze, Wraith, Viper, Infernus, any other gun carry] hugely useful supportive option
[Vindicta, Grey Talon, Lash, Ult Focused Seven and Bebop] ALWAYS a good buy if any of these are in the game
Really strong right now, particularly for [Mo & Krill, Shiv, Abrams, Calico, Geist]
[Any spirit carries you're struggling with, and really good for Mo & Krill, Bebop, Calico]
Excellent item, don't be put off by the cost it has good stats and amazing utility. Particularly good for [Lash, Shiv, Haze, Bebop, Burst Damage]
If one person on their team has all the souls, buy this
Same as curse but particularly for Spirit heroes you want DEAD
Potentially amazing but needs confidence - really good into [Lash ult, Infernus ult, Bebop bombs, etc.]
[Lash, Dynamo, Abrams] Usually only worth if you got Debuff Reducer but not Remover
Sort of like funnier Knockdown, and good with gargoyle [Grey Talon, Vindicta, Haze, Viper, Wraith, Infernus]
An Example Build
Refer to this if you're stuck on what to get next (sell Trophy Collector once you have enough souls to finish the build)
Important part of your damage and useful support. Also some sprint!
It's like old Mystic Regen + Boundless Spirit - get this OR a defence item later (and sell regen)
