Guide to Countering Ivern as Vel'Koz

When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

Be careful when fighting Ivern alone if he has Daisy ready to help!

Ivern's brush has a long duration. Watch out for ambushes!

Ivern can be deceptively slippery. Be careful chasing him too far.
