DPS Gun Ivy

This build was created by Suzu. To find this build in game search for "Mobalytics - DPS Ivy by Suzu".

This easy to pick up build uses Ivy's amazing gun capabilities to stack Fire Rate, Bullet Lifesteal, and Movement Speed to be a menace in every stage of the game, be it alone or with your team!

• For starter items, Extra Regen and Healing Rite can both also be bought if you are struggling in lane. Remember that you can play more defensively and still secure and deny Souls because your gun is pretty fast and reliable even early on! 

• An option if you’re more confident and experienced to buy early is Active Reload, buying it after Sprint Boots and Monster Rounds, it makes pushing Walkers and even having early skirmishes very advantageous for Ivy. Can also consider skipping Bullet Lifesteal if you go that path.

• Bullet Lifesteal and Heroic Aura combination can make you unkillable in the right scenarios, try to Slide as much as you can (your actives give you movement speed, making this much easier) as it gives you unlimited ammo during the slide. Stone Form also really shines at this point so you shouldn’t neglect it at all even if it’s a gun build. 

• Enduring Speed increases your ganking and roaming capabilities even more. Combine it with your Ultimate to be all over the map, always try to get to skirmishes and objectives.

• Slowing Hex slows even dashes, gives you Movement Speedand activates Bullet Resist Shredder reliably, great item overall.

• Intensifying Magazine is the key here, your Fire Rate and Magazine Size are perfect for this item and it means your consistent DPS is off the charts, you should shred objectives and even tanky heroes with it, even better after Titanic Magazine. 

• Improved Spirit Armor and Escalating Resilience make you tanky enough so that you actually have time to endure CC and pop Vampiric Burst and Stone Form to stall and survive if needed, they shouldn’t be ignored even if you feel like you’re ahead. 

• Close Quarters should be sold for Intensifying Magazine and Monster Rounds for Vampiric Burst if you’re lacking the flex slots. Sell Extra Health for Spirit Armor.

• Decay can be bought at any stage of the game against heroes with a lot of sustain like Abrams, Mo, Shiv and Kelvin. 

• Curse is very solid, it can be used to snowball a game more and to counter specific enemies who are giving your team issues, don’t be afraid to try it out. 

• Siphon Bullets is a very offensive and snowball-oriented item. It allows you to 1v1 anyone if ahead. 

• Inhibitor is never a bad purchase for your first Luxury Item and can be followed-up by Silencer or even Soul Rebirth.
