- If you chose Sniper route, positioning is key. Make sure your frontliners are always between you and the enemy and just keep putting out as much damage on anything you see, buildings, troopers and heroes to add pressure.
- Toxic Bullets can be bought earlier if there's a fed Abrams, Shiv, Lady Geist, Infernus, etc
- Debuff Remover can be bought earlier against Pocket ult, Seven stun, Double bomb Bebop etc.
Overview
This build was created by AverageJonas. To find this build in game search for "Mobalytics - Twitch.tv/AverageJonas GUN IVY" (BuildID: 178917)
It's currently AverageJonas's favorite build! Make sure to wait until Frenzy gets activated before popping Vampiric Burst.
There's also a sniper variant for people who like to play in the back or against teams that have a lot of flyers.
Early Game
Build from left to right.
Ivy is pretty weak early on so focus on last hits and play safe. Make sure to reload after every last hit so you don't accidentally run out of ammo while enemy troopers are dying.
Your Stone Form can be used off cooldown to heal you and increase your sustain.
Freezing the wave outside your tower is completely fine until you et a few items.
Once you hit the 10 minute mark, go to yellow lane to solo fly the urn. The timing is to press Air Drop around the letter "G" in pickinG up urn.
Lastly, make sure you slide as much as you can to preserve ammo, this is why I stopped using Titanic Magazine.
Mid Game
Buy Debuff Reducer earlier against Abrams, Mo And Krill, etc.
Use your ult to rotate and gank fast. You can Stone Form mid air (practice this in Sandbox) to chain stun enemies with your Air Drop.
Tesla Bullets and Kudzu Bomb make your shred the jungle, so even tier 3 camps are easy to farm.
You can also look for opportunities to take out yellow and pink Walkers since they are weaker and die very fast.
Always keep in mind the urn spawn time and locations - 5 minutes spawn time and alternating each side of the map, always starting at yellow at 10 minutes.
Late Game (Brawler Path)
Build from left to right.
Your damage output is now VERY high. If you choose brawler route, make sure you don't pop Vampiric Burst before you go under 50% health so the Frenzy buff is active when you have your 5 second damage window.
Frenzy has a buffer time that lasts through your entire Vampiric Burst even if you are 100% health. In this window nobody can 1v1 you.
Late Game (Sniper Path)
Situational and Luxury Items
