Ivern vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking to deny Zyra jungle camps without direct fights.
Prioritize protecting lanes that can follow up on your root (Q) and Daisy (R) knockup.
Leverage Ivern's utility and scaling to outlast Zyra's poke and zone control in mid-late game.

Jungle Plan

Use unusual routing and buff-sharing to deny Zyra camps and protect your carries.
Fight for Scuttle when your lanes have priority and can support objective control.
Focus on vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to enable safe objective setups and counter-jungling.

Danger windows

Early invade windows when Zyra controls brush with plants, increasing root threat.
Isolated river fights before level 3 when Ivern's dueling is weak.
Forced smite fights without lane priority or vision support increase risk of losing objectives.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to maintain medium clear speed and avoid early duels.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid early river invades unless your lanes can collapse quickly on Zyra's immobility.

Power spikes

Level 2: Zyra's root (E) and plant poke spike; avoid early river fights without lane priority.
Level 6: Daisy (R) knockup enhances gank threat; coordinate with lanes for strong follow-up.
Mid to late game: Ivern's utility scaling peaks; use shields and crowd control to enable carries.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into objectives by securing vision and enabling teammates to collapse on Zyra's immobile position.
Use counter-jungle routes to deny Zyra's camps while avoiding isolated fights.
Leverage Ivern's utility scaling to protect carries and control teamfights with Daisy and root (Q).
