Welcome to Ivern, The Green Father's In-depth Jungle Guide

Ivern, The Green Father once long ago was a man.. a pretty bad one. Ivern used to take what he wanted and killed anyone in his way. That changed one day when he cut down a mysterious tree called a "Godwillow." As it fell, the tree's magic flooded the cruel warriors soul, leaving him with a love of nature and a new appreciation of life. Now by protecting the forest from those with evil in their hearts, The Green Father hopes to find atonement for his sins.
There may be many reasons why you're interested in playing Ivern (Prounounced, EYE-VERN). He has one of the most unique Jungling kits in the game. Rooting Enemies and allowing your full team to dash to them, hiding your friends in brush, and of course, Daisy, the beautiful Gingerbread (Pending Skin Choice..) that smashes, dashes, and knocks up your enemies. Whatever your reason for playing the Green Father, he's not as simple as he looks.
When playing Ivern, it can be tough to understand the role in which you take for your team. Not to worry of course, because in this guide, your role is going to be Tanky Ability Power Support that saves animals, friends, and solo's dragons under covert fog of war. Not only does Ivern come with his unique Jungle kit and that wild drunk walk, he has his own special tricks up his sleeve to really throw enemies off and sometimes, well.. You might have your team saying wow. Hopefully for the right reasons!
My in-game name is Etyrnal. I've played League of Legends since late Season 5 and have bounced between the Jungle life and the deadly Mid Lane. My peak elo is Gold 3. Besides Ivern, my top champions (Both in Mastery Points & love of play) are Syndra, Taliyah, and Azir. Though it may sound odd that I would be into Ivern after playing such sinister and powerful champions in the Mid Lane, I have a fling for "Control Mages" that can really alter a team fight by way of stuns, knockups, dashes, roots, and power. You can catch me streaming live on Twitch for Ivern gameplay. With that said, will begin to dive into the guide. Thank you for reading. Please feel free to comment your questions or critiscm and vote!
Ivern loves jungle monsters and would never harm them. Instead, he sets them free! Clicking on any jungle camp creates a grove using some of Ivern's health and mana. The grove matures over time; when fully grown it can be clicked on again to free the camp's denizens, granting Ivern gold and XP. Smiting a camp with a grove on it instantly sends the monsters to safety.
After level five, the Green Father creates copies of the red and blue buff whenever he frees the Red Brambleback or Blue Sentinel—they'll leave behind a sapling which can be picked up by allies.
Q: Rootcaller
Ivern shoots out a ropey root that deals magic damage and (as you'd expect) roots the first enemy it hits. Allies who use a basic attack on the rooted target will automatically dash to get within attack range.
W: Brushmaker
Passive: When hiding in brush, Ivern's basic attacks have increased magic damage and range. This effect lasts for a couple seconds after Ivern leaves the brush.
Active: Ivern creates a patch of brush, temporarily revealing the area around it. The amount of brush created is slightly greater if it's placed near a wall or any other brush. The Green Father's grassy patches disappear on their own after a moderate delay.
E: Triggerseed
Ivern places a protective seed onto his ally, granting them a shield. After a short delay the seed explodes, damaging and slowing all nearby enemies.
R: Daisy!
Ivern summons Daisy, an enormous sentinel who loves hugs. Daisy scampers around joyfully, knocking up Ivern's target after a few hits. Ivern can recast this ability to direct his boisterous friend toward new targets. She'll hang around until her hankering for hugs has been satisfied, or until her health bar is depleted.

It should go without saying but I'll reiterate for any one that may need it.





Having 15 Ability Power early on is going to give you better early game gank potential damage. If you don't prefer the Ability Power Quintessence, an honorable mention for Quintessence runes is 3


I use these ruins just for a base amount of Magic Penetration. As Ivern, we don't get the opportunity to build Magic Penetration from items, so having the Magic Penetration marks is something we can carry through-out the game.

I use these ruins because an extra 216 Health at level 18 is a solid boost for us. If you're feeling like you need to focus on Armor for a certain game, feel free to use


Ivern could use some cooldown reduction but we don't get as much as we would like from items. By using these Glyph's, will be able to get a little closer to max Cooldown Reduction at Level 18. Ivern's cooldown's are relatively quite high but with 35% to 40% cooldown reduction, we can substantially cut those cooldowns down.
















Where To Begin The Clear
I recommend starting on your Red Buff for your Jungle Clear. As soon as the camp comes up, right click to begin channeling your passive, Friend of the Forest. After the 2 second channel, you can Smite the Red Buff. Here's where we get Ivern's huge advantage with early game and his jungle clear.
From the Red Buff, I recommend finding a lane gank immediately. With minions just crashing into the Bottom and Top lanes and Mid Lane phase in full swing, it's one of the best early ganks to make happen and often results in first blood for your team. As a remind when ganking at Level 2, I always recommend that If you get the enemies

From Red Buff to your 1st lane gank, I recommend moving to your Blue Buff. Having the Red Buff and the Blue Buff will make your Jungle clear easier. Remember, you need a minimum amount of Health and Mana in order to use your passive on the Camps. If you're low on health from your early lane gank, feel free to use your health potions in order to get your full Jungle clear in. But again, do not forget to get your Blue Buff as you will also need the mana!
The Jungle Clear Map : A (Somewhat) Mapped Out Clear for Ivern
1) Begin at Red Buff. Use your passive and

2) Execute a Level 1 Lane Gank. Mid Lane is usually pretty ripe for the picking, but you can assume it will always be situational. Remember, you should have 1 Point in your


3) After your Lane Gank (Hopefully with a First Blood or Flash), move to your Blue Buff (


4) From this point, It's basic rinse and repeat. Ivern's Jungle clear is very unique, both in style and in speed. Use it to your advantage. As a note, try to remember that at Level 6, you should find it relatively easy to bring down Dragon #1 with Daisy and your Brush should supply you the perfect Fog of War in order to execute it completely unseen.

















October 08, 2016 :: Patch 6.20 Mid-Patch Hot Fixes
Ivern Balance Update
The Green Father hasn't been out for long, but it's clear that would-be Ivern mains are having a tough time finding success on the Rift. We're targeting two specific issues for now: letting him take better advantage of Brushmaker's basic attack buff, and helping him scale better into the late-game. (The magic resist line is more of a 'buff fix' to make Ivern's stats consistent with most other champs.)
HEALTH GROWTH STAT 74 ⇒ 90
MAGIC RESIST 30 ⇒ 32.1
ATTACK SPEED 0.625 ⇒ 0.644
ATTACK SPEED GROWTH STAT 2.8% ⇒ 3.4%"
