Ivy's gun has very little ammo and only 2 skills that synergize with gun build so why gun dps? Well, her bullet damage grows from 5 to 10.7 over the course of the game. Thats 71 base dps to 149 base dps. This is the highest max level base gun dps of any hero. We just need to A) have enough ammo and B) make it to mid game without feeding too hard. Additionally, her dps is pure bullet damage and not on hit effect so every weapon damage buff is fully effective (unlike haze, who only gets partial bonuses from stacking weapon damage). At 32k souls, you hit ~2500 sustained headshot dps for 12 seconds with our full combo.
We are so bad early. Farm hard. Use your katzu to wipe waves. L->R
I usually grab a regen or rite to help with the weak lane phase
Jungle and crates/statues inbetween waves. Ult for urn / ganks. We dont really exist until we get Intensifying mag. Note: use active reload then QSR in your combo to get more milage from the buff.
Buy whichever of these you need before you get glass cannon. I purchase return fire and decay almost every game.
These are all good items. Buy what you need for the situation you're in. The power spikes are lucky shot / crippling and ricochet. You need defensive items to survive teamfights though so dont be too cheap.
