How Baba beats Ivy
Your game plan as Baba
A chaotic hex-caster who turns fights into a mess of silences, slows and stolen Spirit.
Lane
Trade with Threadsap. It steals Spirit, so every hit swings the lane. Granny Long Legs gives you an escape and a knockback kick.
Mid game
Throw Baba’s Brew into contested chokes and watch the cycle: barrier for allies, silence or burn for enemies.
Late game
Feed The Birds wins teamfights that last — start the channel on a grouped team behind your frontline.
How to beat Ivy
The partner. Ivy is twice as strong when she’s attached to the right ally.
- 01Kill the connected ally first; Ivy loses half her strength.
- 02Don’t stand in Entangling Thorns.
- 03Expect Air Drop onto your backline and keep a stun ready.
