La manipolazione del tempo consente a Paradox di superare i nemici nei combattimenti uno contro uno. Per avere la meglio, cambia opportunamente la posizione dei nemici, posizionandoli nei pressi di una Granata pulsante prossima all'esplosione, del suo Muro o in mezzo ai suoi compagni di squadra.

Item Build
Laning CORE
Left ---> Right
500
Needed for mild sustain + minion secures + farming early-mid game
1250
Great defensive + offensive stats, good to rush. Buy long range before/after active reload if you need more bullet shield for more stat uptime.
500
Recharge rate amazing with 4 pre-existing stamina, super slimy in lane with 5 total stamina.
500
Required for any chance of securing minion kills consistently + to keep pressure up in lane
500
ESSENTIAL to cover for low base health, and fortitude build path
500
helps push lanes and camp clearing, get by the time tier 2 camps spawn (6:00) [You can SELL this item first when low on spirit slots]
Sustain
500
Powerful. Heals you fast, and can be used mid game for extra sprint speed.
500
Great for keeping ground in lane, and additional ammo is super helpful. [+4 AMMO]
Spirit
1250
Buy mid-late
Early CORE
Left ---> Right
500
helps with farming, and improves range of all major abilities for super low cost.
1250
Greatly alleviates ivy's poor ammo problem, and allows for near-constant dps with active reload ability.
500
sustain + build path into enduring speed
3000
[ESSENTIAL ITEM] - When you buy this item, you can start to take fights and farm super fast. [Can sell Basic Mag]
Mid CORE
Left ---> Right
3500
Allows for fast camp clearing (reaches 9.3m/s slide threshold) works GREAT with enduring speed, not to mention crazy healh for survivability
1750
[ESSENTIAL ITEM] - Movespeed is broken on Ivy, and with enough movespeed you can slide without needing sprint. Slow resistance is essential
1250
[PLACE ON 2] - Combined with active reload, you essentially have 3 clips with bonus fire rate, solving the ammo problem
6000
Extra movespeed is essential, and active allows for near instakills on set targets. Damage and ammo is great too. [Can sell Monster Rounds]
Spirit +
4250
Buy mid-late
Late CORE
Left ---> Right
1250
Longer Stone Form stun, Longer Tether, Longer lasting kudzus and Ult Silence, and amazing stats. Buffs upcoming gun item durations.
3000
Huge powerspike for ivy, synergizes with your (14 pre-existing movespeed) and provides huge dps boost.
6000
Final CORE item for this dps build. Can shred people in a second or less once you get this item. [If 0 flex slots, sell active reload/long range]
Counter Items
Debuff Reducer/Remover strong rn
3000
Typically only buy this if the enemy team is has significant amounts of bullet damage, so you have room to buy spirit resist as well.
4250
Super overlooked, reduces SO MANY EFFECTS AND STUNS, gives ~300 heal, and good stats.
1250
Good mid game 4th/5th health item.
1250
Good into Mirage, Wraith, Haze, etc. and provides dps boost with bullet resist shred.
1250
Good into Shiv, Abrams, Kelvin, Yamato, works as a SINGLE TARGET big antiheal.
Bullet
1250
Only get if enemy team is mostly bullet damage, as escalating resistance provides more value. If short on slots, get this.
Super Late CORE
(Left side items are generally more preferred, right side less so)
1250
All abilities come back faster, great in general to keep up with late game tempo.
3000
[PLACE ON 2] Gives even more movespeed, significant scaling for tether, and useful firerate for damage.
6000
After lucky shot, get this item and begin to build tank. You already have insane dps, so build to become unkillable.
6000
Very valuable late game item, as it helps significantly in team fights, while providing extra damage and survivability
6000
Makes Ivy almost immortal. Pairs EXTREMELY well with siphon bullets.
7250
Super powerful item. Excels in gun-heavy enemy team comps, and when you already have lots of health and sustain.
6000
Great for ability/spirit heavy comps, especially ones with HUGE impact ultimates.
4250
[PLACE ON 2] Makes tether last almost as long as any fight + silence. Synergizes with siphon bullets, silencer 6k item, practically all items.
Bullet +
4250
Only get if enemy team is mostly bullet damage, as escalating resistance provides more value. If short on slots, get this.
Swappable (Ignoreable)
1250
Can be replaced with active reload, or you can use both for increased early game impact. Based on preference
3000
Can skip active reload for this, Reccomended to buy after fortitude if so.
Experimental Items (Ignorable)
Still testing these items, ignore for a consistent build.
3500
If you are new to sliding ivy builds, buying titanic after intensifying is a good way to get used to ivy's low ammo problem. Drop the item once you feel comfortable sliding.
3000
Suitable mid-late game antiheal item, be warned, does not scale well as this build lacks spirit.
1250
Potentially good early-mid game buy if you have ample flex slots.
6000
Team lacking resist shredders? Enemy team clocking in at 60+ bullet resist? Get this. (preferably after 25-31k souls)
1250
Works well with withering whip. With that, you get -23% bullet resist on the enemy. (-38% with this + withering whip + T1 Air Drop Ultimate)
500
Pairs well with combat barrier, and provides extra damage to poke if you really need it early game.
1250
Good for ability spam lanes. Reccomended to be rushed over combat barrier, though significantly weaker since the 35m range nerf.
OVERVIEW
This build is aimed towards being a late game carry at 19-20k souls. By that time, your gun damage growth is maximized, and you will have insane gun dps, super speed, infinite ammo with 3 reloads and insta-sliding. Focus on playing to survive and securing souls early game: IVY IS THE WEAKEST LANER. Only play aggressive in lane if your partner has a suitably strong character (ex: Abrams or Mo and Krill) or if the enemy lane has weak laners (Haze with Dynamo).
WEAKNESSES
The only weakness with this build is how frail you are mid game. This build is more frail than other builds (such as wanders) as health items are prioritized super late game. Because of this, despite being able to almost instantly kill anyone, you must always be aware of incoming cc and interupts (Mo and Krill ult / Paradox Carbine, Lash ground pound) anything that sets you up to be chain stunned and obliterated. You can get away with 1v1 picks across the map IF YOU ARE POSITIVE most enemies arent missing from map. Otherwise, try and play behind at least one teammate.
SLIDING
This build is based on the mechanic of being able to instantly initiate a slide once you have 9.3m/s (Fortitude Buy). You can begin to slide super comfortably and more efficiently at 12m/s (Fortitude + Enduring Speed + T2 Tether Upgrade). You want to slide as much as possible, despite having QSR or Active Reload as you want as much damage uptime as humanly possible.
POWERSPIKE
Play towards your 19750-20500 soul powerspike. Ivy's gun damage growth scales insanely fast, and stops at 19k souls. VAMPIRIC BURST is your powerspike, and assuming you have bought every item before it including healing rite OR resto locket, you will be at the soul count of 19750-20500, where you will deal the most damage.
TIPS:
Vampiric Burst/Lucky Shot are your powerspikes. Typically, in 75% of games, you want to go vampiric burst. It provides health, significant sustain, and massive damage. In rare cases where your team is doing poorly, and lacks a damage carry while desperately needing one NOW, you can rush lucky shot instead of vamp burst. Also, at the beggining of the game, upgrading kudzu to tier one while it is still on cooldown will instantly refresh it.
TIPS: (Continued)
Why Quicksilver Reload on tether (2) instead of kudzu bomb (1) ? Intensifying magazine instantly loses damage when you take your kudzu out. Tether is instant, and when you get surge of power, you dont want to be using multiple abilities to proc your items. If you really want, getting QSR on kudzu is still very good, it is just up to preference.
TIPS: (Continued x2)
Have trouble hitting your ultimate? Right before you drop bomb, make sure you are close to the ground to lower the amount of time needed for the bomb to impact the ground. Try to aim the bomb semi-predictively, where you think the enemy will be in 0.5-1 second, as the bomb AOE grows outwards, instead of being a instant explosion. This will knock them up, allowing you to throw a kudzu, into stone form, and then beaming them with your gun while they have lowered bullet resist, and are significantly slowed.
