How to play against Ivy

Combo: Ivy flies an ally into your team with Air Drop (or a bomb if she goes alone), then covers the landing with Entangling Thorns, which damage and slow you.

Beware: Air Drop’s slow and silence come from upgrades, so check her tiers. Watch the sky and don’t bunch up.

Shamelessly stolen and slapped my name on it from ttv/fatc_dl This build is very off meta and quite troll. No gun or green spikes, and the concept was nerfed 9
