Ivern
Champions that beat Ivern
- Alistarsupport
Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) flash-engages the ADC and stuns through Triggerseed (E) shield before Ivern can land Rootcaller (Q). Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction tanks the Daisy! (R) slam burst during the chain.
- Amumujungle
Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) plus Flash chains catch a tightly-positioned team in one cone; a single Triggerseed (E) shield cannot cover multiple targets at once. Daisy! (R) third-auto knockup arrives too late to save the back line from the damage Despair (W) ticks every second.
- Fiddlesticksjungle
A Harmless Scarecrow (P) brush stealth bypasses Ivern's pre-fight Brushmaker (W) vision setup, and Crowstorm (R) channel deletes Ivern's squishy frame before he can drop Daisy! (R) for peel. Triggerseed (E) shield breaks under Terrify (Q) fear-amplified channel.
- Kha'Zixjungle
Leap (E) plus Void Assault (R) jumps past Ivern's position onto the carry; Triggerseed (E) shield burns fast against Taste Their Fear (Q) isolated burst. Rootcaller (Q) has a slow wind-up Kha'Zix simply dashes through, and Unseen Threat (P) lets him open from outside your vision.
- Lee Sinjungle
Ivern cannot 1v1 — Brushmaker (W) damage requires brush, Rootcaller (Q) has no escape utility. Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike (Q) plus Safeguard (W) pre-3 invade deletes his groves; Dragon's Rage (R) punts Ivern out of the camp before Triggerseed (E) can shield anyone.
- Leonasupport
Zenith Blade (E) plus Shield of Daybreak (Q) flash forward and chain CC the ADC before Ivern can land Rootcaller (Q). Triggerseed (E) shield breaks instantly under Solar Flare (R) stun radius; Ivern has no peel against multi-CC engage.
- Luxmid
Lucent Singularity (E) zone shuts down Brushmaker (W) brush angles, and Light Binding (Q) roots him out of the Q windup from 1175 units against Rootcaller's 1125. Final Spark (R) executes through Triggerseed (E) shield from 3340 range.
- Morganasupport
Black Shield (E) spell-shield blocks Rootcaller (Q) root completely, undoing the entire setup. Dark Binding (Q) roots him out of his cast window, and Soul Shackles (R) chain stun catches him without escape in Brushmaker (W) brush.
- Naafirimid
We Are More (P) Packmates shred Ivern's groves in a pre-3 invade he cannot win — autos are weak, no escape. Eviscerate (E) dash bypasses Rootcaller (Q) angles, and Hounds' Pursuit (R) lets her chase Ivern through Triggerseed (E) slow.
- Tahm Kenchsupport
Devour (R) ult eats the ADC out of Daisy! (R) slam radius before the third auto lands; Tongue Lash (Q) lash slow on Ivern denies the Rootcaller (Q) cast positioning. Thick Skin (E) shield mitigates W brush poke during the engage.
- Taliyahjungle
Ivern's Brushmaker W brushes are static spawns that Rock Surfing crosses faster than he can rotate. Seismic Shove W shoves him away from Daisy, whose knock-up is his only lockdown, and Threaded Volley Q AOE clears his brush approach.
Champions Ivern beats
- Blitzcranksupport
Rocket Grab (Q) requires Blitzcrank to walk forward into Rootcaller (Q) range — Ivern's root from Brushmaker (W) brush plus ADC dash punishes the cast windup. Power Fist (E) knockup cannot reach the carry once Triggerseed (E) shield procs the dash window.
- Brandsupport
Brand has no dash. Rootcaller (Q) plus ADC dash kills him before Sear (Q) stun chain into Conflagration (E) DOT can ramp; W active brush denies the line-of-sight needed for Pillar of Flame (W) zone aim. Pyroclasm (R) bounce cannot save him during the root.
- Karthusjungle
Rootcaller (Q) from fog locks Karthus in place; ADC dash-on-attack chains the kill before Flash, and Daisy! (R) follow-up knockup pins him during Requiem (R) channel. Wall of Pain (W) cannot slow Daisy's path during the engage.
- Lilliajungle
Lillia leans on Watch Out! Eep! (W) bonk autos against camps — slow and HP-costly. Friend of the Forest (P) frees monsters in seconds, putting Ivern at level 5 with Rootcaller (Q) ready. Daisy! (R) interrupts Lilting Lullaby (R) wake-stun setup.
- Master Yijungle
Friend of the Forest (P) grove mechanic skips camp fights entirely; while Master Yi grinds Double Strike (P) autos on monsters, Ivern is already shielding lanes with Triggerseed (E) by level 5. Rootcaller (Q) locks Yi mid-Alpha Strike (Q) chain on the return cast.
- Threshsupport
Thresh walks forward into Rootcaller (Q) range to land Death Sentence (Q) — Q plus ADC dash punishes the windup with a guaranteed root before the hook leaves the cast animation. Flay (E) knockback cannot reach Ivern in Brushmaker (W) brush.
- Veigarmid
Rootcaller (Q) locks Veigar before he can complete Event Horizon (E) cage setup; the ADC-attached dash from Q lands a kill before Phenomenal Evil Power (P) stacks online. Daisy! (R) knockup interrupts Primordial Burst (R) cast windup.
- Warwickjungle
Friend of the Forest (P) grove mechanic skips clear time while Warwick stacks Blood Hunt (W) ramp. Rootcaller (Q) cancels Infinite Duress (R) leap mid-flight, and Triggerseed (E) shield on the carry tanks Jaws of the Beast (Q) heal-trade burst.
- Xerathsupport
Xerath has no dash. Rootcaller (Q) from Brushmaker (W) brush plus ADC follow-up wipes him; W active brush gives Ivern a free vision-and-damage zone he cannot match without burning summoner spells. Shocking Orb (E) is sidestepped on cooldown.
- Yuumisupport
Yuumi chases the ADC with You and Me! (W) attached heals but brings no peel against Rootcaller (Q); the root catches the carry, Daisy! (R) slam follows, and the Final Chapter (R) heals arrive too late. She has nothing that removes the root.
