'''Ivy''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. She is a gargoyle-turned-vigilante with potent supportive and disruptive abilities to assist her allies in combat. After setting up a Kudzu Connection with an ally to share healing and buffs, she can summon patches of Entangling Thorns and transform into her Stone Form to damage and stun the enemy while healing herself. With her abilities of flight, she can pick up any ally or bomb and fly them to any point on the battlefield, choosing to either explosively Air Drop them into the middle of the enemy battle group, or rescue an ally from danger.

Ivy's former life as an inanimate gargoyle ended abruptly when she was summoned to life to protect a girl and her family from [[The Mendoza Syndicate]]. Vowing to protect her new family, [[The Arroyos|The Arroyos]], Ivy began a vigilante mission to dismantle the Syndicate. After 18 years of work, she succeeded at defeating the organization, and now searches outside [[wikipedia:Spanish Harlem|Spanish Harlem]] to find a new goal to dedicate her life to.

* Kudzu Connection does not require a nearby ally to cast. 
* Both Ivy and the tethered ally receive the bonus [[Fire Rate]], [[Bullet Lifesteal]], replicated healing, and the T1 upgrade's [[Move Speed]] buffs.
* All health gained from any source other than Kudzu Connection, after applying [[Healing Effectiveness]] modifiers, will be replicated. This includes healing from [[Health Regen]].
* The replicated healing received is treated as having no source player, meaning it is not increased by {{ItemIcon|Healing Booster}} or other healing buffs.
* If a hero is at max health, any health they would receive is still replicated.
* An active tether can be canceled by the buff-removing effects of {{ItemIcon|Curse}} and {{ItemIcon|Nullification Burst}}. If done while Kudzu Connection's T3 upgrade is unlocked, Ivy can immediately recast the ability when she is able to.
