Laning

Extended MagazineGood because it helps alleviate Ivy's poor magazine size problem. Gives more long term damage output for wave at the start, which means its a good alternative/supplement to Monster Rounds. Titanic Magazine

Titanic MagazineGreatly increases your magazine, allowing effortless waveclear, and lets you trade (Not often) sometimes with the enemy in lane with your raw gun. This will make your Tesla Bullets buy WAY better.

Tesla BulletsGun Ivy's BEST early/mid game item. Procs easily with ivy's high ROF, grants amazing jungle/camp clear, and allows easy proccage of debuffs. It is INSANE. Capacitor

CapacitorThis item is better the earlier you buy it, B/C Capacitor requires FAR LESS ROF to consistently proc than Tesla Bullets. Its active is a great substitute for ivy losing knockup on ultimate. Sprint Boots

Sprint BootsAbsolutely one of the best T1 health items in the game. When first bought, gives HP with investment, allows far faster box farming, and better roaming with slight OoC Regeneration. All for § 800 !

Sustain/Greens

Extra HealthINSANE item to buy if you want to postpone your 4.8k HP investment spike, to buy more items for farming and powerspikes, without being super squishy and burstable. Healing Rite

Healing RiteThis item has INSANE value, even outside of lane. You will NEVER regret or feel bad buying this item, as it keeps you topped up for HP after camps, and gives sprint speed! Extra Regen

Extra Regen Healbane

HealbaneIf planning to be hyper-active in the early game right after capacitor, this can be a good pickup against early healing characters. Otherwise, get crippling late. (~§35k+ souls)

Lane Extra

Headshot BoosterBest § 800 item in lane for winning lane and applying pressure. If buying, I reccomend going Extnd. Mag -> Headshot Booster -> Tesla for you 4.8k Gun Spike build order.

Mid Game

Rapid RoundsSlight damage increase. Powerspike more noticable when you buy swift striker.

Swift StrikerBest § 1600 item for raw unconditional firerate, while giving bonus sprint speed that very useful in the early game. Helps immensely with giving the exact fire rate you need for capacitor w T3 Tether. Active Reload

Active ReloadGiven that your character has a short reload time (Ivy does), this item is great, as you will be allowed to easily proc it to gain very high value stats, such as lots of firerate, movespeed, lifesteal Bullet Resist Shredder

Bullet Resist ShredderEasy to apply with Tesla/Capacitor, and provides a great Bullet Resist Shred debuff while giving spirit investment, and good base stats. Enduring Speed

Enduring SpeedGreat for stacking your movespeed, after Fleetfoot lost its value with T3 Tether changes. Movespeed resist will come to be useful later in the game as well.

Mid Survival

Spirit ResilienceRequired every game for the current spirit meta, and works well with creating more EHP (Effective HP) with siphon bullets. Dispel Magic

Dispel MagicInsane counter to Infernus/Mirage on-hit buildups, and generally great for any enemy that is causing a debuff that is causing you to lose or die constantly. (Also good if spirit burned nonstop late.) Metal Skin

Metal SkinInsanely Overpowered, but situational. Hard counters Haze/Vyper/Gun Warden, Gun Drifter, and ANY character that has ~X > 75% damage done by pure weapon damage bullets. Bullet Resilience

Bullet ResilienceBEFORE BUYING, Consider this: If the enemy is doing Weapon Damage by mainly bullets, get metalskin instead. Otherwise, if its from abilities, get this item or Escalating Resilience.

Mid Extra

Slowing BulletsThough it doesnt give raw stats, the latest slow change where regular slows also effect air dashing can certainly make this item more desirable. Reccomended if up a walker flex slot. Burst Fire

Burst FireThis item has significant value in the late game when you have ~+200% wpn dmg and ~+50% firerate, and happen to have the flex slots to buy a 3.2k item instead of a more expensive 6.4k item.

Late Game

Siphon BulletsWhen bought at around 20-25k souls, this item will actually feel effective due to characters starting to be at the 2500-3000HP range. Optimally, you want enemies to be at 3k+HP for this item to SHINE. Headhunter

HeadhunterCan be bought earlier to make use of raw trade damage it provides. Real value comes from large % heal that is impactful late game when you are 4000-5000HP.

HP 6.4ks

Healing TempoOften has more value if you buy this when behind to support other m1s, though you can still retain a fair amount of value from this item due to its abundance of passive stats. Colossus

ColossusCombined with Siphon bullets, and utilizing Ivy's above average health scaling, it gives great health value, and the dash slow on this item is INSANE. Great also if you have x < 15% of both resists. Juggernaut

JuggernautBetter with the diminishing movespeed buffs, and direct juggernaut movespeed buffs. Still, this item is optimal if you are using it to counter other m1s.

Debuffs

InhibitorVERY good debuff that counts as antiheal and a massive damage reduction. Easy to buildup with your current firerate, and when bought, gives ~350 HP and +10% wpn damage in raw stats (Very Good) Silencer

SilencerWhile inhibitor is great, this item INSTANTLY applies the damage debuff without needing a buildup. Great for spirit meta. Built-In Silence is also great for countering. Do note this gives no HP. Crippling Headshot

Crippling HeadshotDeletes victor, and heavily cripples any character that has high resists with high healing/sustain. Long debuff duration and easy proc makes it SUPER useful for your team needing damage.

Late Extra

Weakening HeadshotHere for the sake of being an easily accessible component for when you want to buy crippling headshot, and have a slot to spare for it. ONLY BUY IF BUILDING FOR CRIPPLING. Weighted Shots

Weighted ShotsVery good upgrade that mainly serves to give you debuff resist that you may otherwise be lacking in the midgame. Damage is great too. Good because other sources of debuff resist are very expensive.

Late Survival

Healing BoosterCan potentially be picked up right after midgame to fill slots and build towards healing tempo. Spellbreaker

SpellbreakerGives all the late game stats you are lacking, and want more of. Provides a layer of protection against spirit nukers, and gives slightly more resistance to what you already have, with debuff resist. Indomitable

IndomitableThis item is great against pick characters (Mo Krill, Holliday, Paradox, Bepop, etc.) But not reccomended until §40k+ souls. It doesnt get triggered by knockups/airbornes (except mirage FUCK YOU mirag Plated Armor

Plated ArmorVERY SITUATIONAL. Very good counter against Haze and Infernus. If not enough against on-hit characters, combining this with Dispel Magic practically makes their on-hits completely irrelevant. Unstoppable

UnstoppableGreat when the team is only managing to kill you through CC/Stuns, or curses and countless debuffs of similar sort. Also gives survivability with massive debuff resistance and some HP.

Spirit

Mystic SlowWith regular slows effecting air dashes as well now, this item can give you a little bit of the best of both worlds, making both movespeed and crazy airdashing harder, get only if you have many slots. Compress Cooldown

Compress CooldownWhen imbued on ult, and you are carrying people off cooldown, you can be perma rotating around mid-game skirmishes getting major map control and granting you a lead. Good if you have/know u have slots Transcendent Cooldown

Transcendent CooldownTreat this as a § 50k+ Soul Luxury item to let you proc Headhunter, Siphon, and Capacitor faster, alongside giving ability cooldowns. Very high value late game, but useless if you are buying it early.

BRS Swaps

Hunter's AuraA very good replacement for Bullet Resist Shredder, when you are heavily slot locked, but have money to spend. Usually only do this at § 35k+ souls when you are missing slots from walkers. Hollow Point

Hollow PointA very good replacement for Bullet Resist Shredder, when you are heavily slot locked, but have money to spend. Usually only do this at § 35k+ souls when you are missing slots from walkers.

TESTING | CAN BE GOOD | FULL IVY GUIDE BELOW - SCROLL DOWN

Debuff ReducerOnly buy if you need to stack significant DBR while being affordable. With Weighted shots and this, you have 40% DBR. Great against characters with ults like Holliday, Mo & Krill, given you have HP. Fleetfoot

FleetfootCan be worth your while if you dont buy many other mid/late extras (primarily replacing slowing bullets), allows for magazine uptime on camps and players. Reccomended to have fire rate before using it Toxic Bullets

Toxic BulletsYou will have enough firerate to reproc it even when its debuff removed (At around T3 tether max). This makes it a good antiheal option for mid-late game, and really shines late with high HP pools. Spellslinger

SpellslingerSpellslinger has been indirectly HEAVILY nerfed from the gun ivy playstyle. Fleetfoot is significantly worse on her, and you cant pop tether anymore. This removes two sources of proccing spellslinger. Armor Piercer

Armor PiercerThis should exclusively be used as a § 50k+ soul counter if the enemy has multiple plated armors, or a single high priority target has plated. If bought before 50k souls, it often has reduced value.
