How Nurse Harrow beats Ivy
Your game plan as Nurse Harrow
A battlefield medic who heals with her gun, starves enemy buffs with leeches and terrifies anyone who looks her in the eye.
Lane
Throw Leech Therapy on enemies that just used a buff. The leeches eat its duration while they deal damage, and every leech you collect feeds your other abilities.
Mid game
Load Healing Needles when an ally is low: your syringes heal teammates, and dealing damage earns the charges back. Wretched Vapors makes an ally faster and delays the damage they take, so heal them before the crash.
Late game
Lurking Terrors locks down anyone facing you: no stamina, no movement abilities, then fear. Open the bag where the enemy has to look at you, such as a chokepoint or a dive.
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.
