Viego vs Ivern

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Viego's medium early pressure and reset threat to force river fights where lanes can collapse for the first takedown.
Avoid isolated early duels before item spikes since Ivern's utility and pathing can outmaneuver direct fights.
Prioritize skirmishes and objective control to snowball through resets rather than raw smite contests.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong CC or priority to leverage (W) stun and secure resets in skirmishes.
Contest first Scuttle when your lanes can move first and use vision to track Ivern's buff-sharing routes.
Focus on counter-jungling camps that Ivern marks late, especially after first item spikes, to deny his utility scaling and force fights on your terms.

Danger windows

Respect Ivern's (Q) root and (R) Daisy knockup in river fights; avoid isolated skirmishes without lane support.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Ivern's team has vision and can collapse with shields and CC.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights early, as one takedown can snowball into a reset cleanup against you.

Early game

Start with a clear that enables timely river presence to contest or secure first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades unless you have lane support ready to collapse quickly on Ivern's unusual pathing.
Use (E) camouflage to approach river fights and ganks from unexpected angles to punish Ivern's low dueling and mobility.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks execute and repositioning resets; look for fights where a low target starts a chain.
First fighter item increases sustained dueling and reset potential; fight around lanes that can collapse to convert kills into objectives.
Avoid fighting before these spikes as Ivern's utility and shielding can outlast your early damage without resets.

Win conditions

Use river skirmishes where (W) can start a stun chain to secure first takedown and snowball resets into objective control.
Prioritize vision and tempo around dragon and Rift Herald to force Ivern into unfavorable fights.
Counter-jungle marked camps after first item spikes to deny Ivern's utility scaling and leverage your stronger dueling to carry teamfights.
