Ivy has disruptive combat tricks that slow and stun enemies. She's most effective when linking up with an ally, empowering her and her ally's guns as well as sharing heals.

10/3/25 - Huge nerfs have hit, but we still stand. Ivy keeps her insane roam, her insane farm, and free macro and tempo. Her meta items are unchanged and even better on her now. You can still rush glass cannon for pubstomps, but please avoid this in higher elos as it sacrifices tempo.
I
Headshot Booster
Can buy as a first item. Good for securing lane win. If you have a strong lane partner that MUST win lane, a typical lane winning item route is: Headshot Bstr > Extd Mag > Battle Vest > Tesla
I
Monster Rounds
You want to push your lane ASAP as ivy. Is also a component.
Left -> Right [Can aim for a 6:00 Tesla Buy] [Can buy Health early]
I
Extended Magazine
Synergizes with monster rounds to utterly destroy early lane troopers, and lets you poke enemy a bit more.
II
Titanic Magazine
Now that you are using more ammo with your higher firerate, you will need more ammo to compensate. Plus you will get a super small damage bonus. Long lasting fights with this and Tesla are great!
III
Tesla Bullets
Insanely good item. Significantly accelerates your farming speed, adds good hero damage output, and scales well with firerate. Gives you a huge early game powerspike.
I
Extra Health
Helps significantly with early game health problem, and green investment health bonus. Great for burst lanes and enemy comps that have high burst.
I
Sprint Boots
You can buy this earlier for box running and sustain while ignoring extra regen. Otherwise, buy later.
II
Enduring Speed
Essential for maintaining high m/s values when slowed, and adding a constant amount as well.
II
Active
Fleetfoot
IVY NO LONGER HAS BUILT IN FLEETFOOT!!! Thus this item is now needed. Fleetfoot is overpowered anyway, as you gain survivability, and conditional movespeed thats amazing for chasing. Spam this item.
I
Active
Healing Rite
Best item to buy in a bad lane. Sprint speed that it gives makes it remain useful even after laning phase for roaming. Great for quickly recovering in lane. Do a box run while riting, dont miss wave.
Capacitor is your FIRST Powerspike
II
Bullet Resist Shredder
Gives +11 Spirit, on tether: [+3% Fire rate, +2% Bullet Lifesteal], small amounts of bullet resist, and good amounts of flat HP. Gives early shred for camps, and enemies. Very high value item!
II
Active Reload
Gives many useful stats. High firerate for faster Tesla proccing, dps, bullet lifesteal (Ivy starts with small lifesteal values) and movespeed. Alleviates ammo problem.
IV
Active
Capacitor
Small DPS increase compared to all other 3200 items, but provides great counterplay against VERY specific characters. Cancelling Viscous cube, flights, steroids [Wraith Full Auto, Seven Surge, etc.]
III
Active
Heroic Aura
Insanely powerful. Sprint speed and movespeed values are INSANE for roaming and fights. Gives resistances for you and your team, and firerate for more damage. ALWAYS HAVE THIS READY BEFORE FIGHTING!!!
Left -> Right [Can buy Glass Cannon BEFORE Hollow Point]
III
Hollow Point
[ !! ONLY BUY THIS if skipping GLASS CANNON !! ] Replace glass cannon with this item if so.
III
Burst Fire
Insanely good raw fire rate stats for a 3.2k item, gives you movespeed too for zooming!
IV
Lucky Shot
30% More Damage! This is a late game buy because it multiplies ALL OF YOUR EXISTING damage/firerate. Gives ammo too!
III
Active
Blood Tribute
Helps fill in your missing firerate late game to saturate your high damage output. Movespeed, spirit resist, regen, and health are all useful here, especially Debuff resist! INSANE with siphon bullets
IV
Glass Cannon
BIG raw damage! You have enough health at this point to not make this as risky as it would be to buy earlier.
IV
Siphon Bullets
Good for late game sustained fights and survivability. Great against tankier people who are counter building you with Plated Armor and Bullet Resilience. Synergizes w/ Spirit Resil & Blood Tribute
Left side items are generally used more commonly
III
Spirit Resilience
Very good survival item. Lets you live a lot longer after being bursted down by several spirit heroes. Works great if you have lots of sustain items (Like vampiric burst, or siphon bullets)
III
Fortitude
No-Brain buy if you need some sort of Sustain + Survivability + Speed into the Late Game.b
III
Active
Debuff Remover
Lots of debuffs on the enemy team? This item is generally great against all characters. Mo ult, Infernus burn, Stuns, literally almost everything. Grab this if you are struggling with debuffs.
III
Active
Warp Stone
Good for instantly avoiding hate crimes that may lead into cc chains and then lead you to get instakilled.
IV
Juggernaut
Great stats. Alright against melee heavy comps, and amazing if enemy team has several gun carry heroes like wraith and vyper. No need for suppressor if you have this.
IV
Active
Unstoppable
Too many stuns? Great if you are being picked off in fights exclusively due to stuns and cc. Buy at 30k+ souls preferably.
READ THE ITEMS ANNOTATIONS !!!
III
Escalating Resilience
This item can be bought and can replace TITANIC MAGAZINE!!! Great resistance against gun characters whilst keeping ammo and damage as a bonus.
III
Hunter's Aura
This item can be bought and can replace BULLET RESIST SHREDDER!!! [This item provides better 1v1s, mainly vs m1/gun characters who rely on fire rate. Also helps shred VS. Yamato, Seven, Viscous ULTS]
IV
Spellslinger
This item can be bought and should ONLY be bought after you have 45,000+ § SOULS - Replaces ACTIVE RELOAD!!! [Gives far more firerate, uptime, and can proc 5/6 stacks instantly late game with actives]
IV
Active
Vampiric Burst
This item can be bought and can replace BLOOD TRIBUTE!!! Provides a burst of firerate, completely gives you instant +100% ammo, and gives absurd lifesteal.
IV
Crippling Headshot
This can be bought and can replace BULLET RESIST SHREDDER! Provides INSANELY long lasting shred debuff that your entire team can benefit from too
message @Highdocker on discord for questions regarding ANYTHING about Gun Ivy or this build (you dont need to add me as a friend, you can just send me a straight up message)
IV
Inhibitor
Testing, still unsure whether or not this is worth picking up to counter hyperfed M1 carries on the enemy team that are destroying your team
IV
Spellbreaker
Anti - GIGA burst from high damage spirit characters. Debuff resist is insanely good too.
Gunivy is still good, they just nerfed everything except the reason gun ivy was too strong (she is still the best farmer in the game, she still has insane roam, she can still abuse the op gun items) - Planning on adding general build info in the coming week - Cultist nerf, despite giving lots of money for boons, is even worse now because ivy's gun boons are significantly less valuable now. Item prioritization and saving active slots for other items (like blood tribute) is expected to have more value than wasting a slot for a partial uptime of an item like cultist sacrifice.
